1/4 Mile AND Dyno testing the 930

[jetjox]

Recently finished building my 930 and finished with the dyno tuning and wanted to get some real world track tuning done. This was 135 mph run, however the objective was to leave very easy and just run it up through the gears for data logging and tuning. Three passes were made with no boost changes.

He shot out on me good, but the horse power of the little Porsche was a humbling experience for him. Later he wouldn't even acknowledge my existence, go figure.

Jrod,

Love the second video because you tee'd it up perfectly. Great sounding and fast ride. I am sure you will see several people post wanting photo's since you only have 6 posts... I would recommend getting those in order.

Congrats on a great car and win!!! Any HP figures? What has been done to the beast?

Cheers and welcome,
Bryan

No no no....you've got it all wrong. He was running against a very fast 930! With your dyno results, you should have smoked him. You must, must, post additional picts and specs on your car.

[jetjox]

Yes, I'll post my build sheet tomorrow for you guys

Great results. How have you handled the high boost.

500 hp at 0.7 sounds like it breaths really good.

[forte500]

JROD, specs of the build, please...I am considering variable boost controller so I can turn up the boost at higher speeds. Running 500WHP at .8Bar, but in 3rd -5th could go higher. Nice work and great video!!

[wjfk32]

NICE!!!

The vette guy I guess he wonders "How the heck did he catch me???!!!"

[CaptainCalf]

Hey neighbor, I work in Sarasota and live in Lithia

Nice ride! Is it an EFI conversion and did you do it yourself? I ask cuz I'm working on one too...

Thanks for sharing & see at the track...JK

[gmendo]

I bought the car to build and the enjoyment of the journey. Then sell it and hopefully make 5 bucks an hour for my time? For me it's just about the journey.
