Very noisy. Especially in a confined area where the dyno is done.

I have never seen a petrol engine developing such high torque from 1,000 rpm and staying flat all the way. That means you should be able to idle up anything without effort.

Interesting how 33% of the power and torque is lost between the engine and the 33" tyres. :surprised:
Would love to see the loss with 31" and 32" as well to see the difference.
I must say I am relieved, that the car a least does what it should given this set of parameters.
But the other dimension to consider when experiencing the effective power at our disposal is weight...

Hmmm, I would first have to make the engne inhale faster with a bigger airfilter.
But I have already spent more on the car than I can sell it for.

Swambo says I will have to supercharge the kitchen first.
