My DR1400 project started today

Yeah, as soon as Ben saw it wasn't making more power he let off. I really wish he would continue so I can see where my shift points are but bear in mind the guy had just pulled an all nighter to get my car running! I think we can forgive him eh? I'll have a word with him when we re-dyno for the side exits. The only way it will continue to increase with more revs is with more boost / timing.

That is a huge mistake when it comes to racing, shifting were power stops going UP.

Take a look at my dyno chart



Do you think I was shifting my car at ~6000 rpm were it's power stopped going up? NO I was shifting at ~8500rpm. That wide power curve kept me in the peek power all the way down the track. If I had shifted at 6000 I would have fallen way out of the power band and had to rebuild. Huge cams, huge overerly laggy turbos are grate for dyno numbers but wide power-bands are grate for track times....... (why do you think my car was always faster then Nelson's lighter, more powerfull, car even with him having a auto...)
