The car in question has indeed been run incorrectly

1 It was not tied down correctly
2 It has been run in the wrong shootout mode
3 The ambient temp was not changed from the default of 25 C
4 The humidity has not been changed from the default of 60%
5 The inlet air temp of 65C appears wrong

The operator has been notified of our disaproval

we regually run over 1000hp at the wheel in Australia and America

Running in shoot_44 allowed a slower run up of power preventing wheelspin. The high ACT's were caused by progressive run ups and heat soak, and as Daz's engine bay is extremely tight the room for both the Ic and air flow is limited. On the road he normally sees up to around 50DegC which is not ideal but space prevents any further improvement.
Karl was not a dig its just that less knowledgeble people were believing the figures as fact & not understanding what was going on. will not post we know this engine makes over 600bhp just not nearly 700bhp.
I know this Forum is a numbers game but did you really think you could get away with that giggery pokery .

When the dyno distributor posts that the figures are dubious and publically says that the operator has been berated I dont think anyone else has to start up anything tbh.

He wasnt, was just pointing out a few things to those of us not familiar with the rollers in question.

It is actually a little pointless posting a graph if its known not to be accurate really?


What was the ATW figure Karl?
As that will help put the whole thing into perspective i should think?

Well not really as the distributor himself said the temp and humidity setting was way out too.

Wonder how big the bribe to G-Force was

The prob is many will have believed this post , my son came in & told me he had heard that, that Red Dolimite had made near 700bhp on a GT35 whats does Mark say about that. I assume Karl knew the facts & i waited a long time for him to come clean, but he didnt so i told what i knew.
Mark is completely the opposite in his approach, only ran mine to 2.2bar because he had already passed his Target figures. Me i wanted to run 9bar & put 165ron in. Mark said we will go further when its in the car & then prove its got it at Brunters a rather different approach.

No atw figures as yet i see, probably thinking by now that conning people aint wise.

Course it aint mate slow as f**k my old girl. Do you realise 5 cars have gone faster over 1.5miles than mine in the UK, too many for my liking, thats why its having more mods done over the next month & it will be the first street car in the UK to have this done. Target figure 930/950bhp & can i suggest thats a conservative figure. 216 at Brunters would be nice, but would be difficult.
Rod

ps. It will go on the rollers in this new Spec. so expect some very High figures should be over 700bhp atw & no con tricks i assure you.

The validity of the dyno figures have been questioned and given Mike Gurney's post they appear to flatter an admitedly very powerful motor.
If it were Karls intention to deliberately decieve, which I am sure it wasn't, surely he would have made it over 700hp.

they obvously knew that the figures werent accurate tho so why post it and have a guessing game to find out the answer before he did post the results when infact he doesnt know himself lol.
its obvously a very very fast car no and i love it tbh but i just dont see the reason for trying to misslead people as thats what it looks like

First time the distributor for the dyno used has said they were dubious and bollocked the operator.
