The power curve was a bit wild. I haven't seen it, but it when I was told the conversation was like this. (Doug Pearce has been doing the build and I couldn't be happier with the completed job, I was chief parts procurer)
'DP : cars ready. it's had it's final tune. (we talked about a few other things as well, but this was the pertinent points)
Me: how was the HP
DP : it had 417
Me : So, that would be at the wheels. 417 HP is pretty good.
DP : No, that was kW at the rear wheels!.
Me : Oh, that's a bit.'
Driving it back from Lilydale this afternoon, I put my foot down and accelerated like 'oh crap' then I realised I didn't have my foot to the floor, so I gave it a bit more and it's quite astonishing the amount of go it has everywhere. It has live pipes and it can actually be quite quiet when in 5th just tootling along, then you give it some stick and it sounds like a Harley, you know the loud ones that you sit there and wonder how come the fun police don't ping them for noise.
The supercharger was rated at 470kW and 750NM, so I would assume flywheel figures there. This is just a basic stock LS3 with a 1900cc charger on the top, there is a 2300cc one as well.
Brilliant. Photo's coming when I can put them up.
