748 rwhp and 590rwftlb.... works out about 860bhp and 680ftlb at 1.8bar

Turbo is maxed out at that, wont make any more power at more boost, ive ordered a larger hotside for it, going up from a .81 to a .96 to see if that helps flow, if that dont work then it will be a bigger turbo.

Feels insane on the black stuff, very happy with it tbh even at this power level, ill upload na graph and video tomorrow.

Yeah i think you are right, feels very drivable on the road, its got a huge power band, will get some incar videos soon.

That was on Vpower, we are not sure yet till the bigger hot side to the turbo comes but that might be it for pump fuel so will be the power i run about in it at, race fuel map for special days.

Never seen that sort of Dyno before - very interesting!

The head was built by PHR in America and modified by MVP also in america, both supra specalists.

The block was speced by MVP and built in the uk by Lee of SRD, Lee put everything together and installed it in the car.

Im confident of it holding together, my last engine was 60k miles stock and held together fine at 730bhp for over 20,000 miles without a single problem, i only went with a built engine so i could rev it higher.

I did a 10.5 @ 138 mph on my first go at santapod today.

I did two more runs after that, a 10.9 @ 136 mph and a 10.6 @ 140 mph but I'm getting a lot of wheel hop with the 17" wheels, I'm giving up for the day now before the wheel hop breaks my diff, back to the 15" wheels for next go.

Thanks.

My incar setup packed up soon as i left the start line (dont think it could take the Gbiggrin) so i only got this one looking out the back.

Pretty happy with my time today, im confident the car now has a 9 in it with some good rubber on the rear, the 17's didnt cut it, got loads of wheel hop as kirster suggested so thought id give up before i break a diff, gives me something to aim for at suprapod now.

No, just been having fun in it, only thing i need to do now is get more rubber on the back to help with traction, looking into some image split rims, 12x18 to take some 315/30/18 R888's

More power mods over the winter, just going to enjoy for the summer.

just a thought (you obviously know your motor well) but have you looked at spring rates and your shockers re the wheel hop problems
I only get it at the pod with the 17's, i have bought some 15" weld drag wheels now for next time im back there.
