360 fly was the result of today's mapping 20 hp UP on the last car and with less toys!

Roll on a bigger TB later in the year!

^^^So, approximately 320 RWHP? Nice. Very appealing, and NA reliability . So, what's your power goal again? 360 RW??

305 hubs, yep it drives a dream, might get it out for a little run later

Power goal, erm well I was hoping for 375 so not far off really as we think that will be hit with the TB change to a single 90mm one.

After that to get any more is going to involve a strip down to clearence, lighten and balance, swap to high comp rotors and maybe re make the whole intake that would then crack 425 easy I think!

Did you crack the fat iron? How did you repair it? Was the motor already cracked? It leaked oil with external oiling and solid dowel pins?

I didn't crack it, was already like that but not as bad so didn't get spotted.

It was drilled out and sleeved, we have also run solid dowel pins that have been 'o' ringed to make sure it won't leak again.

Great numbers. I'm excited to see what I make w/ 9.7 rotors, half bridge, and 55mm ITBs. I was a little worried I may hit sub 300, but these results are a nice assurance.

This is a great build. Too bad the FD didn't come with a 3 rotor. Would have been cool and more reliable.

Should have plenty!

I'd say 425-450 fly

Nice build.
Great sound!

Not sure if I missed it but what did you have to do to the oil pan for clearance w/ subframe?
