Is that 1200 American BHP or 1200 rest of the world BHP?

So what's next? I'm assuming this is where it starts to get a lot more expensive.

Yup. Just looking at a rather nice exhaust system from pacemaker.

Ain't that the truth? It is something that may be on the menu at some point.

Been a while since last update due to a very busy couple of months including an impromptu wedding to attend in Guatemala

New exhaust has been put on hold for a little while as I ordered a few choice parts from the states a couple of days ago. These parts should see a nice jump in power, more details coming soon

[PH XKR]

Are you withholding details in case you don't make the power you expect? Good luck with the turbonators...

[HappyMidget]

Lol, nah, just teasing some friends on FB the other day and they will see this Gonna post a "what's in the box" type photo when it arrives

Why thank you. Looking at your questionable taste in cars, I'll take that as a complement. Hope your toupee doesn't blow off when you put the roof down on your way to the garden centre.

Seems like 1000bh (US anyway) could be done with the 2.9.

This was kn normal fuel and at only 13psi boost! Not sure how fast they are spinning the blower though!

[HappyMidget]

940 on 93 octane. 1000 on race gas at only 12 psi boost.

[EJH]

Permission to split hairs...but is that 93 MON, as opposed to RON?

OP: I do hope you manage this; this is the sort of madness that PH needs, as opposed to cheap leases on shopping cars and children trolling in school holidays.

I shall cross my fingers and hope for the best!

[HappyMidget]

Yeah, it is whatever standard the yanks use.

Gonna be fun whatever the outcome is

[PH XKR]

A troupe?

Anyway why didn't Andy frost think of using a ls9 for his build, the fool
