while you are at it.... ask Paul to explain to you how running the thumper head proves out..... he ran slicks on a gutted car that couldn't beat an RMW headed car on street tires..... ROFLMAO>...... 13.1 @ 108
ON STREET TIRES......... Paul says he wants transparency
show that dyno of the thumper head on the dynapack that he ran... he admitted it was 3% difference... then we can overlay a PROPERLY DONE RMW car over it and you will see the difference
be sure you understand the situation

Jan,
Not sure why you have chosen to be such an a$$ about this. While I agree you have done amazing things with RMW (I chose to have my car tuned by you), you are not the end all of Mini tuning. That would really suck if the only option to get big power from these cars was from one company.
Although I no longer have that car, I may pick up another as prices continue to fall (hence my interest in this thread). My hope is there will be a few companies to choose from offering reliable options to tune or modify my car.

If the battle of the beasts ever comes to fruition, let's make certain that we're putting the cars through their paces. A 20 lap heat doesn't prove anything. I want to know if a (street legal) car can last more than 3 hours under full load (a 24 hour enduro would be a real test).
don't worry our parts will be tested much longer than that
Someone spent a lot of time on the polishing wheel. The water-jet plate is just silly. All in all looks like a show car engine.
Longboard

I never raced the drag car becaue 454ft lbs of torque won't be friendly on axles.... you having broke 13 of them in one weekend at pinks should tell you this. This was all done on less power than what I had
I don't have 13k to drop on axles to prove a point
especially when it will gain NOTHING in sales

unfortunately, you still miss the point of our relationship with BMW NA/MINI USA. the purpose behind building and racing the drag MINI is to demonstrate the versatility of the platform and showcase the possibilities that can be achieved with the marque, not to sell parts. the drag MINI is not anywhere close to being a purpose built fwd drag car. Its a stripped down unibody that currently is used for drag racing.
our goal continues to be exciting the community and showing the racing enthusiasts what the little MINI could achieve. going by the tremendous feedback, over 60K+ views of our youtube video from PINKS, compiled by Tuls, and probably over 1 million + people who viewed the full pass of the MINI beating a 9.90 bracket camaro on PINKS ALL OUT, i would say we did our job and far exceeded everyones expectations.
btw, i think we both agreed that i would have looked better as the pizza...

totally understand your point of view. just like i rather not spend $13K+ on building a stroker 1320TVS MINI on trying to prove a point.....

I dont think Jan is being and a$$..his stuff is just the standard dat everyone should try to match and try to better...and as every vendor should, defend the claims that they make..If there are new products from other companies can achieve bettering RMWs products..then there should be a contest...1/4 times, laps around a track, Dynos...Slowly but surely, RMW will be beat...Thumper's TPR-2 Head have achieved similar gains to the RMW Jesus Head with a less specced and cheaper head...
and once RMW is beat..then Jan can make more RMW products to raise the bar more...this will never end...and we as the MINI modding community hopes it never will..

sorry but 13.31 on slicks vs 13.1 on street tires is NOT EVEN CLOSE

well we can agree on a couple of things then.....
I can't believe you sold your car. It really was the cleanest Mini I've seen. But you got an M3 now right .
I think you go and get whatever you want from whoever you want. Turbo, SC or what ever adder it's all good as long as your happy. For me it's the Rotrex. It's kinda the best of both.
This thread is so dump it's not even funny.
Longboard

My point is that most of RMW's replies have been arrogant in nature. I don't see why this is necessary.
If Paul WANTED try to make an apples to apples comparison and run street tires then we would have an accurate comparison
...... look no further than his second time on drag radials and see how much slower he ran...13.67 just think if street tires were on.... probably closer to 13.9

Yeah, I miss my Mini quite a bit, but love the M3. HPF may in the near future.
Glad to hear all is well with yours!

A direct comparison should be the TPR-3 and Cosworth BV against the mighty RMW BV head...that'll surely get everyone glued...
