Well i don't think rick waters lied about the figures, we know there is a gremlin in the chassis. But do appreciate the advice. We will keep searching.

As an example, you will feed plenty of fuel to the engine while it is on the dyno because there's nothing to cause problems. But if the fuel system is not able to keep up with the engine while under a heavier load, or the system can't push enough fuel through the system, then your HP will be cut drastically. And in your case, I see 75+ missing. That's significant.
My suggestion is to find the missing HP which will cure the low MPH issue. Then you can work on the rest of the car.
