Supercharged prosport
Discussion
Had mine on radicals rolling road today for the first running after the transformation and it performed superb. My engine builder was breifed with the emphasis on reliability as I am using the car for endurance racing and the performance figures were outstanding from the dyno. 300 bhp at the wheels and 156 ft lb of torque, during the run, the car reached 175 mph !!! 1st track test this saturday.... can"t bloody wait.
Had a day at snetterton yesterday and the car performed faultlessly, I was surprised however, how quiet the car was, we had no noise issues and when the circuit static tested us, we registered 101db at 3/4 rpm! I can only describe the power as awesome, that is the only word that describes it. There was only 1 SR8 (V8) on track to compare it against and I was amazed when I drove past it down the revitt straight both of us on full chat. Apparently, the guy packed up at that point and went home !!. We have a few more testdays to do before the season opener at silverstone to fine tune the set - up to cope with the extra power so looking forward to those.

Rob, it is 375bhp at the flywheel and 299.98 bhp at the rear wheels when we dynoed it at radicals rolling road last week.
Andrew, it is without doubt an amazing transformation, although it was its first run on track after installation. All pointers are good though as we had no problems apart from the need to go up on fuel rating as the octane booster we were using was ok but on the limit. The company that has carried out the work are based in northampton and are called Greenhill racing and the guys name is Mark Fisher and his work number is 01604 586526.

So you've gained another 30hp at the wheels since your last post, then! Must be all this cold weather :-) We'll be out with the Juno next Tuesday at Snett, and then Wednesday and Thursday at Donington (Wednesday is a track day). Think you might end up in class 1 of Britsports this year!
