My car is a full weight calais, and being an all iron V8, TH400 and a stereo i bet my left nut it's heavier than wizbiki's. and went faster and with more mph and rarely ticks over 400kw, its been on 3 dynos and reels off either high 390's or low 400's. (9.9@139 on less than 18psi and pump fuel exhaust on FYI) But like i said, lets not crucify him yet, if the power is really there it will go faster, and i hope it does.

Not racing. Took off the cat as I dont really know why I had one on there in the first place and they cant get the boost below 21. With the higher compression engine and pump fuel it doesnt like it so no good for tonight. Im shattered. Will have to get a bigger wastegate. Its currently got a 45mm turbosmart. Thought it would be alright. Howd it sound on the dyno? Ive never heard it. Left my video with them to video it for me! HA

haha, bloody cats Why don't you just chuck some tolulene in it? Costs SFA and will not only make more power, the extra timing will bring boost down. Laughin Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
