Just preliminarily how's 402 ft/lb rear wheel torque sound
Best is that it's all there at 3000 rpm and sustains through 7000 rpm (only went to 7K on initial dyno).
We ain't finished yet.

Sounds like my old Subaru motor. It only made half that power, but it was a flat line making 200ft/lb of torque from 3200rpm to 6000rpm. Driving an engine like that is just dreamy.

Trust me the wait is k!lling me.
Things are happening but the devil's in the final details. The tuning has been on going creating several maps.
The numbers so far are encouraging
It's happening.

Thanks and that's funny but I'm an old man. The older I get the faster I was,
15-20 yrs ago I was fearless (win or bring back the steering wheel), now I worry about my boys, school/college, wife, home, investments, economy, oh yes a job.
We turn into a POS, so it seems.

Yep I know the feeling...I use to be fearless in everything...hence riding a motorcycle and losing my entire left leg..LOL But I wish I had video of how I use to drive an old Ford truck and my old Camaro and Vette around back in the early 80's...Tokyo Drift had nothing on me! LOL
I can't afford to wreck, I can't afford to take any big hits to my body and I can't afford to lose anymore body parts....oh and I hate hospitals.

Just amazing, great job to RSRanger and Champion.

Has champion run a rs 4.0 on the same dyno to compare? Im sure yours makes more power!

I have seen a average of 8-10% drivetrain loss with GT3 911's, so my conservative FWHP for those numbers are 525-535 HP!!
