Paul's a riot, apparently he's a better comedian than tuner.

Hope that computer is attached to the dyno, your wasting time and you have some catching up to do.

In fact is 00.56 here and I've got to look at 200 Salvage vehicle images then have a shower and go up the Pod (drag Strip) to meet the other MT crew for breakfast then racing.

So I'll be here all night and I hear the steak is good.............

The bit of time I've spent in England, the use of "good steak" and "UK" in the same sentence was considered an oxymoron......... Cheers!

What a total clusterF%*&K! I have to say I really find it interesting that in the quest to discredit each other MY car has to be dragged in the fray! Anyone who has followed the story knows RedRum has gone through many changes and growing pains but bottom line is I AM HAPPY with my car!

Hi Kelli! You should have known about this place You're 1000% correct. You are happy with your car that's what matters. (let me know when you become unhappy with those Black Magic light please)

I think part of it is the fact your car is a good example of what Jan can do so naturally it becomes an example. That and Wes' sig
Kelli's MINI: Most Powerful MINI Owned and Driven Hard by a Girrl
which is entirely based on very limited evidence.

For now (my wife does have a Mini)
That said, it will be a long time before her car reaches Kellis' level though. esp since she likes it as it is. I may get it to 200whp and get yelled at if I try to go higher.

Oh and if you don't, or want to see how clear would look, let me know. The FF700s use the same housing we could swap bulbs for a sec to see next time both cars are in the same spot again.

OMG this read makes me not so proud to be in the UK as it seems to be represented by a bunch of hopers who struggle to have anything of worth to say.

Its like pi**ing on each others bonfire to make your own burn better!

Im just glad I grew up in the USA!

If so, what did they run to back up their dyno numbers?

How do you know Jove was running the RMW head? Big jump in performance from 105 mph to 107 mph and don't forget it only made 229 whp! So where has this extra power come from since the dynapack day?

I see you searching for clues on Mini Torque

no complaints from me about RMW head It's got the job done so far. The RMW exhaust system didn't work for me and getting black flagged because your car is to loud an't fun.

It would be nice if some of the RMW guys in the states would join in.. It could be fun? But this is not the thread to talk about such things.

Bump for track numbers from the other cars to "back up" the dyno numbers.

Jove 231.4 whp - 13.1@107
Paul Webster 226.6 whp - 13.6@102
Ruskins 211.2 whp - 13.8@101
Hyper Active 169.6 whp - 14.7@97

That was the order of the cars at the strip who'd been on the DynaPack. Paul's was sick on the day and even after spending a while stripping bits off mine as I wasn't running it still wouldn't run right but I'm sure he'll explain what it was.

technically the 400hp+ Cooper S3 is probably the fastest MINI owned and driven by a woman (Vanina Ickx) She sorta cheated with the engine and RWD though, so kelli can retain the title
