After more power from a Boosted 355

[skyracer]

Why are you after more power? You have already said it accelerates hard, it has plenty of torque, who cares how much "power" you make?

Because it makes me happy. I don't care how much power it makes or how much I can show off my power figures to my mates. It's a hobby that I enjoy doing and enjoy learning about constantly like I am now from all you smart and knowledgeable people.

I lost my mum to cancer last sept. That I lived with for 22 years. My pride and joy that sits in my drive way is just about the only thing in this world that still puts a smile on my face.

That's why.

I wasn't being a smart arse, I was just saying that you have a fast car by the sounds of it, a power figure is just a number, the way it drives is a true indication of how much go it has.

I would be getting a second dyno run done if the number is important to you as that figure you have doesn't seem right for the amount of torque you have.

I lost my mum to cancer a few yeas ago too so I feel your pain.

Yeah I know man, sorry if I sounded a bit aggressive.

I will get this work done. See what the dyno says then I'll attend some dyno days and compare.

Sounds good.

i think your on the right path now with the manifold and other goodies, that should definately open it up alot more. then maybe a new set of pipes....twin 2.5 down to the diff then a single 3" over and into a rear muff. hope it busts some balls man

Cam. springs, rockers, twin row timing set arrived today, manifold should be here tomorrow. Car is booked in on the 21st. Can't wait.
