Well another cracking night at the Road and Track dyno , big thanks to Trevor and Steve for looking after GT03 , if you have ever had your car on a dyno you will know how scarey it is at full boost so Thanks to Funky for coming over and calming my nerves :-)
Having fitted new bigger injectors the plan was to give her a tweek and see where we end up , 500bhp was on the cards but in the end a safe setup was opted for so 490bhp it was at 6550rpm
With the torque capped at 440lbft to Protect my 5 speed gearbox , as last year she revved her guts out and the torque curve is nice and Flat which feels very nice on the Road !! Tux

absolutelly awsome... and very wise to keep the power and torque at those levels as even with the gearbox mods you have its unliekelly the 5 speed box will take much more.

6 speed gearbox and forged pistons this winter then smile

So thats 30hp more from fitting injectors? Were the roads dry enough to feel the benifits last night simon?

Would have been nice to have made 500 but with having cast pistons as well the sensible thing was to not push things too hard !! there ip plenty more torque if i need it !!!!







unfortunately we had to take of my front wrapped carbon hedge trimmers , with those on she would have made 550 wink

Hi Steve , was knackered on way home so never had the chance to go to high boost ,but low boost felt very nice !! Jetstream tomorow so will probably get chance to give it a bit of stick then !!
