Seen the vid to accompany that? Car seems pretty damn mean. Love the random sideways at 100k's under acceleration... :wub:

you'd expect a decent aftermarket ECU to be used to get 427hp, so one would assume a knock sensor would be installed (for those bad fuel nightmares), and one would have most certainly been used during tuning (if not, audible detection equipment would have been used ie. a stethoscope).

But if it is tuned anything like most of the nuttie scandinavian HP monsters, it will be running so rich (bellowing black smoke) there would be no chance of detonation!!!

That is mental - right hand drive also. Must be some SERIOUS work on that motor.

Forgies (maybe rods too), Booooost & Fuel would be my guess.

Maybe a bit of head work.

Booooost & Fuel

yeah probably mostly that -

it doesn't smoke like the crazy scandinavian beasts though. It could be properly tuned heh.

I presume it is because they don't have the facilities too!!

So they are prolly all road tuned (butt dyno), and rich = safe in most cases!!
