Dyno run from me, peak power at 5,700 with 339.0 rwhp. For drags, i got my best times shifting at 7,100 The best thing about these motors is that power only slightly tapers off as you appproach redline at 7,000 rpms was 318 RWhp
and at 7,100 is was 313.

Which is why this car continues to pull and pull :eek: :cheers: :smash:
