Not sure I believe the quoted power figures. I'm sure someone can do the math but with only 7psi I'm not feeling the love. Interesting project. 

 

One that was built some years back at PR Technology in Brookvale was Ian Murray's Black beauty that was widened and fitted with a GT3 motor. Amazing build quality. Not for the budget conscious.

Good point. Numbers are kinda irrelevant , what matters if anything is its performance under the stress of some sort of competition.

Agreed507kW at the wheels @ 7 psi sounds optimistic. Either there is more boost or less power than quoted I reckon.
