A little more power for an 86' GTV6

[dehne]

If you can't make it, maybe bring it down to Phillip Island in December, that's a good horsepower track.  Jim's 155 couldn't even crack 230 in March  http://www.alfaclubvic.org.au/forum/index.php?topic=4366.msg23501#msg23501  so you should beat him in a straight line too, since you can do 250. 

this is my ROAD car not race car will NOT be putting it on the track

I think this subject is going a little off the track and it seems everyone on to dehne.

Well that's alright, since you've claimed in the past that your racecar is quicker than the road one, so even better.

I think this subject is going a little off the track and it seems everyone on to dehne.

I think that if you're going to give people advice on a public forum then you can expect that advice to be questioned as to it's veracity.  I also think it's highly irresponsible to post claims which are clearly misleading or mistaken, if not downright lies.  If you can't provide one bit of evidence for your claims then you must expect that they won't be believed, and in fact may be mocked.  If dehne provided evidence that a standard 90 will do 230km/h, that his 90 has been chipped, and that it gave it sufficient power to get to 250km/h I would be the first to humbly apologise for doubting his claims.

well have been doing a little research and have found the reason why my 90's are quicker, reason 1 is that they have the leaded engine and reason 2 is they have a better gearbox/ratio's i will post the tech info up when i upload to comp

[dehne]

they can think all they like, but we all know that you are

I think Dehnes full of what all of us love about our alfas.................. PRIDE
I think pride is vastly more appealing than shit
Dehne If your speedo touched 250 ................ good on you.............. it was your moment and your belief
Do it again on a race track or controlled space and most of us will be more than happy for you

[dehne]

once i get my suspension fixed on the road 90 ill get it on the dyno and put the results up same goes for the race 90 to, not sure how the race will go with the lsd in with new gears will start a new topic for that one

[Sheldon McIntosh]

I'm getting me one of these, seems like the most accurate way to measure horsepower.  http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=41

Hey Sheldon

Thanks it's good to be back!

I am just stirring the pot as usual

I couldn't find 250km/h on either of these.

Obviously it comes up on the digital bit, not the bar graph bit.  Ya nong.  But only if you have a chip.  Alfa really should've chipped the 156GTA to get it over 250km/h.  Bunch of morons.
