Default At Last It Flies

finally got a result at Power Engineering yesterday, after 5 engines and shit loads of teething problems including dodgy ecu's, high rev misfires caused by wank cams and 5th injectors dying on me. After being on the rollers 6 times in 3 months I got 237BHP @ 22PSI and 245BHP @ 24PSI, It could of done over 250BHP with a bit more boost but I wanted it to be safe and even with the fifth injector 24+PSI was pushing it a bit. However Power Engineering kindly informed me that with the engine I have i could go for management and possibly see 300BHP.

Anyway the car is an animal and is the fastest thing ive ever driven, i will be taking it to santa pod soon to see what it can do.

I forgot to say it also has 257Ib/ft of torque
