OK, final numbers!!! We made 39 peak horsepower after 4 runs on the dyno today. However, what is more impressive is the 54 lb-ft of torque we made on the same pass. This is in a 410 lb car. Wicked fast.
For comparison, our old car made 60 hp, 35 lb-ft torque, and weighed about 530 pounds.
Once we're done bodywork, that's it! We will be testing the car over the next few weeks and we leave for competition on June 24.
