News or bragging, depends on what the content is
Lastest information on the final round of dyno days for Street Commodores dyno days.
Cars with Raptor kits have taken out the trophys in 3 states in the competition, only NSW and VIC didn't have winning Raptor pressurised cars.
As it stands for 2007 - Street Comms dyno days V6 forced induction classes.
Qld - Brisbane - Tuddles 187 rwkw (normally 215+) VS ute manual ProStreet kit (dyno reading incorrectly due to damage) Edited
SA - Adelaide - Slyder/Chargd6 219 rwkw VU ute auto ProStreet kit
WA - Perth - Hoff 216 rwkw VX sedan Auto ProStreet intercooled
Hoff normally can make around 230rwkw but installation of new valvetrain components only a couple of days prior to running in event provided some issues. Issues being valve train noise being detected by knock senors and computer reducing timing because it thought it was seeing detonation ....... which it wasn't.
So, all in all congratulations to our customers who confidently took their cars/utes and competed successfully. Being reliable and consistant is what gets them over the line even tho there are more powerful combos out there, in some instances particularly this last week I knew of turbo and highly supercharged V6s that could have showed and stolen the glory but engine failure just a few weeks/days prior to the event took them out.
