it's 1.5-2h drive from London.
I am getting tool by end of next week, so hopefully in 2 weeks tune will be ready and I can share results. Will go St1+DP(o2 spacers) and than St2. Shouldnt really be a difference.

Several of us called him out from the start but he bs’d his way on up the community ladder. Eventually his house of lies collapsed but not until he took a lot of money from a lot of people. The automotive performance industry is full of these dirty people, many of whom somehow remain in business and even successful. Look at Hennessey!

Oh there are quite a few more that burned customers in the 2000's; they took deposits to bank roll other current jobs and then couldnt deliver and folded. MHP was just a fking joke cause he would also get in literal fights here on the forums. He would get banned, create new ID's, and get banned again---- long story and quite a sad one for him.

UK weather is ideal first setting Record Times, sea level, low winter temperatures but not below freezing. Good premium fuel available at the pump.
Your More then Welcome to pop down any time

thanks

March 3rd and March 16th Santapod Drag strip. Will Go depending on the weather then we can all compare the results against Dragy.
Also I will be racing in Vmax200 on the 23rd March which is a 1.2mile airfield Track for top speed testing.

Thanks

It’s impossible for anyone here to verify mods but I still look forward to the data. When it can be duplicated by any other car is when I’ll believe it.

But I do have a Question for the Experts here.

What Turbos would you guys Recommend for the Platform ? I have Spoken to Pure Turbos but anyone seen any other results or run times?
Once The DP are fitted I want to do Turbos in April time but First need to get some Drag Strip times before moving on..

Check out my thread. You are making more torque than I am and I'm running pure 900 turbos (stage 1) with meth. Car runs between 10.75 and 11.22, depending on traction availability. Before custom tune, car ran consistent 10.6 et at track, with no traction issues. I'm on 21s....need tires. Will order my r888rs for my stock 20s next week when home. Will run again. I'm in central Florida by the way.

My first transmission went pop, so my tuner has limited power and torque to 725/725 at wheels. Car can do much more with the setup.

How much did replacement transmission cost you? Can you put beefier tranny components in or are you limited since it's such an advanced tranny?

At the time there were no upgrades available/developed.

Interesting that this happened. My m157 is at 640whp and 780wtq with no tranny issues.

Im way down on HP but have more torque (stage 2 stock turbos), is the older MCT 7 speed able to handle more torque than the new 9 speed MCT?

No idea man. Car was tune only when it broke. No issues since.

What are the times for a stock car? How much power is a stock car putting out, I heard amg have it posted much lower than what it is actually making? I myself am not into drag times but looking more at track times and stuff. I really wanna look into more downforce but not many manufacturers out there who make a front splitter and rear lip spoiler that "actually" works.

I can vouch for that 1/4 time of 11.1. Also just to clarify for others, 650 is crank hp, no one is making 650 whp stock.

650 is 565 to the wheels in drift mode, right?
