    Me to Joanna. There is no need to take a car to the rev limit on the rollers, as it wont be making power at this point!! The dyno operator should be watching the live graph/ listening for det(det cans) and let off when they can see the power dropping. Ive seen many a good operator ie Jim at Star who I've seen refuse to run a car if he can hear det. Sadly if the RR day is at where your video was taken I will come to watch but can honeslty say they won't be getting to run ,never mind touch my car!!

    Stoney, did they have a huge fan blowing at high speed onto the front of your car during that RR run?

    That's cool. You can't see them in the video, so I was wondering how they were getting so much air through the engine.

    That exhaust blow didn't look healthy.
