The car made 458 rwhp and 408 rwt with my restrictive borla 3 muffler system with 3.42 gears. They then added 4.10 gears and soem more tuning got 451 rwhp. Not bad since 4.10's rob a good chunk of hp on the dyno when switching from 3.42 - 4.10

I ran 11.80 @ 122 with 60ft time of 1.95. DA was 1800 with outside temps in the mid 70's. This was first time at the track with it .

here is the 458 rwhp dyno.

Do you have anything better to do that to Put OTHER people's things DOWN????????????

That's pretty impressive if you ask me. It's all fun and games for the people that spend their money wherever they choose. Its more fun not knowing whats in it for me. I like the suspense.

Could any of you guys in the CARTEK circle post the dyno numbers in a table format instead of the graph? I for one can never read what the numbers are where I'm concerned.

BTW, nice numbers, where did you race the car, Atco or E-town?

11SECSS- Comparing a4 to m6? Nice try <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> Takes a lot more effort to get an m6 there than an auto.

Terry wait a few more weeks when a few more customers will have the same setup. I guess their dyno numbers will be fake also.

Terry my mph is great for how the car was driven. I layed out the reasons for the low mph. If you cant read or grasp what I am trying to convey to you....I suggest you go back to racing your jr dragster with the kids!!

As I stated before.........stay out of any topics that have to do with my car or Cartek!!! If you dont have anything nice to say...There's the ******* DOOR!!!

Guys I wanna try and difuse this as I wont get into all this nonsense anymore.

Now I'm sure MMS,MTI.ARE,TR,Etc work very hard.Not taking anything away from them guys.They all make great packages.

But Julio has been working alot of LONG hrs tweeking heads,cams,tuning,and all the little things to get these numbers.He feels like this is his baby and when the time is right he'll release the info,just like he has on his on other setups.All the cams and heads r infoed on Carteks website.This is a NEW package and in time it will be on there too.Give the guy a chance.

Now if u want info,U can call Julio or Dave to discuss the stuff used for this setup.Its that simple.

U all are smart enough to know it takes alittle bit to dial a setup in.For god sakes give the person a chance.Tery u know that,dont knock the guy.

FWIW I forgot this a while back and was starting threads about BS and starting **** in threads with people.And for what?To make myself look better or feel superior.

There is no reason to post like this unless your jealous or just a plain jackass.

I wanna thank PSJ for saying what he said,U cant argue with independant dyno results and He seen with his own eyes what CARTEK can do.

Rom,good luck.
And as always I am outta here.

Did someone mention lawn mowers?

LOL, I'm looking to trade in my current John Deere for the all hydraulic, 4wd, 25hp, liquid cooled, fuel injected v-twin model with power steering. Now that's sweet. It even has a cup holder and mounting bracket to put a sun shade umbrella on.

It's prettys steep though, $11,869. Oh well, my lawn looks nice though.

Hey Bri, does it have a spot for a big blue bottle? If so, throw some wheelie bars on it and do some record breaking lawn mowing. How fast do you think you could mow an acre? Let's find out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

By the way Terry, JS's car did go faster in the quarter. And he weighed in at much more than you, even with a lighter driver. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Everyone needs to settle down.

You guys sometimes act like Brazilian soccer fans... Maybe we can all get together sometime and wear our respective tuner t-shirts and come up with chants and songs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

What does torque look like from 3000 rpms up?
