Posted 05/09/05 06:44 AM Share Posted 05/09/05 06:44 AM There are obvoiusly alot of skeptical people that believe that the full story isn't being told. The NOS is easy, the car will be running at Heathcote this Sunday and those that doubt can go and look for themselves. The power figures are harder. I had similar problems when I was running 10's a little while ago. I even showed one of the guys from PFM all through my car to prove I had no NOS. I was also told that my power wasn't enough to be running the times and MPH I ran.Alot of the information we have and are basing our figures on was from cars running piggybacks. With the edit the tuners are able to load alot more torque into the cars and this is helping with the times and MPH.I don't know of any tuner that would tell a customer a lower RWKW figure. Especially when the car is the quickest in the country and going to get alot of publicity. You would expect an inflated figure but not a figure that is less than real. At this stage the only cars running consistantly quick are from HPF. There are alot of cars that are close to running and then we'll be able to get some comparisons. Those that doubt the figures could always get their cars run up on the HPF dyno and then have a run at Heathcote. This would give some good guides. Until someone can prove otherwise I think we should all congratulate Adam and HPF and learn from what they have done. In 12 months time whats happening now will be old hat and we'll be talking 8's. It was only just over 12 months ago that their was 1 car in the 10's and 1 in the 11's. I had a best of 12.24 and was just behind Big Mick who had a 12.16. I had also just written off BOOF. Alot can happen in 12 months. Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Member 564 Member For: 20y 3m 25d Gender: Male Posted 05/09/05 06:55 AM Share Posted 05/09/05 06:55 AM The MPH dose seem a bit high for 430rwkw, but then again at 430rwkw a very well set up Ba should be able to crack a 9.9 (from what I have read.) One way or another his on a very good thing and really I don’t see any point in doubting him he has been delivering the goods for some time now.You will always have people that are out to piss on your achievements it’s just the nature of this beast and really it just part of a learning curve for all involved with XR6 Turbos. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam's a big strong lad and can stick up for himself if needed. I don't believe Spiko was having a go at Adam, he has some questions regarding power figures. If Adam has a problem with these questions he can raise them. This thread is about Adam breaking into the 9's and being the first to do so. Offer congratutions or ask questions about how, don't degrade the thread by attacking other members. If you have issues or disagree with what is said take it to PM's. Keep it nice in PM's, too.Geea.

They are a TUNING instrument ONLY. Forget the readouts and look at the times. Then if you want to calculate how much power the car is making work backwards from the time. there are plenty of easy to use calculators that will do this estimation for you. Otherwise, pay for Adam to take his engine out and run it up on an engine dyno - THERE is your ONLY true measure of the engine's power.Well done again Adam ... the proof of your car's performance is in it's time down the strip NOT what any chassis dyno might say.
