surely not just me thats thinks this is gonna cause a stur again in the tuning world
"have been comparing the new engine to the one we used on the gumball, now as i'm sure porkie will testify the gumball engine was a monster which loved to rev and had no problems keeping up with the enzo but the new engine is mucho better. Looking at some figures it mostly makes the old engines power at 1000rpm less and using 4psi less boost. here's some examples of how much more torque and hp extra it makes at how much less boost...
rpm........how much more: torque.....hp...... how much less: boost
4000................................. 17.........9 ............................9
4500................................. 57 ........44 .........................7
5000................................. 83.........78 .........................4
5500................................. 29.........30 .........................12
5500................................. 90.........93 ..........................4
6000................................. 39.........62 ..........................8
6000................................. 91.........103 ........................4
7000................................. 52.........66 .........................4
should make for an interesting drive
