This is words from PRO'S and i deal with alot
..Thats why i ditched the GT35 as my comp could realistically only run 550bhp MAX on road fuel....and my 500bhp is lovely like this...get Karl to map it
Absolute crock of shit
.
1. I don't know anyone with 550bhp on standard compression that has fully loaded their car in fifth gear (on pump fuel) - do YOU?
. If they did, it would be 550bhp for 5s followed by zero bhp
. And don't give me any crap about switching to race fuel - WTF is the point in having a car mapped for high comp that you have to switch fuels before being able to max it
. You would be better off lowering the compression for reliability, enabling you to max it out when-ever you like and THEN running a special high ignition map for race fuel, which has the benefit of giving you 40-50bhp extra
.
2. YOU haven't even loaded your car fully in THIRD gear, let alone forth or fifth
, and if your car has 500bhp, I'm a space man
