Subject:has anyone put a 1.9L van on a dyno?

I am wondering if anyone has access to a dyno who can test a van w/ a 1.9L
motor.
I would be interested to know what the van puts out with the performance
tuning of
6 degrees before top dead center verses the anemic 85 hp that is produced at
5 degrees
AFTER top dead center.
   My van seems to run so well, I would guess I am at around 100hp.
I can cruise all day at 70-80 mph ( 4000-4600 rpm) with the temperature just
below the middle
of the gauge.  Mileage is 17 mpg, but I am driving her pretty fast!
