Thanks

Im gonna maybe buy that spec, just wanted opinions, shame the exchage rate is falling, below 1.8$ to the £ now

Im gonna be running on Optimax or Super unleaded, both are about 98 RON and was looking at figures about 270bhp before i plan to go higher and add forged pistons.

Ive been tryng to work on compressor maps. at 8000rpm with a flow rate of about 22CFM based on araound 260bhp and a pressure ratio of 1.6.

Seems quite good, although im worried that if i make the boost at about 4000rpm (11CFM) im operating very close to teh surge limit of the compressor.

Cheers

How does this sound compared to what you guys are using?
