You really don't have a clue do youI'm sorry - drag-racing is not relevant to this subject and your engine's hardly FIA homologated.
In the spirit of the thread
Heres a recent rolling road print out.

Please note
1. Its in colour (helps with the context and multiple run overlays)
2. There is no tippex jiggery pokery on the curves (hmm)
3. Its backed up by real world performance data (1/4 mile times, 0-60 times, acceleration data etc and is comparable with like for like cars from around the world)
The two lines show a power and torque curve before and after some inlet trumpet changes
This was on a poorly matched cam profile, incorrect inlet trumpet lengths, unshielded headers on 97 octane fuel, we are booked in again in August to trial some more inlet trumpet mods, 99 octane etc, heat management, and the latest cam profile that we have been running..... should bring it closer to the 300 mark
If anyones interested I am going to post up a technical write up on the engine (warts and all) so you can all make one
Sean, as far as your persistant labeling of certain cars "drag" this and "drag" that....change the record ehh, JP does just as much "drag racing" as me, Darren Stiles, Terry Taylor and Mick Brown the same, I don't see you having the same dig at them (I wonder why ehh)
The only reason I even drag race is to provide reliable accurate data to base new modifications on......thats the bit I don't think you "get"
Surely you must do the same and have some telemetry on the GrpIV car to allow some continued development, or is it "blimey its getting hot again"
I was planning on running the car at Japfest 2 (last Sunday) unfortunately I had tickets to the grand prix
We are going to run the car at Donington before the end of the summer on a track day/afternoon once I have sorted some tyre issues out, previously on track its performed really well, (that was with a measly 250hp though).
Anyone else have any interesting dyno sheets.
