Yeah, the reason I asked is.... I recently road in a 20B FD with a 74mm or 76mm turbo only boosting about 14psi and it was close to or a little over 700hp.. The same car @ 20psi will easily hit over 800hp..

My second question, even with the the posted 741Hp how in the hell are you putting the power/torque to the ground??

The car I road in is mini-tubbed with a HUGE tire (all under the fender).. When I say HUGE I am talking VIPER-ISH and with the power that 20B is making, it will still break that tire loose if you stomp on it....

Well, Gaby is famous for telling everyone his cars make less HP then they actually do.

But on a serious note it sounds like on one of the pulls the tires were slipping on the roller, that may account for the sub par numbers.
