Yeah I got mine yesterday and read it thru.

Both Strelnieks and McKee are on this forum from time to time. Great drivers, great builders.

It's autocross, not drag racing.

mind you, those power number are at low boost

the 20B is making that power at only 11lbs, imagine what it would do at twice that.

Thanks for the article. What is sad, is that my poor 94 touring has to run SM2 since it had a '99 spec front bumper put on by a prior owner. If it wasn't for that, I'd take it back to one of the street touring classes. Oh well, my FD is still a much faster auto-x car than I am a driver.

Performance is not all about "power" as in HP.
Here is a link to the dyno plot:

http://www.7parts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12

This 20B is built for low end response a driveability with a small 0.96 turbine A/R, which you can't argue with after looking at the torque curve. True, the 476hp may be a bit low, but that was at the lift point of about 7200. We run the engine out to 8400rpm.

Thanks Stix37867 for posting the article.
