Finished on the dyno and here are the results. Found a few issues on the dyno (car not engine) but these are sorted. Now finishing final assembly and
aiming for tech inspection in a couple of weeks.

Hi from Norway,
Your car is by far one of the best race builds I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning!
Looking at your dyno papers I hope it is ok that I ask, the results are WHP? What calculations do you use find the flywheel HP?
Thanks,

That is wheel power.
To give you some comparison,
my engine in its latest incarnation only made 220,
and ran 10.93@122 weighing 1785lbs(811kg).
Michaels car probably will weigh less than 1500lbs.
(681kg with him on board).
Engine power would just be a guess.
Mine makes about 250 by comparison.
Michaels heads flow enough air to make 256,
so you can run the maths from there.

Thanks Dangerous,
Your ET of 10.93 with "only" 220 whp in combination with a weighing 1785lbs is VERY impressive. All my calculations would suggest around 260 - 265
WHP to manage 10.93 @ 122. Obviously I have no clue about Michaels flow numbers but if you say that they flow enough for 256hp I would guess they flow
around 245 - 250 cfm in 25". 222 WHP could very well be around 250 - 255 flywheel HP.
255 HP and 2.7 litre is 94hp pr litre which is OK.
Again, fantastic car!

I remember the black baja pumping out the Ice-T Iceberg tunes from under the story bridge in Bris way back when.
The new project is so awesome, can't wait to hear how it runs.
