The record is like 130 or so from the EPL Methanol, lightweight turbo.
I would study up on what K24's can do if I were you. There is only one documented case of a K24 car trapping over 130 (that I know of on this board), and it was very lightweight and running methanol.
If someone has another please let me know. But there is very little chance that Roberts Cab would trap even 126. I think the highest non meth trap speed on K24's is 127 mph from a GT2.

I think everyone would agree that 60-130 is a better way to measure horsepower than quarter mile but regardless everyone has their own preference. Can't wait for your rematch with yellow turbo

Robert, on a serious note dont take it too personal bro we are only playing around for a few good laughs
look at Sid if he takes it serous i'll probably have a crazy respond from him.

First comment is, great videos as usual. Do you guys own the efen highways there? It is cool to be able to do that as much as you do.
As for the runs, considering that a ragtop turbo is almost as heavy as a GTR, that means that the Turbo would have to have as much power as the GTR, by Dr.J's reasoning, so Robert can say he's got a 600 whp car

That's the truth!!!
He'd put every tuner here to shame if he trapped 130+ mph with stock turbo's and those few mods in a cab. Race gas or not.

Just the few mods that I have listed (flash, exhaust, clutch, 16lb battery and race gas). The car only has 9200 miles on her and 8 oil changes, 6 air filters, 1 diff/tranny oil change and 1 rear set of tires.

Robert is limited to what his REVO program allows him to do, and also by his knowledge of the inner-workings of the ECU. If a real tuner (one of the 3 or 4 that I know of that actually tune the ECUs in these cars..the kind that writes the tuning parameters that he is using for his car) were told that they could run as much timing, and as much boost that they wanted, based on a specific type of fuel in a spefific area of the country, without having to worry about negative repercussions if anything were to happen to the car..you'd be surprised what they could do.

Just to note something from a few pages back; IIRC VP109 (and I have a drum in the garage - well half now - since the season started) is only 105 Octane. That's my understanding - YMMV.

You are correct.
