Didn't Eddie Tassone from Active Automotive in Perth pull in the vacinity of 1200 - 1400 rwhp at the Summernats about 4 or 5 years ago using unleaded with his iron block 383 with twin turbs in his Commodore. I remember there was some fanfare about being a world record at the time on unleaded.

Ye and if it was the thing im thinking... it was a bung reading as a dyno sensor was 'broken'.

Although 800rwhp if your going to pick something like Sunoco, i reckon there would be something higher somewhere

An excerpt I found relating to the 16th Summernats:

All day Saturday and Sunday engines roared in the Horsepower Heroes Dyno Cell. On this Summernats stage, street-legal cars running pump gas are strapped into a caged dyno cell. With spectators stacked in the stands above, owners compete to find out who really has the most powerful machine.

Last year everyone was shocked when a Holden ute pushed the dials well beyond the 1,000hp mark and a rotary Mazda made 500 plus ponies in the new Sport Compact class. This year, three competitors in twin turbocharged V-8 GM Commodores came into Sunday morning's final with 1,100-plus horsepower. Eddie Tassone's gold 383-ci small-block powered Commodore eventually took the trophy with1,376 horsepower.

nah, it made 1700rwhp with a bung air temp sensor on dyno defaulting to 240deg c

actually makes a little over 1000rwhp on what i believe is pump fuel

yes, wich is 98ron premium unleaded (pump fuel). not a race unleaded, is this so?

ps. lois, where did you get the borg warner?

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
