If we have to spend all day here tomorrow, I will be getting someone near here to buy me a bottle of whiskey, the cstore and walmart both have it, and they are both within walking distance.

OK, thanks, Sid.

The car I ran with today was just on the dyno with 340hp.
Now I thought I had about 400hp.
Now with these changes I made and after today, not sure.
It seemsd like a fair bit more than a 60hp diff.
More like 100hp.
May be time to put it on the dyno before I put the new trick turbo on it.

Could be a matter of final drive gear too....

What kind of phone do you have?

svandamme 12-22-2011 10:51 PM

i would think that final gear affects top speed, not Dyno HP@ the wheels.
top speed @ the Dyno is pointless anyway, cause there is no wind resistance

vas930 12-22-2011 10:53 PM

We both have the same final drive

A cheap one.

Where the hell is Richard....

He's the dyno buff....


I've meant to put the 944 on the dyno, but I'm afraid of being underwhelmed... I like not knowing....

Or plausible deny-ability as it were...

vas930 12-22-2011 10:59 PM

I hope I dont have to find out its top speed.



I dont want to know.

I couldn't own a car and not know its range....

Hell I know that my corolla is limited to 111mph.... ;)

I chickened out before I found the limiter on the M....

vas930 12-22-2011 11:01 PM

I dont really care that much , Sid.
It is enough to scare the crap out of me.
Just thought it may be an interesting calculation.

vas930 12-22-2011 11:05 PM

In Australia, you loose you licence at 130kmph.
So thats the early second gear in my car.
4th gear I can go to jail.

Not a big fan of jail, Sid!

That's a bummer. I've hit 115 in mine. :p

vas930 12-22-2011 11:12 PM

How did she sound at 115, Dave ?

slodave 12-22-2011 11:18 PM

Purred like a kitten! :D Also sounded like the engine and tranny would explode!

slodave 12-22-2011 11:19 PM

Its the same in the US. Triple digit speeds are big trouble...

Mine wasn't terrible, but it was no M3. If I hadn't looked at the speedo, I would have thought I was doing 90, its scary smooth at 130....
