Got my car on the dyno at the APS day. The dyno dynamics dynamometer read a max of 152.2kw in shootout mode. I'm pretty happy with that for a stock 185kw with 167,000km.

152.2RWKW (APS dyno)
Switchable Shift Kit, K&N panel filter, Lukey straight thru mufflers, momo gear and steer,
DBA slotted rotors/Bendix ultimate pads (front), Pioneer MP3 head unit and BA XR carpet mats.
These are the sort of numbers that an auto 220kw engine will produce.
Standard 185's autos produce approx 130kw.
Your engine can't be standard.

considering hes running around 95 mph down the 1/4, it sounds like it was pretty much on the money...
eamon can you post your time slips as it would be good to see your 1/2 track mph, and also your 60 foot times.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting what he's run on the track or the dyno as it's very impressive, though I am doubting that his engine is a stock 185kw unit.
The numbers don't add up, I feel it's closer to the performance of the 220kw.
BTW, click his name to see his 400m details.
