What happened to Dan ( Forester STI ) ?
Down 67hp????
[/quote]
Dan thinks its because he's still running a top mount. He got 511lb of torque though!!!

He's running on the limit of the top mount and there was probably not enough air getting to the intercooler and across the fins as the nose of the foz is a lot higher than the impreza's. Extremely high charge temps would cause the low power figure (according to the more well educated than me) but he still saw better than expected torque figures

I don't know much about Forrester's and peak power V torque but if he made 511fltbs at 5000rpm "potentially" depending on gearing and the load he could make 486bhp..It not that straight forward a calculation but I think thats where peak torque is made? any one got any graphs?
I could not care less about bhp figures as they are just for bragging rights down the pub. Torque is where the party is at and with 511 of them that's going to be one hell of a party!!! Justto put it into perspective. A full blown WRC car has approx 300bhp but it has nearly 900 party baloons.
