Dyno queens. How will it do on the track? That's what I want to know.

P.S. Nice alliance tags.

I've only had my mini for a few months and came from the miata world. Anything over a 50hp gain in a miata significantly reduces the life of the clutch.
yes, I drove mine at 350 WHP for a long time, sometimes on cold mornings it would slip a little, so I wouldnt beat on it, but once warmed up it was fine, ofcourse even a race clutch driven wrong will go bye bye

I guess you can't tell Jerry since you never see the RMW cars on the track, they are all so far ahead of you.

Yes, this is normal power for these RMW mods. You too can enjoy the fun that is a RMW'ed MINI.

Rev Limit on this car was set at 7600.

Needless to say - whatever the number is - it will be more than you got today. AND while we all clamor for numbers, its the resulting drive ability that really is the value added.
