Eddie will become famous soon enough
Good results George/Steve,
I wouldn’t be disappointed with the lower torque, I think George said torque comes in earlier and holds longer, sure this will translate to good power delivery. Peak power is pretty much what the super charger offered in its basic form, 235hp is very respectable on the road and I would guess it comes with an instant throttle response, which is also something nice to have in the bag.
From the results it sounds as if the 270 cams have maxed out so with the additional porting and 285 cams this should take the car to the next level and make the very most of the induction box and ECU.
Let me know when or if you plan to run it at POD.

Thanks Ed.

Im sure Steve will just want to enjoy his car for a bit before wanting anymore.

To be honest, Im sure with over 230bhp without any lag, will be awesome, especially the roar.

I do have some 285`s sitting in a box, just pondering what to do with them.

Project Mg6 is consuming a lot of my time, so need to get that sorted first before i think about doing another KV6.

As the saying goes..........at the end of the day as long as you are happy with the results and effort put in then it is worth it. Some may bang on about the duration and costs but that sits with you and if happy then all's good

Good to see something different being explored with positive results, albeit a one off no doubt.................

Just spoke to Thor.

The peak torque figure @ fly is 192.7ftlb. Torque @ fly @ 6000rpm is 181ftlbs.

I'm waiting for graphs.

Power @ wheels is 196bhp !

well thats a tiny bit better but still doesn't add up, so we know nothing till we can see the graphs.
On the new figures you still only have 207 bhp max peak power at 6800.

How can thor tell you peak torque was 160 but after another phone call its suddenly 190...someone over at thor is either havin a giraffe or they're a biscuit short of the full pack.

Are you sure they have even mapped it , i reckon they're playing you off.
have you or steve actually been to test drive it and seen it finished ?

Get your a55 over there and kick up a stink is my advice.

From reading it I read the 160ftlb to be at the hubs which would give just over 190ftlb at the fly.
