Hi Guys,

We had the car on the dyno last weekend,through the auto and on 28psi,it made 305kw's at the wheels(410hp)(enough to run 9.70's@143mph)..We're going back on tomorrow to see what it makes on 40psi,if all goes well we'll see about 540hp at the tyres,if this car was manual it would be making 600hp at the wheels.....

We still haven't used the nitrous yet.....

I will try and get some video footage too....

Thanks,

Darren
