Ok then fill in the blanks approx power will do or
quarter mile times if were not number chasing

Black car ________

Lockys car _______

Jims car _______

Any others??



Jims car _________

403hp and 360lb :-), 1.45bar
385ish hp at 1.25bar
335ish hp at 0.85bar

I'm well happy with that. Makes good power even at low boost levels.
Bare in mind this is no huge old school t88, so still a pretty small turbo which I'd guess is the main limiting factor along with the sidemount ic in the quest for crazy hp levels.

I'm well pleased with the car

not a bad time, but i think the 116mph says 400bhp fly ish


andy, this was 2nd time drag racing and on stock tyres, i should have stayed at home, that day intake temps were 70c ask ryan.g, i had a a scored engine with blow by and could run 1.2 bar.

there is also a reason that on that spec the exhaust was 89db at 5,000rpm, you get the restriction in the map, and id say ure right, 400hp on that day,

i had been doing 126mph terminals at shakespere months before everytime with 2.2 60ft's, no traction, and yes no skill.

anyway, im living in japan now,

the problems ive had are not so related to what pp did at all, its result of tradman ship here, wont name names

What makes you think it should have been a striker kit???
I don't remember there being any mention if it having one?

Also, stroker or no stroker, cars can still easily make power, it can't be down on power cause of no stroker, makes no sense.

And afaik, very few project threads on tb are built by tim, can't see you getting banned for that, pmsl.
