Mike,
the photos dont do it justice!!The effort Tim and Harvey have put into the install is mind blowing just the heat shields alone
the rear plate is being changed for"feckin Irish whiskey"

Is this car going to run at events like the Daddy Thrash on soon, or is it just a Talker so that every one can discuss how fast it might be.
Get it to Brunters & run against the MAD offerings, or is that as I suspect not going to happen. Remember where the Bullshit stops Mike, thats what you used to say to me.

Rod,
This car will do all it's talking on track. Final drive restricts it's top speed to a max of 175mph @ 8500rpm . It's only running a direct drive top, due to the fact that there are no long roads / straights in Ireland 
.
However, it's not very often that you see Harvey getting out of a car shaking.
Even with the fact that it is 4x4, at 2.2bar of boost, it tries to snatch the steering wheel out of your hand like a 250bhp RS Turbo .

Mike,
any reason the BHP figure is so high but the torque figures arent? 460 lb/ft seems low on an engine boosting at 2.3 bar through a T66 and making 600 + bhp
Not a dig before anyone starts and yes i am a MAD camp member, but i'm only asking out of pure interest, not to start a bitching session

Just looked up the weather history for that day (and day before)...
Click this link....
Then click the drop down box (MAX TEMPERATURE) and change it to
MINIMUM temperature then click GO...
http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-b...n&PRG=klimavar
It shows a mimimum temperature of 12 deg C for that day.
Even the day before it was above 10 degrees C.....

.Same way that you get different readings on chassis dynos, if the settings are not identical in the computer, then you get different readings - simple as
.I think if you put Mark's engines on Harvey's dyno, they would produce less torque than on Simon's and vice-versa. Please note, this is in no way a diss, it's just that unless you run IDENTICAL programs, there WILL be some differences in the read-outs
. As I said, nothing to worry about, as long as you always stick with the same dyno for repeatability .

What a crock of shit 
So this is why my engine produce more TQ which means more power also is it is now run on Simons Dyno
Is this your latest attempt to try to make sence of my engines 
,As far as one of my engines going to Harveys place HELL will freeze over before that happens But I will offer a Free payed by me dyno day time at Norris Desgines place for a Harvey engine so all you do is turn up pull the lever and record the fig and see what it does,
My offer will stand for the next 6 months so you can find a suitable engine.

Simple answer why dont each of the cars take each other on at top speed, 1/4 mile and timed laps? As the greatest person on earth said on this thread "The bullshit stops at brunters"

Maybe your mate shouldnt be stuck in the past
just remember No T4's 7.2-1comp or Weber Management in or on my engines maybe a look in to the future is needed
