I have the dyno the car put 300 lbs torque to the wheels, and with a 15% power loss factor it was at 263 or so at the crank a little better than stock.Best run no heat soak. I changed the chip from the diablo to an SET, the mustang shop I use had more experience with this chip. The diablo is fine. We just fine tuned the engine, changed the plugs,filters,synthic oil, etc. That is the most it will do without taking it apart or changing stuff.

The suspension was setup all wrong, too much caster, camber outside of spec. I had my car setup by a HSR porsche shop, we went thur the suspension and check it all out. The upper arms are supposed to be parrell with the frame they where way off, the set bolts for the arms were taken out and the geometry was done by a regular shop not clue. I ran the car with slicks and the car handled great.

The lotus did kick my ars later, that was the 4 track session and I was still not up to par in the car. The gas pedal kept moving to the right and my foot was getting stuck under it for blipin the gas on h-n-t downshifts and my braking was not that good.

I have a lotus too, tracked it for 3 years, wanted a race car, the lotus if great but it is small and fragile.
