Dyno says 410 hp, I calculate that as around 350 kw front, so maybe say 290kw rear, never sure about these figures. Have the dyno report, etc but Supercharger seems the next obvious step, but, thats 3 years down the road. Must admit, If it came to a liver transplant or the supercharger, probably go the supercharger, and have a lot of fun - lol. The Super car injectors would be nice as well, but basically same price as the supercharger, and the toque dosn't hit till far higher up in the range. Guess it depends, want it off the line, or at constant RPM. Being and SS, it would take a major brake upgrade, etc, for track use.

Not a scrub so far, but lets see how the springs compress - one of my worries, didn't go the lowest sapring size for just that, want to keep it all approved

The funniest thing, best mod, was removing the crappy centre speaker, just disconnected it, and the sound system, now actually sounds like an ok sound system. Man, I am so gratefull to the forum for just that

Nice car mate, I put a Rockford in the centre. Sounds much better.

No chance of scrubbing with those wheels until you lower it another 60mm looks good by the way haven't seen the grill done silver on a black car before but it does suit very well.

After having to tone down the stereo, just being able to actually turn it up was enough for me. Tell me bout the Rockford - did it improve the quality ? I always thought the centre speaker was supposed to be a woofer, but looking at it, I think it was actually designed to be a centre speaker for a 5.1 Dolby application, for a built in DVD, etc, certainly no Subwoofer. One bad piece of design.

Cheers
