were back LOL throttle body zs

[Eddie]

I run mid to high 12 second quarters at 110mph with 300bhp @fly and 250 ft/lbs.
What did you run with the 109mph terminal?
I was itching to see the VAG ZS run at POD, I know the geo was set-up for track but it would have still run a quick time.

Oh, and hope you enjoy the car Steve.

60ft was 2.3 power was tricky to get down but its not as fast as you think

What did you run my blue 180 at pod Ross...? About the same time wasn't it...?

109 is not quite what i would have expected , having out dragged supercars on track that would deffinitely pull more than 109 mph, then it doesnt really make sense.
However the condition of engine and car when you ran it was different to when i had it, i pamperd it like a baby , since then i have heard its been rather abused.
However i wouldn't call an M3 slow ?....and georges M3 pulled 101 mph at pod so 109 would be quite a crushing defeat for what is rated as one of the best sporting road cars ever made!
I actually think your 60ft time at pod was good for the car ross, if it was set up anything like i had it, then launching was impossible, everything about the car was compromising its ability to get away quickly, and when you are trying to pull a time at pod the launch is everything.
Ive known kev make a 1.9 60ft on normal road tyres, and with that top speed it is deffinitely a car with a high enough power to weight to pull a high 12 second run.........however i doubt anyone could ever do it without changing lots and lots of things on the car.
Its like ive always said then, an extra 10 bhp equates to about 1mph extra on your terminal speed, in which case steves car should pull a top speed over 100 mph and i dont see it tbh. Mine and daves both pulled 99 mph top speed with 210 bhp, so with another 25 bhp steves should go over 100 mph.......and i hope it does !.

that all going to be in the launch though, its not got anything below 4k so getting off the line well will be everything.

Hi Ross

I know you can drive a car on the strip
We've raced a few times and I've watched you run many times, the terminal was about right for a car with 300-ish bhp.
The 60 ft is pretty poor compared to what I've seen you nail in a ZS but as Dave said the car was set-up for corners in mind.
Would like to spend a day with this car at POD and try some of my tyres and play with the set-up and see what it could do.

Anyway, not to nick the thread but last question have you run the S2K down the srip yet?

I don't think George's ability / engineering was the problem his business ethics
We're a different matter completely!

So the throttle bode gives less than 30 bhp if you factor in the new ecu and larger injectors!! Would that be about 10 - 15 bhp for the throttle body then? Still a worthwhile mod imo!!
