I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Well I have just been here...


And made this...


It was wheel spinning like mad, even with two of us in it and two sat on the wings lol.



looking at this a bit more simon , that appears to be 14.27 MPH PER 1000 RPM so either they tested it in 3rd , or you don't have a 3.2 diff in there ?

also at a 14.26 mph/1000rpm , then 108 mph works out to 7500 rpm ,so no wonder you were hitting the rev limiter .

I think you might find you have a 3.94 in there , or maybe a 3.76.

this would also explain why it wheelspun so much on the dyno , and why its hard to get off the line on the boost.

im surprised no one at the dyno noticed how slowly it was going .


Robert.



edit to correct wrong wheel di in the calcs , for some reason I thought the 10" were 60 profile.

ahh ,that would explain it I guess .would be very unusual though , so were you crossing the line at the pod in 3rd ? that would be roughly 105 mph at 7500 with a 3.2 diff.

with a lsd diff best way to check would be to jack it up .put it in 4th...rotate the crank until the wheels had done a full rotation ,and see how many times the crank goes round .that number of rotations would be your diff ratio .


not really sure if that would work with an atb or not !*smiley*
