the 78mph redline in 3rd gear looks a little suspect as IIRC mine hits about 90 in 3rd so maybe a long way off lol
With 100 shot of nitrous exhaust and induction maybe 250 - 260 whp but not likely looking at the speedo etc

Nitrous is pointless IMO.

Unless you want to be a straightline merchant.

Taking into account a standard S is around 180-190WBHP, a tuned n/a S 205-210WBHP a 50BHP shot or 75BHP wont make it 310WBHP.

Theres a lot of cars that come into my mates with NOS, IMO its pretty crap only good for straightline performance for a short time frame.

But isn't a 50bhp shot actually about 25bhp?

Obviously due to the efficiency of the reaction you don't get all of the power available, but i'm not sure how they label these things?

ie is a 100bhp shot what you actually see?

A bit like ATF and ATW!

Also depends how hes got the dyno set up becuase it is able to calculate the figures to give a bhp at the crank instead of at the wheels which would give a higher reading (cheating really!)
