We have the car back from Forged. Sharif tuned it to just over 440whp at around 8 PSI (waste gate pressure) on 100 octane . The 20gs would have easily put down over 500, but we only wanted to add 150whp max to the chassis. The car is going to be pounded on WOT most of its life. Rather than the occasional hard pull on the street. I'm certain Sharif has a very conservative map on the car, He has detailed the tune in another thread.. It was however very apparent of the HP potential of this kit.
I was able to drive the car some in my neighborhood. My first impressions "HOLY $#!+ BALLS" !!!! This car is so light, with the JRZs still set for NA and the new solid bushings... the 305 R888s where no match. Boost comes very quick, the waste gates open almost immediately... then things get interesting! With the open dumps and no sound deadening you can't here the race rubber screaming for mercy as the first 3 gear click away as fast as you can shift them. I made a few hard pulls and put the car away, as it is VERY loud. I will have a lot more details after some hard track testing this weekend.
Here are a few pics also new splitter and 335s (Camera Phone)
