    BHP guess??

    Not had my car on rollers yet. But was just wondering what kind of BHP I'm getting. Running 18 psi on a t25 tomcat. Feels pretty rapid and it fuels at 11.6 on W.O.T

    Well I don't know how the ignition is timed. I'm sure there is more boost in it. Need to put higher octane fuel in and see where it takes me at 20-22 psi.

    Just read your engine spec on your profile, see you got a 285 cam in there i recon might push bit more than 160bhp at 18psi

    Having driven you car, I would have said 160/180 hp.

    We need to check the ignition timing and try again with high octane fuel. It was pinking at 22lb with 95Ron.

    I think a mid 13 is a good goal to set yourself
