"No need to if you start below 100 km/h.
If you start at 60 and still don't have full boost at 100 something is seriously wrong "

I agree, but with brake boosting you have full boost.....AT 60

Most engines in "max street tune" give up at about 32 psi on pump,depends on the efficiency of the engine though...with super rich AFR (10.2:1) we've seen 2.81 bar boost on our Mitsu3000...but as soon as the AFR became more normal it could not take more than 32.3 psi before knocking ....Looooong camshafts and low compression?...just unhook the wastegate line.

Skunk, how much boost have you been able to run on a stock 951 (except turbo) on pump gas? Comparing the 951 to other cars is not a good comparison. I assume that Euro 98oct pump is same as US 93oct. pump.

"Tommy please tell us about your engine"

Last time I got called out, I gave a brief explanation about my history with 944 turbos; but I got banned by Tedwright; and he even erased the entire post (which I put alot of effort in), probably because he didn't like the negative remark I made towards him.

how about 3rd gear 3000rpm -6400rpm timed both directions same road average of two runs. I have an audi and on audiworld.com this is some thing people do, there is a record of peoples times. it is a very good system for comparing the same model car.

OHHHHH

Hey. How about this. Its called the Texas mile. You get a one mile run to see how fast you can get going.

http://www.texasmile.com/200automobiles.asp

Now, who has a 951 that can break the magic 200mph mark?

I think this is a true measure of power. For the weeenie who keep claiming all this high speed acceleration crap that they spew forth from internet legend go look. See how many 200+mph vehicles there are.

http://www.texasmile.com/March2005.asp

Yes. There ARE a 951s in this. They managed around the 150mph mark in a one mile run.

Of coarse this isn't internet rumor racing so it can't be true results.

Dead on , there are plenty of guys on this forum who hardly break into the 13's in the 1/4 with poor trap speeds because " the 951 was not made for drag racing " , but then show "video proof" how they " rape and kill" some unsuspecting grandpa in a ZO6 , Sc Cobra , M5 etc(with considerable better time/trapspeeds then there modified car) with the good ol' K26/6 on public streets and so feeding the myth that the car develop some kind of after burner past 100 mph.

Intardnet bench racing here we come.

Please link to these threads as I would love to see this. Can't remember seeing any threads like this, but I've only been here a few years.

Yep, in several "rollon" 40,60+ runs I have beaten or at least hung with cars/bikes that, off the line, would kill me.

Actually, just last week on the local turnpike(speed limit 75 wide open, no traffic) , with my wife as a witness, had a bike, 750, didn't catch the make, sitting in my blind spot for a bit and then he dropped on the tank and crouched so I dropped into 4th and hit it. He NEVER got ahead of my door. Let off about 120 and he lifted up, gave a thumbs up and went on.

I think it was posted in the past that our 60-100 times are close with cars like ZO6, Ferrari, Vipers, etc.
