Just went out and started mine.....sounds like my nan rattling her teeth, take it a couple of followers took offence to having there arse kicked......where's best for new ones?
The last couple of pages just made me piss myself laughing! lol Good power, I cant see the graph though because its blocked at work will have to look again later.
Interesting read.
The progress on YB engines is incredible. Do you lads realise that 8years ago this engine would have been capable of running close to a new rwd Topspeed record. . You have a 180mph potential car there.

It is quite amazing really isn't it, all thanks to the top tuners who have stuck with the old yb like Mark, Tony, msd, Martin etc and now even the new age tuners. Fair play to all of you
what's a fast 0 - 100 mph time for a car these days? my 11 year old bike that would cost about Ł2.5k will do it in 6.8s apparently, but a modern bike will do it in the 5's.

Are both Steves still running standard diffs?
Standard diffs and boxes m8, my box was little notchy before hand, Steve's box is a fresh built one.
If it aint broke dont fix it! Im on standard box and diff still and they been coping fine so far (touch wood), You have a smidge more power than me though, might just put them over their limits.
Ok just a quick update, the noise that i thought was a tappet is my air injectors, why are they tapping like fook??????? when i unpluged them to reroute the cable it all went quite!!!!!!!!!
Back in the day when you had your first 500 hp i actually had a white rs 500 built by joe stevens and mapped at mountune h/q that was 537 hp and 486lb ft
That was built and doing 8.2 to 100 back in 96!!
Fast car done a shoot on it with a couple of other motors etc including bbrs own race car at the time.
the closet car to mine on the day was the bbr car with a 9.4 to 100 mph!!lol
I wheel spun the whole quarter from start to finish in 11.54 at 132 mph too
That car was a beast but these days 600+ hp is more drivable with better low down torque etc..
cheers danny
Heres a blast from further back 2003 Totb qualifiers came second behind some chap called Hadland who was operating on a different planet at that time. 0-100 8.17s

Yep agree, quickest i did in my old 3dr which was 350/360ft/lb so similar to this was 11.1secs and i'm crap at launching.. that's a bloody quick car tbh.
Mine now with a better driver than me i reckon would sneak into the high 10s to 100 maybe??
I know Tib off here got a 0-100 in under 10secs with a 370bhp T34 cossie... proven aswell...
