I might be a little off on these numbers, but he was making 479rwhp at either 4 or 5psi, and says it can be turned up to "high boost" at about 8psi I think. He thought the car would make 520 on that setting, yet I've NEVER known him to run it at that setting.
The FRC's do weigh less than 3100lbs, but the TT setup is going to add weight to the car. How much? I have no idea....but it's probably heavier than 3100lbs unloaded. Also, I know this guy doesn't brake boost.
That being said, I'm still amazed he lost....but I've also never seen the car run. I've seen guys claim they made whatever horsepower numbers, then get out on the highway and not run anywhere near how they should.
I'm pretty sure he's not on this site, kinda sucks not to get his side of the story.
