Congrats thats pretty good, you must be happy with that? By the way what do the 220kw xr8's get on the rear wheels in stock form?

So you gained around the 20kw mark roughly for the rear treads then?

I noticed the graph says max power at 6400 rpm ? I didnt think the 5l could rev that hard ? WILD6 - have you ever seen more than 6000 on the tach ?

nah the rev limiter cuts in at 6250 rpm what i think happened is the revs r about 1000 rpm higher than what they r coz when he was doing it he said it makes max power at around 5400 rpm where as on the graph it says 6400 rpm
the 13.9 i ran at heathcote backs up the results so im fairly happy
just xcant wait to stroke it now

Things like these should be happening on a more frequent basis :) WILD6 instead of stroking it why not slap on a blower and maybe be the next gary meyers LOL.
