19-05-10, 12:15 GMT+10#41 im not doubting its a mad car.. but lets get real.. 450rwkw is 150mph+ any day of the week. anyone who tells you different is an idiot. i ran 157mph through an auto (mph is down with an auto) with 510rwkw and 1450kg car..
141mph is showing that the car has about 550rwhp through the manual and that power at 25psi is believable.
if that turbo maxed out at 34psi then i think you need a new turbo, my turbo is 3 times the size of that and needed 52psi to make 1000rwhp (single cam) and 168mph on 1400kg shows thats the right power needed
i think you need to adjust the dyno settings to about 25 degrees instead of 85 degrees to give the accurate readings to match the mph in my opinion..
end of the day this car is bangin gears down the 1/4 and thats the shi/t!!! hope it goes fast with the manual cause we need more of them hitting the track up but gotta get real with power figures thats all.

19-05-10, 12:50 GMT+10#42 yeah i don't know........ kil351 it pretty hard to argue about how much power it really makes....there is alot of reasons why a car won't run the numbers or mph at the track, so i think its pretty damn pointless discussing it. for the record my car mad 440rwkw weighed around 1580kg with me in it & run a 9.69 139.....yet i've seen Vl,s make the same power as mine on the same dyno & run a 9.1 at 150mph(yes it was a ****load lighter then mine) i just don't think you can say "this power should run this mph" to many ****ing variables
either way i think this car is insane & would have to be alot of fun!

19-05-10, 20:40 GMT+10#51 Haha cumon whats the worst case scenario his hand is gonna read? 25degrees!!! Has anyone asked why the airtemp sensor is where is it??? Just before the run they realised the airtemps on the screen were 7degrees and matt realised it was on the floor (how it got there, we dunno, maybe while hooking man pressure up it got knocked off) because we had limited time before the videofeed for other states came on we had to get it back to nornal temps so we got a accurate reading, so he grabbed it off the floor just intime for our run to start. Like i said what the worst soneones hand will read. If u wanna get technical we could have put it on the filter like a normal run and it would have been much warmer and read a little higher. All we wanted was a fair go.
Lets stop stirring the pot here and realise this car is a truley powerful car. There are plenty of cars that have done similar power. Everyone that was there and watching this car can vouch for the power it made. It made similar power in 5 different runs at different times. Lets keep this thread to positive comments as nigel and team have worked really hard to get it to where it is.

What lift and duration are the cams, or is that TOP SECRET?
