I was
first on, and no, I didn't bribe them to get
2nd place with 329bhp! ;-) That's mainly down
to the DSBC I fitted this year. A decent
torque figure too at 346lb/ft.
|

I was
followed by Anis who scored top in the power stakes
with 333.5. Anis has also recently added a
HKS boost controller. And boy, just look at
that torque at 363lb/ft!
|

This is
Pete Draper, who scored a surprisingly low 263bhp.
It turns out Pete is running standard unleaded. I
guess pensioners just can't afford Optimax!
;-)
|

Next
was Brendan who was quite disappointed with his
score, but when you look at the figures he is still
within the power range for cars without a boost
controller (275-288) so he shouldn't be too
upset.
|

General
mug shot with Andre on his knees praying for a
decent score! ;-)
|
|

Urrr, I
think this is Andre's car. Again, a decent score
(285.5) for a car with no boost
controller.
|

The
tension mounts...
|

"My
car's faster than yours! Nyaaaaaaa!"
|

Dave
McCarthy's car coming out bang on 280bhp.
I think we were a bit surprised as it's a UK
spec car and we were expecting a bit more (like
300+). Perhaps this road is reading a bit low after
all?
|

This is
Dave trying not to get too excited! ;-)

Jap's don't seem to like leather so you won't find
many imports with it.
|

Ron
Baggett only managed 288.5 despite having a boost
controller. Then we found out he is also running on
standard unleaded. Try Optimax guys, these cars are
designed for 100 RON not 95!
|

Cobus
Wasserman came in at a not spectacular 275.5bhp,
but pretty good torque at 323lb/ft
|

Tim
Kiver got a stonking result with his bleeder valve
(317bhp). He's been very careful to set this up
properly. It would be interesting to see his boost
profile as I suspect it would tail off quite
quickly at high revs.
|

Dave
Rose managed a good score with 292bhp for a totally
stock car.
|

topless birds though eh Dave?) ;-)
|

It took
a couple of attempts to get a decent reading on
Simon Jones' car and even then it only managed
293bhp even with a DSBC (not enough to join the
300+ club then!). Simon suspects he may have a
boost leak somewhere (yeah yeah yeah!).
|

Kev
"Canker" Hodgson came in at 302bhp with a DSBC
fitted.
|

The
"I don't want anyone to talk to me" club!

|

Pete
Webber managed 304.5bhp with an HKS boot
contoller and various other mods. Couldn't help
feeling this was a little low, and there's a BIG
dip at 4500 revs, so his AFC may need
tweaking.
|
|

Rich,
the operator, is sitting in the car showing us the
boost levels on Mark Davenport's car. It would
quickly reach 1bar and then just suddenly shut off.
As a result loads of power was lost and it was
impossible to get a decent reading. Apparently this
car has some sort of custom ECU but it seems
something ain't set up right.
|

And
finally we have Ivan, who also did well with a
bleeder valve and a whopping chunk of torque
(357lb/ft!). This was the result of what looked
like a boost spike at around 3000 rpm and is
exactly why bleeder valves can be so
dangerous.
|

Time
for a drink, thirsty work eh Sully?
|

Chomp,
chomp, chomp!
|

What a
great backdrop! ;-)
