The IMA spec will never be known ....I am the equivlant to the Tescos value brand....so gonna be total shit
MARK is trying to convince me to dyno it as opposed to live road map....but i have yet to count my 2p's
The more i look at my spec the lower the bhp looks......if i dyno it i must get 600 plus on pump fuel.

I think most people have realised that big power over 500hp isn't worth the hassle/money involved in achieving it! Obviously there are a few exceptions like Rod etc...but most seem to have either gone away from YB power or seen the light and kept it sensible/reliable

Never been in one but apparently the 5th gear pull is the equivelent to a 450bhp 3rd gear
I just want to say i got 600plus...on the road it will be around 500bhp ....Oh and to get the highest DIY built/specced top speed 3dr record

Reasonable power + nitrous seems to be the best combination to me.
500bhp+ isnt needed very often, so why put yourself in a position where you have to suffer lag all the time just to make it quick now and then when you need it, with a smaller turbo + nitrous you get the same power when running flat out but less lag the rest of the time.
I guess everyone has their own preference though.
