Would a muffler take away enough power to worry about? I don't care about
the neighbors, just myself on a 3 hour drive.

1C=60A Alt, Flame Htr at Front of Eng
1D=Improved Head Gasket, Pistons
LD=N.A., LDS=Turbo, LDT=Turbo "Clean-Air"

Which is better? LDS or LDT?

I've got a collection going on engine types. It appears as though all
engine specs are not created equally. :)

LDS-427-2:
    HP (net) 130 @ 2600
    TQ (net) 330 @ 1400

LDS-465-2
HP(gross) 195 @2,800 rpm
TQ(gross) 425 @2,000 rpm

LDS-465-1:
    HP (gross) 126 @ 2600
    TQ (gross) 300 @ 1400

LDS-465-1
HP(gross) 175 @2,600 rpm
TQ(gross) 425 @2,000 rpm

LD-465-1C:
    HP (gross) 126 @ 2600
    TQ (gross) 300 @ 1400

LDT-465-1C:
    HP (net) 130 @ 2600
    TQ (net) 305 @ 1400

LDS-465-1A
HP(gross) 175 @2,600 rpm
TQ(gross) 425 @2,000 rpm
