Posted 17/04/06 02:37 AM Share Posted 17/04/06 02:37 AM The best and only way to get a definate answer when people doubt power figures is at the track. Simon does take cars regularly to the track so I'd imagine we would have some times to back up the power figures in the near future. Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time I find it amusing that not long ago some were ridiculed for claimimg numbers of a lot less then even these figures.good job all and savaged, enjoy the new beast... because that's what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do make it to the strip, I'll solicit some advice beforehand. I have an aversion to looking like a knobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers,Ben.←absolutely... although I remember a certain member saying that you cant make an injector flow more then its capacity... does its capacity become more on a car with the F6 badge?? seems that way I remember SIXRT getting laughed at for claiming 268 rwkw cant wait to see a few more in this power category ... put to bed some of the crap that floated around some time ago.

I estimate the octane to have been around 150. Dave commented on the smell, and I replied that it was due to the sh*t Dunlops it was wearing.Oh, and I cheated too. During the power runs, unbeknownst to Dave or Simon, I stuck my head in the engine bay, and blew into the plenum through a maccas straw for extra boost.I'm starting to think the whole things was a baaaad idea. I can't find 150 octane fuel at any of the BPs, and Laxatives aren't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always variation in any part - ie whilst an injector will have a nominal capacity, there is likely to be some variation in actual flow - hence one of the contributing factors as to why some cars will make more power than others.I am definitely not questioning or trying to undermine a great result for Savage - more whether Ford are playing games and have 'tweaked' injector capacity to acheive such great results with some consistancy.Either way the BF typhoons seem like an extra tough car straight from the factory producing top power figures and some great times at the track. all good for us as car enthusists and for getting some additional horsepower for relatively low $! cheers,Ben.

I don't know about the octane boost though - the delivery mechanism seems like a real pain the A$%#... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
