.82 ar seems small lol, I'm running a 1.01ar lol and i hit .8bar at 3k lol
a lot of people seem to be running billet wheels on turbo's now and it seems to make a pretty big difference...
my turbo is a journal bearing and was worried it might make a diff but roller bearings seem to cook to easy on rotaries... power is a funny thing, people can have 700+bhp and they have trouble getting below a 11 sec 1/4 then someone with 500bhp and crack a low 10! i have seen 400bhp cars hit a 10 and they weren't light cars, its all on how the power is transferred to the road i guess...
in no way was i saying your achievements were crap etc... an engine could produce 500bhp at the fly... however if it loses 30% of that power through a drive train then its not actually putting that power to the wheels! personally I'm more impressed with 370bhp at the wheels than the 430 at the fly... but customers will prefer the 430 figure lol...
and still the point is the fly figure is a guestimated one, its not an actual figure unless you take the engine out and dyno it... there are so many variables like tyres gearbox, diff, drag on tyres etc... once again i am not disrespecting you or you're achievements its just how i prefer to look at it!
scooby owners will say they are running 400bhp at the fly but in reality the car isn't putting that power to the wheels as the drivetrain saps a s**t load of that power... so yeh a fly figure is a good bragging figure, however put a 400bhp at the fly car against a 370bhp at the wheels car and the 370bhp at the wheels car will show the 400 at the fly car its ass...
as for the 172 comment, just to piss that guy off more its not 172 bhp lol its 172ps... which is lower than bhp
