That dyno sheet should ignite the air inlet temp against the actual air temp argument again!!

Its what happens when you unplug the sensor , it defaults to 230 degrees.

Adds correction of 1.5

Am I seeing things or is that supercharged and turbocharged? 'cus that massive thing sitting on top looks like a blown up version of the Eaton used on the VXR500 etc.!

Presumably got a Borg & Beck or Ferodo clutch then!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, what sort of 'link' between motor & rear wheels would be able to handle that sort of power?

Lol sorry to dissapoint you boyz, but she doesnt make 1200 bhp, more like 1500 on pump fuel and that was 2 years ago! Since then the car has been tuned more extensively and consitantly pulls 1700 rwhp. Also, the last car Eddy had that engine in, a VH commodore, used to pull low 8s down the quarter mile.

Also she doesnt have 383 psi of boost, thats the engine size in cubic inches. Its a Holden V8 (304) that has been stroked to 383 and then twin turboed. Goes good, you should see it in real life, scary!

No need to be sorry

I am not disappointed, would still be awesome figures whatever the final bhp is. I guess with a broken sensor then nobody can be 100% and every degree would make a fair few horses difference.

No mistaking that this is one hell of a monster, wouldn't mind seeing some performance figures for it although I suspect it is a bit of a challenge to get it off the line! eek
