Horsepower, Found

The blog has been quiet for a bit, but that doesn't mean we've been cooling our heels over here at the shop. In preparing for the 2010 season that is fast approaching, Chris took some time out to do some testing and diagnostics on his car.

First up, Chris wanted to see how his car sat at the end of last season. The car did better than any of us could have imagined it would and we were pretty sure there would be a price to pay for it. We never really got to dyno the car with the boost turned up at all, so Chris gave it shot. The results were initially mixed, but after two sets of 26" x 10" Mickey Thompson slicks and a few hours later we had some concrete answers.


At just over 35lbs. of boost the car made a little over 1000hp to the tires. At 46lbs. it made an astonishing amount of power by cracking the 1200hp mark at an SAE Correction factor. Actual power uncorrected was over 1250hp, but we'll stick with SAE Correction for our forum geeks out there ;)


After our dyno adventures, Chris moved onto testing a few new products he hopes will give him even more power than he already has. Hopefully, 2010 will shape up to be just as exciting, if not more, than 2009.

Keep checking back here for more testing results!
