I've held the dyno sheets in my had and torque was around 530..hp around 515...and that was low boost. But according to some I am a liar so oh well... Whatever it is, it is inarguable absurd and even ridiculous amount of power and mostly wasted effort. If anybody (else since I've done it and posted it before) bothered to do the math what reaches the rear wheel its good but not really that much more than a well done 2300 turbo with the normal gearbox (T5) and axle (4.4 or 4.56) that I encourage both of which cost several thousand dollar less than the Jerico box and Ford 9" set up he used. Its so much torque at the engine that he has gear the car higher than a road car to take the edge off, last I head using a 3.08 final drive. That said there is no arguing that Lane knows how to drive really well, a shame he makes "self made problems' which makes his job of driving and putting down power so much harder..

Damned shame that JVL is utterly unable to leave shit that isn't his business alone. JVL Do not continue to poke at me on that subject. It will not end well for you. I'm no hero as a driver... I've abused it and laughed myself silly doing so. Spectators enjoy this. Get it straight JVL.... It was 504lb/ft at 11lbs of boost at the wheels with an intercooler that made for a turbo that was audibly working harder than after giving it the Powerstroke I/C that made for ambient intake temps and much faster turbo response. Turning boost up to 15lbs really woke it up.... Cuz 500lb/ft at the rear wheels just wasn't enough. He who likes to believe that big power in rear drive is wasted effort hasn't been for a ride with me in the Volvo... With the Sellholm suspension package she just puts the power down... It's amazing how she accelerates on gravel... How she'll dance through turns... You'd think that the power would just get spun away.... Nope. The power is applied. Were I the hero as a driver I'd beat the field by a minute or more a stage.... Vance and I did that in the Geo  We took turns.
Final drive ratio is now 3.0 with ratios in the Jerico done just so to match. Damned shame that the Quarter master three disc clutch isn't up to the task since it got the bigger turbo. Clutch slips in third and fourth.... The car pulls harder than a certain modified MB S-65 I drove a while back that sported 900lb/ft. JohnLane Overkill is consistently more fun Edited 1 time(s).

Its exactly the same inverted 50mm Bilsteins as I sell but in a traditional fixed tube. Ya know where the tube is welded into the bottom forging that the spindle sticks out of.. Cost is more than double and a half, plus airfreight, plus customs plus brokerage charge.... enough to bankrupt a person... But paying double or triple is OK for the exact same things ....as Gene keeps saying not everybody is as broke ass as I am....

John, how can you say your stuff is exactly the same? It is not. Your stuff is a good value for your target audience and price point but it is not exactly the same as Sellholm. Sellholm uses much better bushings and seals and new Bilstein inserts, not used ones (or are you supplying new inserts now?) |

Hey Dave, YOU don't know what you are talking about... you're a good welder and you bend tubes and paint good but don't tell me aboout things you don't know about. For example : what is the height of the bushes in Sellhoms? What material? What is height in Bilsteins 50? What material? What seals? What makes them MUCH better? fuck i have no time for BS like this. WHO told me what material to use in mine?
