I do not care.

I have way too many other things to focus on, to maximize my track time, than to play high school AV nerd (which I was).

Mute button works fine. Or people can feel free to remix my videos with Fast and Furious soundtracks.

 

Thanks Don!

I'm probably going back to VIR with Trackdaze, March 21 and/or 22

 

Was you 120 per the speedo, or per GPS?
Because at 125, my speedo reads almost 140 with the 15" wheels on

 

My instructor this weekend was certainly more impressed by what the big center speedo was telling him...

 

If anyone ever wants to read (or link to) the condensed version of the build.... I've consolidated all the actual build posts on a new blog at GPRoadster.com.

I'm going to add a little more stuff to the old BlimeyCabrio.com blog, to finish out the story of that first car.

 

Coming soon: Ridiculous Power



The dyno for TVS kit development car, on E85. Not yet fully tuned. But this is in the ballpark of what I'll have when The Phoenix is "done"

 

For anyone who can't read a dyno chart, that's 368whp, 290 ftlb torque. With a rib cage-crushing torque curve.

 

Here's that boost graph Chris mentioned. The car is running a ridiculously low amount of boost while getting those numbers. And the boost declines at the upper half of the RPM range due to intake/throttle body restriction that will be resolved. There is significantly more possible out of this system. Perhaps 400whp with the right tweaks.

 

LOL

With a stock bottom end, it would happen closer to 300HP

But not with the RMW Stroker. It's built to support 500HP+
As are the axles.

My OSG clutch will be borderline. It should hold over 350, but I may need to upgrade to the dual disk version.

 

You may be right, but I was told otherwise.
