No nos, just a VR4 engine with a GT2876 turbo.

Oh ok, standard engine or stronger internals. Thats the fastest FTO ive seen.

just finished building it with Carrillo Rods and JE pistons, ported head

That was its first run out and its only running 1.4 bar (20psi) at the moment.

VERY NICE, what psi do you think she will hold.

I want to run about 30psi but that may be on the limit of the turbo I have so may need to change turbos.

I think for a stock tip GPX then 88MPH is about right resulting in approx 16s pass. Good to see you giving it a go...

Wow.... thats an awesome result mate... Still in FWD??? If so, that is very impressive!...

If you dont mind could you send me a PM of the gear you're using? Apart from power stuff...

(i.e. suspension, tyres, cooling, Gearbox, etc etc)

Though i dare say that i'll be AWD before i get my power figures up close to yours...
