Re: 709whp from Modern Automotive Performance!

Yeah, unfortunately we can't do any crazy strapping of the car.

Next time around I think we are going to pull it on, strap it down, spin it on the rollers to make sure its straight, and then deflate the tires and strap it tighter, then re fill the tires. I cant think of any other options outside of slicks.

I am kind of confused about the low torque numbers too, but with how well it holds torque all the way up to redline, I think it will still be insanely fast. The motor has pretty high compression.

Chris's car only made 537ft lb's, and that was a 2.4.

I think we might be able to get some more out of it as far as torque because we haven't even really touched timing in DSMLink yet.

Would having an overly ported head do it? That could explain the low torque numbers on both Chris's and Kyle's cars for what they were running. It looks like the upside to that though is that power holds forever with large cams, and keeps the powerband very broad.

Torque breaks shit anyways! lol

There is zero boost creep. It hit 38ish lb's and held steady.
