That's not too shabby! A fair bit more than the original engine would have given before you gave it to Dave
The 'Six Barrel' should liven it up a bit more tho

Had its first outing yesterday to the Village Day Show, for the first year they let me put on a small car display, was going to be 12 cars, but there were 5 no shows due to technical difficulties/injuries. I could not get to the beer tent through the queue of people wanting to ask about the cars...

If it's setting off car alarms and rattling windows, then it's just about right
