Dont want to get flamed by putting up power figures :lol: :lol:

Last time i had it dynoed after it was supercharged, but on the factory computer, it made ###kw at the back wheels...........

Today it made 90kw more :mrgreen:

And it was well over 200kw.........

as expected the m90 was the limiting factor, but not by much, only loosing 1.5lbs by the limiter

:mrgreen:

Took the hilux for a fang today, wow... Crazy the difference it's made, power comes on real aggressive and it just goes nuts all the way to the limiter, hook the next gear and its the same again. Can't wait to try it in low range at the club champs at the weekend, should be nuts :mrgreen:

Holly crap, you weren't wrong about the stump attacking it. I had to watch it a few times - it just looks wrong.
