I finally had time to get the car on the Dyno.

I took it to Under Pressure Power and Performance, here in Colorado Springs. They specialize in custom turbo installations, but can tune almost anything



My goal was NOT maximum power. I didn't give them a power goal - the parts are going to make what the parts are going to make. I wanted good power, with a flat torque curve, and conservative enough to last just about forever. They did a pretty good job; 418hp, 405 ft/lbs.

that's a bad *** go kart ! what does it weigh ?

 

Congrats man, that thing put a smile on my face just thinking about driving it.

 

I haven't had it on the scale yet (soon), but I expect it to be around 1700 pounds or so.

 

O.o the power to weight ratio will make this thing an animal. Looks real clean.

 

Damn bob, nice!

 

I can only imagine the thrill ride that thing has to be with that power to weight ratio. Fantastic boB.

 

That is awesome! The Exocet guys are right down the street from us here in GA and we're always impressed with their builds at the local car shows. That should be a REALLY fun car!

 

It probably won't be the fastest car on the track - it would need a better driver for that. But it should be a real hoot to drive!
