Markus made about 500 rwhp @ 1.4 bar with a fully stock 968 head and cams. Basically stock 951 headers as well.

Mikael, how many kilometers have you put on your engine now?
Sorry I stole a pic of your front nose piece to illustrate a point in another thread. I'm hoping to have one made in the same style.

If I do some math I can see that I would have about 539 rwhp (612 engine hp) with 1.4 bar, same as Markus...
A good goal for me is to have 550 rwhp (625 engine hp) with E85, that with boost around 1.25 bar if I have calculated ok.

I have now changed to E85 fuel (160 lbs/h injectors). Today i did a testride. I can tell you there is a big difference. Meaner, stronger and faster. I have rised the ignition only 5 degrees as a start. I still run only 1 bar of boost.

Long time...
Yes, there has been some updates. I now have a Heigo roll cage. This winter (now) I will mount another Sparco seat and my 2, 6-p belts.
I did dyno 563 at the wheels last year wit 1,3 bar and with E85. Car is fast! Car works great but with high power there is some hot spots boiling issues. I will lift of my head now and modify the water channels to see if its possible to improve the heating. I dont have any real heat problems, just that it builds up air in the system.
I have modified the cooling system and have another water tank higher up and with another circulation than stock. That improved a lot. Maybe I can give you some pics when I am starting up in the garage.
I will be back!

Corleone, I always look forward to your updates. I remember you telling me of those suspected hot spots some time ago. Firstly how does this become apparent? Is it just your temp gauge increasing or is fluid leaking? Do you run an overflow tank/bottle for the expansion tank?
Have you been driving your car many kilometers in the last year?
Can you take some more video of the car and from inside while driving it so we can see and hear the beast in action? Did you ever take some 100-200 kmh times?

There's a clip on Youtube of his car but I can't find it. I'm sure there's some pics if you search.
