Picking the Wedge up from JDM dyno tomorrow with it's new Emerald ECU and coil packs, not got the full power specs yet but it's pulling 300lb of torque at 3000rpm! not bad for a 3.5L

Fantastic !

...Must go and check the plug gaps on mine...then fit that supercharger.

Not done the final power run yet as John at JDM is having some problems with the supercharger belt slipping but he is machining a gizmo tonight that should resolve the problem. I will be a happy bunny if it is more drivable at slow speeds and hopefully it will should produce around 250hp, only running low boost at the moment, once everything is ok I will up the boost and maybe switch the Noz back on too!

Are you coming over to York Dragstrip on Easter Sunday for the TVR shootout then Tony?

Sounds like your Beast needs some good runs and see how you do against Derek DBV8 in his Chimp on Nos!!!!

Let me know if you want more details for joining us

Cheers

Hoping to get over to York for that one if the car isn't in bits again, just back from Carlisle and going over the dyno sheets, max hp 249 and max torque 308lbs, the figures are inline with expectations but something strange is happening to the boost off the supercharger (dropping) could be knackered rotors or a leak from the pipework so will have to investigate that one but at least it's running lovely and smooth now, pulls great from 15mph in 5th and no more drive line shunt.
