Looking good Tuna.

Which octane rating fuel have you tested?

I believe that in the US, 91 is the (general) max.

Cheers,

Macca

Most states in the US use 93 octane. 91 is mostly in the smog tested states.

From our testing Macca BP Ultimate 98 (RON) Aussie fuel is VERY similar to 91 octane (MON) US pump gas. We gathered this data using our tunes in the Gen-TT equipped Pontiac GTOs

Consider our figures then as a baseline of what 'can' be achieved on commonly available pump gas, with the 93 Octane guys having even more up their sleeve

The engine has a 230 @ 114 LSA camshaft in it, and a set of ported 'Pro-Filer' cylinder heads. Nice little combo

Well then, there will be many, many very happy US GEN-TT drivers when you get these kits over there.

These results are as impressive as the Commodore based GEN-TT. Couple this with the lighter weight of the F-body -

Test driving this car today had all of the development crew of Raptor scrambling for the passenger seat,i was interested to compare it to my own 550hp at the wheels car and the extra 200hp at the wheels is the next level and quite scary and i found myself snugging the Nascar style harness down,power delivery is so sharp for a low compression engine with quite large turbochargers and tyre smoking wheelspin at 100mph requires only small throttle input...pulling up and giving the 4" thick intercooler the'touch test'showed the entry side to be luke warm and the exit side was ambient..cant wait to see Raptor at the strip

I got the chance today to put the Fbody out in some early morning South Aussie light with a great clear view of the area under this car of our turbo kit. Hopefully this shot will give a clear indication that our highly powerful twin turbocharger kit (which doesnt need to use small turbos to squeeze inside a BMR) has plenty of ground clearance

We engineer our solutions correctly, and with massive potential, hence we have the quickest radial tyred/street drag cars in Aus by a country mile

Interesting. I have GT35R's squeezed inside a BMR K-member. Since your statement would imply these are small, how much larger are yours?

GT35R's actually fit well there.

Compressor map?

What springs are on that car it looks like its ready for a rally race? Looks like you can fit four fingers inbetween the tire and wheel well? Those must be stock springs. Either way the ground clearance seems decent from the other pic.

Are you going to supply some wastegates with lighter springs on request, thus allowing us to run on the stock block for a while( if wanted)?

I have the map in a PM Street Tuna sent me. I dunno why he didn't post it. Maybe he for some reason doesn't want it posted yet?

I'll PM it to you.

Hey that is interesting, and I stand corrected. However when we dimensioned up the area there is no way we could fit a GT35R sized turbocharger on the right hand side of the vehicle with the standard air conditioning, starter motor etc all in place
