I've raced a ~40rwhp shifter kart at Roebling and must say that 700HP would scare the **** out of me down the front straight!

Gotham has two great tuners. George has been the person working exclusively on the car so he has tuned it. Steve is excellent and so is George.

Wouldn't know where I can buy a good turbo, would you?

Speaking of that, what are your thoughts on the spool up of the turbo? I would have thought it would spool quicker than indicated in the dyno, like more in the 3,500 RPM range. Not sure when George went WOT though.

Not sure. I'll be at Gotham over the next few weeks and will find out more then. Don't know how I'll get a dyno at 12 PSI though. The base spring is 14 PSI and with the way the e cutout is hooked up, the car automatically adjusts the boost, or at least this is how I understand it.

And I just spoke with George about trying to optimize the low end for more torque. Funny about our differing perspectives. Gotham wants to replace my current e cutout with one that doesn't rattle. The new one is due in any time and should be a simple swap out. Tentatively I'll be at Gotham the last week of this month for the final walk thru and test drive.

David-
Great numbers. I'm going through a similar 4 year ordeal with my 20b. But as you know, there are alway extenuating circumstances why things don't always work out time and money-wise. But I'm going to stay patient, and not flame any shop until we reach an end.

I was was wondering if your dyno pull was on pump gas or race fuel?
