I have to admit to wimping out on the dyno today !!
I ran the ign timing 7 degree's retarded from what (on paper) I should have run.
Long story short!
I was on the dyno for 3 hours and did a few runs to set stuff up;.
Then I did a full power pull. It was going ok until the rear wheels hit 147mph. The slicks ballooned as they do, and one of them clipped the inner wing and got smoky. So Martin aborted the run. But the run was almost over anyway so I'm not bothered.
Results:
11psi of boost = 383hp with 495 ft/lbs
11psi with a 175 shot = 526hp with 544 ft/lbs

Nice run... I would have guessed pre dyno at between 600 and 800 hp.... depending on how brave you were with the Nitrous...lol
I have seen a few dyno runs that had probelms with slicks and bodywork
.... next time, ordinary road tyres...even if worn.... and I would bet well over 600...
All the best Brett
