Jan's probably working on something similar in his secret underground lair
.I've never been to his house, but somehow I imagine it to be like Wayne Manor. Secret rooms leading to a hidden underground lair with all kinds of outrageous MINI's. With the Red Devil as the Jan mobile of course...

There's always this.
According to a friend, they pay you ~$2000 for a 6 month commitment (Going a few times a month)

.I have let an engine, exhaust, header, cam shaft, super charger and a few other things slip through my fingers over the years.
Not if you had all the parts
. There are a "lot" of hand fabricated parts that make up this kit. Longboard

When you do, I will drag my lazy *** outta bed on Saturday to see your amazing machine. I'll even buy the coffee.

Great looking numbers on the high end but the low and mid range seems to be lacking. In comparing your dyno results with many of the others posted here on NAM it looks as if many stock and all cars with at least a 15% pulley have more HP and a lot more torque at anything below 4,000 RPM . Yours seems to come on real good at about 4500 but with most normal shifting during daily driving being between 3,000 and 4,000 rpm how with this behave around town ?

Here is the latest version of the ROTREX...... 300whp was there but we ran out of injectors
550cc here we come
We smoothed out the graph some on subsequent pulls but didn't push the car as hard due to the injectors running out... Live to fight another day....
more fun breaking records anyway....
The US Rotrex guy was here today.... let's just say he had a big
on his face

This may have been covered in other threads, but why do your dyno graphs read in Flywheel hp?
If your dyno reads in Fly wheel hp, PLEASE do not mislead people and post the numbers in WHEEL horsepower.
I apologize if this issue has been covered and its just some sort of clerical error

ahh... someone who looks at the area under the curve! They DO EXIST! LOL
that is the major draw back to centrifigal blowers always has been.
Centrifigals always make good peak numbers and in some car communities have been known asbdyno queen superchargers. On the track (1/4) they simply do not get the performance of the roots type blowers or the turbos.

So you will be at CnC on May 24th? The more warning I can give the wife that I won't be sleeping in on the only day we sleep in, the better.
Wow it took five pages before some one asked that question.
I will answer two ways.
Jan started with a very stock tune and only spent time working on the mid and top end. Next week he is going to work on the area below the curve and finish the top end.
The Rotrex team was there working on a bonneville car during the tune. He looked at the timing down low and said we need to add a lot more timing because of the lack of heat produced from the rotrex over the Eaton. This is what Jan will work on next. The Rotrex will never produce TQ as fast as the Eaton but we can get close.
The Rotrex guy built Eaton powered cars for over 15 years. He is regarded as one of the top Eaton technical guys in the county. He stopped using the Eaton for a reason. Not cause it's bad it's just the Rotrex is better in many ways. The tq and Hp curves pull together. It is a very different feeling over the Eaton.
2) Driving around town is great. The car pulls away from a light like it did with a 15%. Once you hit around 3K you really feel it start pulling and it never stops. It really does get addicting to drive.
I'm curios?? Do you need a lot of TQ down low to go to the groceries store . Sorry I couldn't help it.
Next will be fun.

Good job on getting some impressive numbers
This may have been covered in other threads, but why do your dyno graphs read in Flywheel hp?
If your dyno reads in Fly wheel hp, PLEASE do not mislead people and post the numbers in WHEEL horsepower.

if you dyno'd as much as I do you would know that the software says flywheel when it's actually wheel hp
