It's a damn shame there's no manual transmission to hook up to the GN powerplant. I know it'd be ultimately slower, but I just like choosing when I shift.

Please teach me. nice numbers by the way. I wish my N/A was that fast.

When using a chassisdyno you get the rearwheel HP measured pretty exactly, then the guy who rolls it lets go of the gas and lets it freewheel to a stop, in that sequence the dyno calculayes flywheel hp.
How I dont know but im thinking friction or something like that.

Ohh and thanks
