Standard rods and bolts will not take 270bhp........ at least not for long! lol

Plenty of people have had them go below 250bhp!
Same goes for a standard gearbox, mine sheard teeth off at only 190bhp and I wasnt being harsh with it, just put my foot down in 2nd and off they came!

Also if you spark table has not changed since you emailed me your map then IMO it's very retarded and would struggle to make 270bhp, there could be a lot more power to be had with another 8 or so degree's of advance
Just my thoughts though.........
I think arquing is totally pointless in this case with the accuracy about kta-racing rr.
But i say about that rr result that i have dynoed 5 cars there before, there has also been many powerful factory cars and graphs has always been what there should be. For example bmw m5 e60 gave what it should. I dynoed my ex rst there and result was 194bhp but now i have pretty good head and i think that turbo is most important thing. I really dont remember what map i did send you but i can take a look about that spark map what i currently have in my car laptop & ecu.
Is that so hard to believe that my spec is working so fine? I was first pretty surprised with result because it gave 259bhp in first run without any cam timing or ignition tuning. It was 100% mapped in normal road. The rest of the power was found when i adjusted little bit more boost.
But if you still hesitate that spec and power i can next summer go to different rollers and take run there. There is still no any sign that any place is tearing part and i bet that performance tells something. I will take quarter mile run to prove it next summer. I still know what 194bhp rst feels, and that my current setup is something else.
Also fact is that i dont burn rubber and do traffic light race. I think one key that your engine and gearbox will live is that driving like a normal car most of the time spares engine and gearbox.
edit:
And.. i newer broke gearbox with that 194bhp power and that car was usually driven like i am stoling it. Those mad years when i was young.
