Hi Chris,
Make sure you take your GPS in the car to get an accurate velocity reading when doing 250kph.
Cheers

i never said that i was.

[Sheldon McIntosh]

That made me laugh.  Out loud.

[dehne]

if the yellow 90 is doing 200kms ill be happy as it will be parked in the garage as im talking about the grey 90  , and i would not do over the speed limit anyway not with the hoon laws in bendigo

For a topic that has had almost 2000 reads, it is one that interest a lot of people including me. It started off with a very worthy request which seemed straight forward and was in the main folowed by good advice that I can see. Somewhere along the lines it has degenerated into an implosion which is a shame.

dehne, you have 927 posts on this Forum and even though I don't know you well, you have always been helpful to me. From other posts that I have read from you, you try to be helpful as a rule. In that context, I believe you have tried to be helpful here but maybe made a slightly ambitious contribution for speed mods either knowingly or unknowingly and have now dug yourself into a hole to save face. The concensus of opinion is against your claim and frankly you are pushing shit up the hill with a pointed stick.

Mate, my suggestion is to retain your credibilty and self respect by admitting you made a mistake. A little humble pie is better than a cork up the foochoo from what I am reading heading your way. Your call.

7 pages!! I'll need a bit more time to form a proper respone, but i don't mind that the topic is now off-topic, still quite amusing 

Well, I got the result from Dyno Day today, only 106hp in the 24 year old motor! It may not be what it used to, but at least it runs smooth. But, at this point the 3.0L is starting to look more appealing. Will do a bit more research, ask a few more questions

[Sheldon McIntosh]

106 is pretty averageshit for a 2.5.  I got 115 out of my tired one a few years ago, John Toomath did about 125 in his standard one today, that has a nice exhaust system though.

difference between 106 and 115 could just be in the dyno runs, even on same day you can have 5-10bhp differences in how you tie the car down and tyre pressure etc...

My 3.0l cranked out 142.5 and Deano's 136.9 and they're both long in the tooth, mine has 376K on the clock.

Just quietly i think Beninca's know what they are doing

Fair point as I'm sure tyre pressures weren't the same across the field.
