Okay, the suspense is killing me. How much torque and HP did the Knology wires
add and where ?

David:
I was there and saw the move in question. I did not think there was
anything but good race craft going on. I like and respect both Bob and
Brian immensely and it's my opinion this complaining fellow is totally
wrong. The Lime Rock event is open to later cars, and the Capri would be
perfectly ok. Additionally, it has a significant race history. Neither
Brian nor Bob would jeopardize their cars - they haven't got to prove
anything. I thought it was a great bit of racing.

I have a Dynojet 248C Chassis Dyno in my shop. The only wires that I
have seen to actually add HP & Torque on the Dyno are made by Nology.
Iam sure there must be others but these are the only ones I've seen that
work.

For all you night owls and VCR programmers the show will be rebroadcasted

Hello All,
Looking for rubber for a Formula ABARTH 2000 (pics at
www.mille-motori.com coming soon)
Car currently has Pirelli 175x50x13 slicks front and 265x40x13 rear. The
car will not see any competition this year, so learning the car is the
thing. The safety systems need upgrading and the power plant needs
rebuilding so looking for a forgiving tire that fits into an already
stressed budget.
Thanks,
Michael

I would like more information if available......
What were the baseline wires?
What kind of % increase HP & Torque are we discssuing?
Do you think this applies to high energy ignitions and conventional points
as well?
Was this at all RPM (more in steady state, more in acceleration) is the
increase most visible.
Did fuel mix (lean or rich matter)?
