Well today was the day I said goodbye to Silver Streak.

 

I took the car up to see JD and picked up the new owner on the way.

We tinkered, we mapped and we mapped some more then we tinkered some more (Well JD did :D).

 

After some very nice mapping, we dyno'd the car.

At 14psi we were hitting 500bhp, we continued to map and up the boost with 19psi as the safe target. Unfortunately at only 16psi the dyno maxed out before the car hitting its 530bhp limit. So the rest of the mapping had to be done on the road which was fun to say the least. The car is now mapped at 19.5 psi and I can safely say it's rapid to say the least. God only knows what BHP it's running now at 19.5psi. At 16psi the torque was well up there with the bhp.

 

We got back to my house swapped the V5 for the cash and I watched it drive away up the street with the new owner behind the wheel. It was a sad ending to a successful day. Gubby111, I wish you all the best with her and pray for many maintenance free miles for you. Keep in touch. ;)

 

Big thanks to John Dixon and Good luck to the new owner Stewart (Gubby111).

So it should circa 500 at the RW with better spool up than stock tubs:nana2:

Not sure about 500 at the rear wheels.

I'd probably be more comfortable saying 450RWHP.

But you never know... Gubby is checking his calendar to see if he can make the RR in Surrey so I guess we may see then.

Hope he can, would like to see the beast in the flesh:)

Are you coming??

Are you coming??

 

At the moment I should be coming along.

But obviously now I don't have a Z, if something comes up at the last minute I'm going to have to give it a miss.
