Back to driving school 4 u.←No I live on the goldcoast, Dave from nizpro flew up and did the work as I was using their parts etc. As for time in the red zone.. what RPM you recommend? My car is still making power and the limiter is only at 6200 and I never hit the limiter in the runs. I guess my driving style is a throw back to my Cefiro which was making 500rwhp and would happily make power until 8500 limiter.As for more info that swift is making around 250hp @ front wheels and weights 700kg.. I think most XR's would have trouble against that.When you figure out how to compensate for 1ton differance I'll be happy to hear Also its hotperthcars.net not perthstreetcars and I'm a former west aussie now a qlder Edited 06/04/06 10:32 AM by summoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a few possibilities.-your power readings are not correct-your clutch is not holding the power (what clutch do you have??)-you revving past peak power band- or you suck at driving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am yet to actually take the car out racing alot, or learn it's habits. I live 10mins from work and don't have the time to regularly go to the track. If I need practise so be it.

Being high in the revs shouldn't slow it down much if at all and it's not hard to put your foot to the floor and change once or twice. I think if you dyno it you'll have well under 300rwkw's.Geea.
