Wez Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Was nice to meet folks today. I might have caught a little too much sun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Great to meet you all today Lovely weather and company, dispite the 'gap' in the middle of the day...! Got very sunburnt and am now in a bit of pain! Some great results today for everyone except Darren (darn boost leak now ) Paul Whiffins car was phenominal, but I'll leave him to annouce the result Also a very good result for Gaz after the final mapping, but he looked a little scared after taking it on the road. Gaz, it can never be 'too fast' Edit - I have plenty of video of the day which I'll post later on. Double edit - Thanks very much to Jaymdee and Wez for the lifts - much appreciated guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I got burnt too. The perils of top down motoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just home and feeling the effects of the sun myself Was great to meet you guys for the 1st of what I'm sure will be many times and some great results. Big thank you to Ryan for sorting out my car, turned out to be a dodgy pin in the ECU plug! As it was working on the way back I just had to have a little play with an AMG 55, think he was rather shocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yep, great day, sorry I turned up a bit late, blame Steve L for that! I'm absolutely over the moon with the power mine made, 849.7bhp at 8500rpm and still climbing, 1.6 bar boost! Sorry Aran, I've beat your record! Still loads to come from the car to, I was planning on running 2 bar with pump fuel and 2.5 bar on race fuel. I think 2 bar on pump fuel should see it get close to 1000bhp which is a nice number. On the road the car is absolutely mental, tyres light up in 1st,2nd and 3rd gear and finally gets full traction in 4th, bit silly really but a right laugh.

Homer Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 As mentioned, brilliant result there Paul, you smashed the SRR power record by over 120bhp 726bhp at the rear wheels too Will try and post a short video of it later (lots of flamage from the exhaust ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mas Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Only if I had logged in last night and seen this I would have come around as I want to put the car on dyno, logged in at 12 noon today and saw this Is there another dyno day coming soon?!

JamieP Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Wow bet that sounded mad at 8500rpm, well done Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Nothing wrong with that reasoning Great result mate Its a bit more manageable on low boost, 1.4 bar, still lights them up in 3rd though! That turbo is something else and its not as laggy as you might think, might have something to do with the 3.4 stroker though perhaps. I'd love to do a comparison of a non stroker and stroker with the same spec to see what the differences are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
