This 2.7L at 16 PSI made 441 RWHP, am I seeing right? The chart is a bit hard to read. Has anymore progress been made on this car at all? This car and the curve is just simply amazing. I can't even begin to imagine if he cranked up the boost a bit more too!

If we look at the 3liter that was dynoed at 20psi he got 449RWHP.
This car was dynoed at 440 RWHP at 16 psi does not add up? on 2.7 liter!

In the right hands, I wouldn't be surprised to see this car over 500whp on pump gas

Apples to apples, My 2.5 Liter seems to have more power under the curve. (owe it to the Turbo) it's the top end that beats me. 16psi seems kinda low for those numbers. (means 220-240 naturally aspirated horsepower?) .. I'm probably just jealous. But Pretty fantastic nonetheless. head porting and cam seem to have done their job! 7KRPM is nice. Flat tappet? Seems to be where I will be wanting to go next. More power, same psi. broader power band. - yep, I'm jealous.
Ahh. Different Cam probably gve a little up down low for the long broad top end. Hmmmmm.

So is there any update on the car at all? And over 500 RWHP on pump. Who could make this car do that, the infamous ST?

Has anyone talked with ST lately?

I dunno where he disappears to, but I need to get a hold of him.

I doubt it. The guy doing the mods is probably eating himself to death like pizza the hut in the movies "spaceballs".
