thanks david.

sounds sensible but even 500bhp could be tricky on some rollers , if you where into that sort of thing

what events are you planning to do in the future?

it should be good to see how your car does with the 6speed and an 8k(?)rev limit as I feel the 6speed with 7k limit, is a step backwards straighline with john banks car.

Well, seeing as you said 'no secrets' wrt to your engine and gave the compression ratio of 7.5:1. If you're only going to shoot for 500hp now the CR is looking a little low.

I doubt I want over 500bhp.


I tried that theory! doesnt seem to work for me either

Chris (going to the dyno with an even bigger turbo now)
