    good stuff, aslong as you dont think its real and go telling people you have a 143bhp vtr thats near standard. You dont want to look like a tit dude.

    Decent cammed 8v should see 120-130bhp

    That is a bloody fast VTR!!!!!

    It's impossible to accurately say what power you are transmitting through the wheels as you measure it at the fly on a power run then the negative inertia/drag on decelleration is converted to give you your true power at the wheels.

    I'd say your VTR is currently running no more than 108bhp at the fly

    What were you timing your 0-60 runs with? My Mk1 VTR is just over 100 bhp and is mid to high 8s to 60, that's with 4 branch, system, induction kit and a lightly worked head.

    Plus, you only need VTS power for around 7s to 60, which is what, 120 bhp?

    Your vtr will prob only have around 80hp at wheels if not maybe just under that..
