   Standerd weight is around 935 kg? ( varys from site to site aparently)
   Standerd Bhp is around 120
   
   So Power to weight is about 130bhp
   
   well my vts has newman ph3 camshafts,
   BMC DIA,
   Peco backbox ( wont make a difference to bhp but owell)
   and has had a remap
   
   also i have striped about 100kg out of the car so what bhp to weight ratio do you think im lookin at?

   Possibly 160 or a little bit more? Surely you could work it out more accurately yourself

   well i know its got the newmans phase3s in it and a really good map, dier when ur out of the revs but when u hit powerband you get a nice pulling powercurve rite up to 8k

   who set the rev limit to 8K? that not needed as the power would off drop off by then more than likly, also hydro followers will start to fail going to that sort of revs.
   
   like i said would say 140-145
