there's no dynosheet for this car. we have only driftbox data (520hp - not rwhp).
Thanks for the input,

Can you share the acceleration times?

They build such a motor and they don't dyno
So where did this "concrete" 520 bhp number come from? a drift box?

Because in the end, it doesn't really matter. The joy you get from driving it is unchanged whether its 450 or 550 hp.

Do not disagree with the joy of driving ... but ...
God knows how much stupid money we spend on our motorsport passion. That said, one would like to know the "ole bang for the buck".

But unless you strap it to an engine dyno (before and after conversion) calibrated like the Porsche ones you never really know what your torque curve looks like compared to stock do you

That Peak outfit look very competent, is somewhat strange they don't have some sort of dyno facility to tie all the nice bits together.....

Hi everyone,

You guys are very right about the dyno issue.. To see the actual gains while tuning an engine, dyno is a must. Peak's owner always asking me to strap my cars to their engine dyno where is 500ft far from their mechanic shop and I everytime refuse him.. I know you will be laughing at me (Serdar everytime does) but I do not have the heart to dyno my road cars. Again I know it seems completely pointless to everyone here but my belief is, drivetrain and also engine internals can be damaged while measuring the power. But if it is my Cup Car, it is no important, I ll probably be crashing it or braking the engine on the weekend anyway Now it is the time for laughing your ***es off.. because you guys are completely right..

Cheers,

Surely after all those tasty modifications the engines are more than just "road engines" and will surely come to little harm by being broken in, tuned and a few full power pulls ?
Anyway your choice and an interesting one for sure

Rangers' awesome 4.2L pics..

Dry build pics to follow.
if this is a hijack, let me know or just move to new thread, but I figure these 2 builds are interesting to review.
