Thats great power Phil, awesome package. Sounds like you've reached the limitations of the stock cams!!
Woz

Nice mate.

Are you going to retain the stock exhaust cam?

BD16+ inlet?

UH OH

On the Sunny Coast but good to know about live mappers for Cossies. Best let this thread get back on track.

But was it stock with 150000+kms on the clock[(#)]

What needs to be considered here is that Phil is trying to get to get the maximum possible area under the curve, which involves keeping the boost threshold to the minimum RPM with max torque at the lowest possible RPM and still achieving the desired output. The actual figure is just a number to reach (as set by him). There are plenty of things that can be done to get that number quickly, but not with the desired curve. All of these expectations are set by the owner. Much discussion has been done between us and others. We have very similar expectations; it is going to be most interesting to see the 2wd v 4wd manifold for torque, boost threshold and peak power. If interested, just hold on a few months and we will see how things pan out in the end. We wish Phil all the best with the rebuild. Knowing Phil, it will be totally mental.[%]

It's ok I'm just egging him on. I think he got that. I'm sure he will get the numbers easy. But theres no harm in having a bit of fun egging him on till them

I know Allan[;^)]Be assured Phil has never needed motivation, each week there is some new contraption, part or brake upgrade going on.

Must have been off boost[:p][;^)]
