513 Rear wheel HP at TVR power today!

[Brummmie]

Took it TVR to get the latest goodies dialed in today, best run was 513/510 bhp/lbsft, the goal was 500 so well pleased, Jason the dyno man spent alot of time on the 1-2k range, so it will drive nice in the traffic, and i can honestly say its the best it has ever driven in traffic. Bear in mind 576bhp at Emerald made 442bhp rwhp at TVR Power, its a hell of an improvement. I'll post graph later, oh...best AJP around 320-330bhp at the wheels.

Nice one mate.(part of the brummie fan club)

[Mr.Cerbera]

Holy st !! :

Congratulations !!

I've read somewhere that the highest, unassisted, speed achieved by man was a freefall parachutist who jumped out of a baloon 5 miles above the planet - Approx 600 mph I believe. I guess when you've got that much wellie under your right foot you probably think he's a pufter ?

Madman. How much is "enough"?

[Brummmie]

Here was best run....



And for those who say they are lazy and dont rev, not the best run but the furthest...

[Flashheart]

Well done chap. Looking at those graphs though, it seems as if you don't really need to go much above 5500 rpm as torque and BHP both fall off - and I liked thrashing it

And the car

[itsallyellow]

Looks like an ideal torque curve for a tow car though!;)


Very impressive mate!

[BLUETHUNDER]

Have you ever thought about adding a SC to your engine?.There was a blown C5 Z06 in the classifieds with a reputed 633bhp at the wheels.There is also a fella on Corvette general with a SC 850bhp C6 Z06.

[Brummmie]

Its pretty death defying at the moment! 3rd gear 95mph wheelspins in a straight line in dry but bloody cold conditions. As for shifting 6500rpm looks about the right spot to shift to me, puts you nicely on the upslope of peak! If i were to anything more bonkers to it i think twin turbo, but realistically i need more rubber on the road, flared arches and split rims..all tastefully done of course

It ate the alternator today, bloody unreliable Jap rubbish!!

Nice on mate, you'll be needing that driveshaft soon!!

I managed to fit the LS1 alternator in the original location on the original bracket, with a bit of jiggery pockery

Rich.

that is just staggering
