Guys, we just saw 496 hp @5000 rpm, with a LOT of hp still available!

You can only imagine what Dale and I are feeling at the moment!

My jaw is on the keyboard! :-o

Beck's dyno is known to read way to the high side.

Way to pi$$ on Buddy's party DW!! It is looking like somewhere considerably above 500 is going to be the answer.

Pull the handle and make some noise!!!!!

Absolutely GREAT line, Wayno!

And Rex is right , why rain on a guy's parade that's done one of the best build diaries on LandRacing ever, and came out to SoCal a while back and beat EVERY member of one of oldest SCTA clubs in a go-kart competition!

DW230 took a hiatus a while back, maybe it's time for another!

Knowing how many times Dan has teched a Beck car, I took. Dan's comment as a 'tongue in cheeck' thing!

Final numers tonight!

numbers are going up, pulled to 5500 and saw 529hp. still going up but we think 5500 is good for this vintage engine , however , we are changing top pulleys for another 4 or 5 lbs of boost. these guys did there homework and built a truly bad azz Cad.
If the numbers go up any farther they will equal DW's golf score at the 9 !!! He He ....bwahahahaha....

Hey - my estimate of 550 - 600 (I think it was) might not be so far off after all.  I guess you'd better give me an address so I can get the stickers in the mail to you.  Corngratulations, of course -- great results from a fine build.

Just going back through the build, you were looking for "north of 450".

487? 

I say "Bullseye".

Well done, guys.  :cheers:

Looking forward to additional reports.

Did I say "Bullseye?"

This is turniung into a hat trick!  :cheers:
