WOW! now we know
Just had the first session running Full boost off Nitrous (2.54bar).
The Test track dont lie & had Mark "Feathering" on a curve that can be taken flat out in any car hes ever taken round it. The guys past it
need a younger man to drive this car. As a rough guide its as fast off Nitrous as it was on which equates to Marks estimate of an extra 80 horses as we know the old exhaust was limiting the Power on Nitrous. The3 1/2" exhaust is fine & maybe a Tad quieter than the old one its the nadgers muts & i will post a picture when ive taken one.
MarKs still tinkering & wants to make a few changes so cant finish it off.
Mark thinks Nitrous will only be possible at Brunters & I agree, this car is going to do serious damage to the 0-150 & Topspeed records. As you can tell im chuffed to buggary & it far exceeds my expectations.
Have geared for 208mph hope its enough
