Yeah sure. If one comes up second hand I'll let you know as well. I know a guy switching to a bigger one now and he never keeps a setup for long lolWant to sell me one and install itIn the future of course @TME_Steve
And yeah as adam said 3rd gear not 4th gear pull....
Yep third gear ill inform him next time give forth a go might pull bigger numbers
even plumed back external gates are damn noisy. doesnt help when your trying to be a bit sleeper
It's just a Magna on roids gave a VF HSV GTS a fright of his life when I pulled away on him hahaha
because commodores are cruiseliners
also marvel at my mighty cellphone photoshop skills

4th will make lower numbers, not bigger....
More speed, more friction, more losses, less power
Oh true so I don't really have 403.7hp ?
Measured power is entirely dependent on what dyno you run it on and how much drivetrain loss you have.
there will always be variations in dynos and variations between every cars drivetrain losses. that's why dynos should be used as a comparative tool to measure before and after figures. and if possible you should return to the same dyno each time you do a power run, so the data is directly comparable.
most dynos are pretty close these days though but every now and then you come across a shop which seems to read a good whack higher or lower than everywhere else. so comparing two different cars dyno'd on two different dynos is like comparing apples and oranges

What he said pretty much. The differences that you're talking in most cases are only a couple of percent (apart from those weird ones) and if the dyno is maintained it should be calibrated regularly so it's correct. The most we ever had was 3% error and it was admittedly overdue at that time. If yours read 3% high you'd struggle to notice the difference between it and a car that did make 403.7.
Unfortunately, peak power is the number everyone looks at, what matters is the area under the curve for the rpm range you drive at. If your peak is 400hp at 6800rpm and is under 200hp til 5000rpm. With another car at 250+hp from 3000 onward topping out at say 350hp at 6000. It would likely be quicker for most road situations. But then with tight gearing, the peakier car may be quicker on a track. Maybe....
Area under the curve for the rev range you use is what matters for performance.
Then there is that some people like the feel of constant torque, some like bottom end torque, others like top end. Variety is one of the things that makes the world interesting.

It's funny I'm going for driveabilty as it's a daily. So when I build my motor it may only have 300-350kwatw (maybe more depending on the limits of two tdo4-13t's)but it will be well on song from 3k (maybe lower) with e85.
