thats killer, what sort of boost you have to throw down its throat for 160mph with standard head?, be interesting to back to back test a fully ported/larger valve head, is the turbo a Gt4508 or similiar? cheers darren

It makes more power with more boost but its baby steps at the moment. Its a stock Garrett 4508.

Cool, thanks for your reply, be interesting to see how much is left on the table, 160 is moving out, would Ben be interested in doing the head at all? cheers darren

Yeah, the power is just calculated now. Tuning it at the track is heaps easier and way more reliable. When or if the MPH stops going up we may look at making some changes. Until then the old girl seems pretty reliable.

It can only get quicker from here.
