But we have to take gearing into account

The left behind driver wants rematch. Both cars start in 3rd at cruising speed. Mark probably gets left behind.

Mark wants rematch. 4th gear at crusing. ??????

Assuming Mark likes to play, he won't get caught with his pants down.

I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE 650 WHP@ 1 BAR ( TURBO, SORRY SC GUY'S)
The S4 engine would be the perfect candidate and is a hell of a motor !

We know of a fellow that intends to do such a thing. Twin Turbo. You should chat with Herr Kuhn.

Ok james ,

Marks is in 5th and punches it and i down shift to 3 rd and put 7 cars on him ,
what;s the point ? that the v8 torque is good , of course and that is what v8 guy's like , does not make for a faster car just one that you like. We are straying here !

Just a thought to say that i believe that the S4 potential is untapped.

Let's assume a 3.0 911SC with 182chp (154.7rwhp) stock.
At 1 Bar = 14.5037738 psi, we are looking at 15-20 CHP per pound of boost. That's between 217.56 and 290.075 CHP added per each 1 bar of boost. Not sure what 911SC losses are, but let's assume 15%. So at 1 Bar we've got between 184.88 RWHP and 246.56 RWHP gained by boost. Add them to stock (154.7rwhp) and you get:

154.7 + 184.88 = 339.58 RWHP min and
154.7 + 246.56 = 401.26 RWHP max

Is my math wrong? There's a good chance it is

1.4 bar??????? WOOOOOOW That's a lot of boost. How can you guarantee longevity with that kind of pressure? A +700hp motor that can last a long time will cost some serious coin to build.

A.Wayne....

Sounds to me like you are setting up the Rennlist "Shark Crowd" to sell us some of your engine management electronics to better "tap" the potential of the V8's! If that is the case and you are developing something we could use - GET R DONE! And - tell us more!

Nonetheless - if you're gonna "hawk your wares" here, it would be nice if you were at LEAST a paying R'list member - or - better still - a Sponsor!

(A word of advice....before the Admins catch it and slap your hands- you need to remove the link to your commercial website in your sig!)

More torque does make your car faster. horsepower = torque X rpm/5252

OK below are revised numbers then for a 964 turbo II, the hottest 911 3.3 turbo out there (stock):

We have built quite a few 911Tubos, including TT and your 458 rwhp single turbo at 7 psi is quite a bit higher that anything I have ever seen! Seems way out of line .... why the big difference? Wath was the engines hp in a NA form? HAd to be over 300 rwhp or over 100 hp per liter NA.

And a 964 is not CIS stock either. CIS cars made literally 100's of horses less than that. Wayne i want to believe you but the math seems not to bear it out, can you assist?

It shouldn't be controversial. It's basic physics.
