Drivetrain Wanted: MORE HP!!
That video is definitely sped up... I've driven that track a few times & even though I'm sure his car is very fast, the speed he's running doesn't look correct. The straights are longer than that & some of those corners not nearly that quick. I've been through them in several different cars. The video shows speeds like you'd have in a prototype car not a street based GT. Look at the video time counter, and near as I can tell he cut around a 1:10-1:15 lap time. That beats the last lap record I recall being set by an ALMS prototype Audi R8! I doubt that his car is that fast... nice car, but let's get real.
I hope we all answered your questions Nick, I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but to get bigger HP you really need to let the little motor breathe better.
Let us know what you decide and any more questions, we'll be happy to send you in the right direction
Another NAMer...
is getting Dinan to try a custom tune for a RMW head. REally, you've tapped the Dinan stock catalog. Get a head for improvement all the time. Nitrous will give you more in short shots, but it's not for everybody....
