I'm just thinking (dreaming again) ahead to when I get my kit installed (and presuming it can provide adequate amounts of fuel)...
Currently the engine struggles below 2.2Krpm, while the turbo begins pulling @ 2.4K and is on-song at 2.8K right through to 4.2K. The redline is 4.8K. I've roughly timed 0-60 as being a warp factor of 11.98s 
1st gear is too short and struggles for traction as it is, so I plan on activating (non-progressive 30hp) for the whole of 2nd & 3rd gear which would take me up to 70mph. Does that sound ok or too risky? Would it be too stressful to use it in 4th (at any revs)? 5th must be a no-no?
Apart from something breaking, are there ways to tell how far you can push the engine? I've been told these XUD's can easily handle being tuned to 200hp without problems and Trev indicated it should withstand up to 150hp nitrous (progressively I assume) so just 30hp non-progressive shouldn't be much of a problem should it? |
