Dyno results with Mod list and an apology

Crank figures can never really be trusted. With those calcualtions i`d running be running about 210HP@crank, and I have even more transmission loss having a LSD.
The kents seem to hold the power well at high revs, DBull suggested a higher rev limit (7500 would do ) so you can hold the gear longer....change and be at a perfect rev for max power.
A 1/4 mile run is a good indication of power, especially your terminal speed.

You're misunderstanding transmission losses. They are frictional losses from gears, bearing, brakes, tyres etc and you're thinking of the clutch slipping.
yeh i know but all the same an uprated cluch will still grip and transfer power better than a standard one any day of the week. Maybe an uprated gearbox would make a diferance,as it is pretty obvious on here people dont mind spendin big money on their cars to improve them and all credit due as, if i had a gti or the money to do so i would .
Well done lads keep up the good work the motors are sweet!!
lol mate u dont sound like a prick, to be honest it could quite possibly be that, will get a service done new gasket cos its leaking a bit and a new clutch cable. see how things go from there.
id like a quaife gear box, but thats like totally unrealistic, do u have any idea how much they cost?
need to be sponsored to have something like that done.

if that were the case they wouldnt make uprated cluches atall!!!!markbuts3 said:

omg cant believe you just called mark a muppet.
Whats the point in uprating the clutch if its not slipping, not slipping means no loss of power through the clutch connection.
Think about it, where do you see uprated clutches, increased powered cars where the extra clamping force is needed where a standard clutch would slip...

fair doos and my appologies to mark it was out of order for me to call him a muppet
It's still beneficial to have an uprated clutch even if it doesn't slip on full power when accelerating. Just because it doesn't slip at peak torque during acceleration it could slip when you're changing gear at high revs and get on the power too quickly...this is where the increased torque capacity would help.
And if your torque causes slipping when not changing gear then you'd obviously need an uprated clutch.
I said it wouldn't make a difference in regards to the power shown on the the dyno as it's not slipping there, and in response to the point about the transmission losses
If it's just started slipping, have you checked the cable adjustment ??
