Re: your car on the dyno

what do you mean it get 7.3 in the quarter mile, are you saying your car goes 7.30s in the 1/4 mile if so i think its wrong, maybe you ment 1/8 mile even thats pretty fast

Don't know, don't really care. Although it does get up on boost pretty quick while on the dyno.

Re: your car on the dyno

also 147mph on a dyno isnt the same as real life top speed, there is no aerodynamics and the dyno is most likely no 100% load bearing.
