Silver: I've been over this in another thread. John right from the beginning has said that 300 to 330 RWHP is what to expect from his Stage III Turbo on pump gas. Most of the higher RWHP numbers are done with other things involved (big valve heads, higher boost, race fuels, etc.)

Especially this group. I was just told by a friend that it was a good thing that I didn't stop. He said that if I did they would have just ignored me. He has tried to talk with them before and that was what happened to him. Apparently they feel that they are above the rest of us.

Soloracer- Let me know if you are up in Edmonton with that thing, I'd like to come check it out.

Nice purchase Solo, I always wanted to run my car against it.

pk951

Can we see more pictures of that car very nice ride. Wasn't there a thread a a couple of months ago, somebody was selling it. I guess you bought it congratulations.

SoloRacer

Thanks Joe! I would like to run against you too. Guess I'll have to make a road trip sometime. What kind of wager could we make? I'll wager the services of my company for the services of yours.....*lol*

Here is another picture I have. I also have a really interesting picture that I will post later tonight.

Isn't that the car with the funky intercooler setup, like in the engine bay, or something.
Geez, that car has been around for awhile. Where has it been? How many miles on her?
Was it a 3.0L 16V? (sorry if that's been said already)

What? At 4psi?

Techno Duck

We need more pictures and scans of the Excellence article. That car looks awsome!

SoloRacer

Uhhh, no ...... more like 15 psi smart guy. My 300 RWHP dyno sheet with my Vitesse Stage III equates to roughly 350 flywheel horsepower which is very similar to a C5 Corvette. Even John says not to expect more than 300-330 RWHP from Stage III. I've done a roll on with a C5 with my Vitesse Stage III and we were dead even up to 150 mph. And don't reply with "there must be something wrong with your car" because there isn't. Fast951 himself says 300 to 330 rwhp at 15 psi. Do me a favor and go troll elsewhere.

The intercooler is ducted via the front two scoops. There are fans that run continuosly while to car is on. The car was built sometime between 1995 and 1999. The odometer says 6000 km but I know that that entire gauge cluster was replaced to convert it to canadian standards so I don't know what the actual miles are. Either way it can't be very much based upon the condition of the car and the fact that it still has the original tires from 1999 on it. Yes it's a 3.0 16V.

Maybe I missread his post.... but it seemed to me that he was complementing the VR setup. I.E. saying that it works so well you would only need 4psi to beat a C5 Vette.

Yeah I got that impression as well. I think Solo misunderstood. I also think its funny that some people were thinking he was pulling on a Diable with just a Vitesse Stage III. I guess Vitesse products are now at mythological status.

+1 that sounds about right. I can do it at about 10psi, but I have a severe weight advantage on most people.

Didnt know you bought the Kelly Moss 968, congrats! Now more photos!
