It overloaded the dyno?!


Also, is that a wood valve cover and a pool cue propping the hood open?

Vic specializes in E36's - so I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

He was *****ing online about having to build a wastegate that would take 35psi

Is it a built M50 block or S50 and where do you get that kind of intake manifold?

I found out a little more; The owner's name is Dave Tran
http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1484014
The car is pretty out of control - 899whp and 723wtq on a DynoPack 4000 at only 32psi
When the car overboosted to 40psi it shut down the DynoPack. Had to use 4th gear and only Rev to 7000k instead of 8k. That 40psi pull was easily over 1000whp
Does 9's in the quarter.

Guessing the intake manifold is from Hogan

WOW! I think being able to shut down a dyno due to exsessive power is pretty much the coolest thing anyone can say... Perma bragging points for that.


I wish there were some videos of it on the track or something!
