Me too, hopefully we'll have the answer to that by the middle of next week!

if i had to take a guess, it should spool descent and make hell of power.

Haha... I like that guess.

Well we've had it on the dyno a couple of times, the last being yesterday at a GTOOC club dyno day. What has become apparent is that we have a restriction possibly on the exhaust side. we will start investigation with adjusting cam gears to see if it's a cam timing issue and take it from there.

As far as the body is concerned, many people said that the photographs that have been taken of the car really do not do the wide arches justice in that they are much much nicer in the flesh.

Anyway the numbers you have been waiting for are 832 hp and 755 ftlbs




Some pictures from yesterday.

I gotta say, in those pictures it looks fantastic if you get some time you need to get her outside to some nice locations for a few photoshoots.

The plan is to go to Santa pod next weekend to do a shakedown run. They have a professional photographer on site who tends to get some good pictures. It will also be lowered a little bit before next weekend probably down to 3 inches clearance under the splitter which is the limit I'm allowed to go to in the Jap drag series.

i thought you were going for 1500 hp?

[Permanent grin]

Never 1500 hp, but 1200 + would be good.

Never 1500 hp, but 1200 + would be good.

false advertising. the whp output should = the dr # at a minimum.

[Permanent grin]

On which dyno because they all read different. You get my point?
