The overall engineering package you will have is hard to beat.

Really?
Huh. My S-Car-Go/Proto package is putting close to 600 to the wheels (I have 2 dyno sheets, one tops out at 590 the other at 597, both on high boost). I thought the full proto set up produced more. Wow, I guess Rob King really knows his stuff.
By the way, Scott, what do you think of the OP's claim that a proto tuned GT2 will not be much more than an average fast car in the Cleveland scene?

Regardless, I'm not a big fan of dyno #'s anyway. I've seen cars put down a lot more than me on dynos that aren't nearly as fast.

Example? I raced my Supra against my TT from a roll when my TT was only a Stage 2 (trapping 126) and barely beat it. Supra was running high boost, with no NOS at the time. So around 570 rwhp (made 711 rwhp with NOS). I think he'll be pleasently surprised that cars with a lot more HP than him will have a hard time beating him.

A guy with almost the the same Protomotive setup that I had made 720 rwhp at 1.85 BAR on stock internals. But I never cranked my boost that high.

I think he's underestimating how fast his car really is. These P-cars really have an outstanding ability to efficiently put their power to the ground that other cars do not, and it's very deceiving how fast they actually are.

Not sure about your Avatar. I have Avatars turned off so I can't see it.

This is a sensored board? Sorry i didnt know you are not allowed to post your oppinion. Dr. jitsy was rambling nonsense, he doesnt know the facts and kept cluttering the topic. If i am out of line feel free to "remove me" i dont want to be a part of a community where members must kiss mods feet.
