Quite a bit down low. But I expected that. Its a big turbo. From 2500 rpm the car starts build boost. 3000 rpm you really start to feel the pull. 4000 rpm people are diving out of the road and cars are making way. 5000 - 7000 rpm you're holding on for dear life and praying there is enough left to have an open casket funeral.
The car will be at FR&R tonight if you want to hear what it sounds like outside the car. It's F@#K#n brutal:cartel:

Not yet. Leon wants to make it bullet proof before pricing it. Fuelling mods are very expensive for a stage 3 LPFP and Port Injection with a JB FSB should cost around $2500 ex delivery and duties. But that's only needed if you want to break the 600whp mark. There is still a lot to do before the car is complete. It all depends what turbo you want to use. A good turbo will set you back 15 to 25k. Labour is a big component of the cost. Rest assured it will be better priced than VTT, Motiv and RB options with the bonus of local support, no import duties and shipping costs.

Thanks dude!
Would be fun to race against Rowen or GS. I want to take on a GTR or 458 maybe a Gallardo or 2:rollsmile:. I don't think I will take Rowen in a sprint even if we making the same power. The power to weight ratio will make a big difference.
George, you up for a friendly run?
Rowen, what power are you putting down now?

I'm not worried about the spool of the line as I have the 2 step relay which will help off the line. My primary concern is the clutch. When I'm ready for a new clutch I will take on the 1/4 mile.
Jacques has DCT and is one heck off a driver. I have never put a car on the strip before. It will be along time before I acquire the skill to post serious times.

I am keen for a run. I am planning to take the car to ODI some time in March to get a speed with the RB's. Car will have the correct fuel then so we can have a go. Its a bit hard now asking the wife to run the car dry with schools etc in the way.

Ran the car at FR&R last night.
Oil Temps where just over 100 (taking friends on joy rides) degrees and 10% eth
The managed to put down 456whp.
I a little disappointed, we made a lot more last week but the car was cooler and I had 20% eth.
Going to change the wastegate spring and install the N20 MAP sensor today.
The plan is to break 500whp with no more than 25% eth before Sunday.
