I'd like to see some 30x12-15 Hoosier slicks strapped onto the car running that engine and see it run the 1/4. Forget chassis dyno figures, they prove absolutley nothing. Timeslip is everything!

How can anyone say an engine dyno figure proves absolutely nothing? I don't get it. Isn't an engine dyno the most accurate indication of what the engine can do?
Prime example, throw teh engine into a D12 bulldozer and it will do the quarter mile in a few minutes. How does the 1/4 mile really indicate anything? The only thing it indicates is how quick an engine with a specified horsepower and gearing can push a car or vehicle (of any description) across the quarter mile.

I said chassis dyno (ie: power at the wheels). I'm not disputing the accuracy of an engine dyno. Chassis dyno's, however, have absolutley no credibility and should ONLY be used as tuning devices, and devices to see if your modifications have actually increased power (ie: dyno stock, then dyno on the SAME chassis dyno after adding exhaust etc).

Then how is the chassis dyno relevant in this thread? This sucker was engine dynoed.
In the real world, an engine has to push a heavy car, run through a gearbox and a diff and then put the power down to the ground with much stress...
Don’t get me wrong all development work is good for the Ford army, but the track is where we see what really is done..
well done to Nizpro for putting up the cash to do this cant wait to see an ET.
Time would have to be the most accurate tool of measurement we have..
Zoom has a article in the new edition comparing BA turbo upgrades, and it looks as if aps shit all over nizpro, but this thing looks wild - well done
Also the nizpro product looks much neated and refined imho
i read that article too bt they are totally different kits that they compared seemed a bit pointless to me. i too cant wait to see this 1000hp beast get down the qtr
I have installed a Nizpro Stage 5 motor into my car, with slightly more conservative cams and slightly smaller turbo.
Car is currently putting out just under 600rwkw, and very close to the target 1000HP at the flywheel. This much work to be done in terms of driveline.
