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.

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

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...

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.

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!

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

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....
