Default Orange C5 Supercharged
Pictures coming asap (same pictures are in C5 Tech but better to move it here). Some heavy mod`s last two years. What I only need is new bigger brakes. I think that`s all for now after that....

I think you could have done 189mph if you had bsm's on your car.

Nice Job!

In April I take new dyno run, because I have installed Methanol system and "new tune" to 16 degrees (before it was 12 degrees) and no knocking problem`s. Car is running fine all the way.

They say that you gain 10rwhp on a boosted car for each degree of timing.

So your timing gain alone is 40rwhp, not going into the fuel aspect.

Last year in dyno run, 1 degree=45hp change in engine!! 12 degree=644hp, 11 degree=599hp engine power was the result (or was it 13 and 12)

So interesting to see the new result. Maybe the final result is 700 (or not). Who know`s...

But that 1 degree change and 45hp is much in last dyno run. I don`t believe that final result is calculated that way. No way!
