Had a great session yesterday with the car.

Rolling road - was ace, very impressed with the results. A stock 2.0 Zetec 1994 (12 years old), bike TB's, MegaSquirt and a MAC#1 custom exhaust - 155bhp (at 6200 RPM). I limited it @ 6200 - was too scared to thrash it to 7500 straight away - so probably engine is good for 160hp?

The Torque curve was awesome 135lb foot

I took it down a private road - it's bloody quick

So just the usual sticking of rubber and plastic over the next few days ready for Monday!

Nice one mate, be good to see another on the road. Hope you get on OK on Monday.

Hi Jacko,

That's at the flywheel mate - around 135 at the wheels.

You lose around 20hp through the transmission/tyres etc.

As stated you could probably get more - my rev limit was 6300 - the power curve was still strong at this point.
