Hamann7 is infamous around these partsHamann7 is infamous around these parts
1) I believe my traps could have been better if we had more runs, we should have been in the mid-130's.

2) I believe my car's top end is damn good... it goes to 200mph pretty quickly, probably faster than the other cars at the Shootout.

3) What the quarter mile showed was the area under the curve, i.e. torque curve.

4) If I ever turn the boost up a bit (after larger injectors and internal work has been done), watch out!!!

Hamann -

As fast as your car is, man... I'd just leave it as is. But, then again, you seem to make pretty good use of the existing power and maybe you would get more out of the additional top end.

Racer63, I think you bring up a good point. Actually, I am planning to do some engine work simply for efficiency and reliability purposes. I think people running 700hp should consider rods.

I prefer to run only 1.0 bar for the street, canyons, and track. I believe this is the best balanced setup for me. 1.2 bar and up is for dyno runs and drag racing.

Although I must say, at 1.0 bar the car isn't that much slower than 1.2...
