On pump fuel, Id be surprised if you could safely map a 12.5:1 compression YB to anymore than stage 3 power levels without it melting when held flat out due to the amount of retard you would need, and the torque would be non existant compared to a good stage 3 car.
Bottom line is, IMHO this clueless idiot selling the car doesnt actually know the spec though, so you cant say what it would be from what he says, as what he says is a nonsense.

ah the infamous derek hasting lol....spoke to him several times and had to give up even gracing the muppet with a wave due to the bullshit stains on my clothing from previous meetings.i truely believe derek is smoking on the crack pipe!!!!!!
he told me he also bought a dyno proven 1100hp skyline from japan that ran 8 sec quarters and he was going to use that for racing track/strip.........it must be an invisable skyline as that was 2 years ago.also claims he had it at 204mph or sum shit on local motorway.

here i am, he built my cossied bmw and made a complete cunt of it with wiring melting and burning causing complete engine failure at motorway speeds, 3 turbos rebuilt by himself blowing within 8 months and general all round shoddy workmanship that cost me many more £££';s to put right. hes a pleasant enough guy but talks pure shite and cant live up to his own hype.
i think i heard you talking about him before
was this the man that sayed he had a big power yb but was being beaten bye low bhp cars?

yes, the previously mentioned 550bhp black 3 door and indeed this escort at knockhill and crail..

dont realy know anyfin about the car
but seen it at knockhill a couple times
i just assumed it was 350bhp(ish) by its perormance
obviously was nothing compared to andy's car on the bends
but even on the straights it looked nothing special
and with anything close to 800bhp and tyhe responce on 12-1
it should be amazing on the straights
and far from it
