Well we took Chris Bolton' turbo drag bug to the dyno today at South Coast Rotary and set up the Holley carb & re-mapped the MSD ignition .
We were on the dyno for just over 5 hours and finished at 10pm tonight with outstanding results .....

385hp @ the wheels & just under 1500lbs tractive effort on 19psi boost . The engine sounds really strong and is now ready for the drags on saturday 13th July .....

Awesome numbers gents! That's like a gain of 150hp?
Without doing a lot of calcs,
that should equate to at least a one second improvement!(1.5 sec if you can keep it straight!)

Thanks Dean , hope everything is good over there in England also . Yes Chris should go a 'little' quicker than his previous PB of 10.3 , with an extra 150hp @ the wheels

Had a mixed day today. First couple of runs stalled badly on the line. After getting it back to pits I discovered the staging brake had packed it in and stayed locked at the line. So I tried to drive it without staging brake. Not with great success but still recorded a pb of 10.17@137. Made it to the second round before being beaten. So now it is time to replace brake and make a few minor changes and chase a 9 sec pass. 9.99 is not to far away.Lol ..going to the next test and tune day to have another play. Wayne did well in the dragster but I will let him tell you all about it

We took my beetle out for a run at the test and tune today. As wayne explained in his test & tune post. After putting in a new staging brake. I could not get used to the feel of the brake or car today and cant explain why. Oh well next time. Still managed a new pb of 10.014 @ 138.5mph
