Pete Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Sorry I missed this guys. I just couldn't haul my lazy ass outta bed. As it is I've not had enough hours in the day. Any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 crikey! 850? I seen some quite good runs. There was a silver Supra, not sure who's it was ran 364 ish at the hubs, which was good. I was most impressed by Johnnyknox's who is running what appears to be your basic BPU and got excellent 413bhp at the hubs!!! Pushing the 500bhp @ the fly barrier. A couple of pics, one of Johnnyknox and another of SupraNicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Steve Sherwoods car is a serious contender for a TOTB entry for us. Even an "optomistic" figure of 850bhp on Thors hub dyno, still puts it up there with the likes of Envys car. It was running a 2.1bar map on race fuel. And, he's a thoroughly nice fellow to boot. Anyway, just a quick thanks to Maz for getting today sorted and keeping everyone happy. Always good to meet new people and get to know them a bit more. Big pat on the back to Peter Richards and his wife who worked really hard doing the valets as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattanna Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Great day and thanks to all, Steve Sherwood is a top bloke, the car has been dynoed elsewhere at 850bhp hubs, and he tests it at elvington as he is from Hull, the dyno run was unbelievable and the noise incredible, i was happy with my 267 hub figure in my stock Aristo.Peter Richards, genius he made the cars look new:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Hmmm.. Seems a little high for BPU.. No offence anyone. bizzare I know but that's what it made. Nothing out of the ordinary engine wise. Could be some hybrids but nobody's sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug as stated though, he had it dyno'd elsewhere aswell and had 850hp figure. I spoke to steve on the phone yesterday and he had told me aswell that he had a figure of 850 earlier this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he has hybrids in there.. he must have! Not sure if you remember the 1st meet we had from leics forest east i remember him flying by me and keeping up with nicks. he still owes me those brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattanna Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 What is interesting is that some people at the day who thought their cars were stock got a surprise, for instance Glosphil had a blitz ecu installed which he did not know about, unless you have a thorough look around them you don't know what those Japs have been upto!!!

It's impossible for the stock injectors to support nearly 500fwhp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Jonny does have hybrids. If I remember the Thor guys didn't know til he mentioned it to them. Jakes right though, he must have 550's and something to control the fuelling in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
