maybe he didnt push it hard enough lol, i did say to him i dont want the high numbers just be able to drive properly with it.
also the stock pump, rail and injectors maybe put him off pushing it to max
only guessign here as i dont know what the hell was happening there as i wasnt there when it was done.

Hmm just checked my Dyno dynamics shootout from a while back and it was done in 4th gear and it indicated near 180 km/h (~7,300 rpm??) when he backed off. Something doesn't seem right with their setup?

I wouldn't be concerned about the dyno, its most likely just a misprint.
How's the motor coming and who's doing it?

yeah man would have already done that if i didnt sell the Bored out rail and 550 supras earlier... stupid move that was.
car def needs more boost its running off wastegate pressure atm and slowly boost creeps up to 13 or 14
normal just get 11ish. once the boost controller goes in it will hit boost a bit more faster so that should be good.
im just happy to drive it around now.
sounds really awsome.
