woah hold on a second...you say your friend is putting down around 240-260bhp and then you say "a little bit more than my 140bhp" ...thats pretty much stock! are those the actual figures that your engine is producing???

Something is amiss if he's smoking Monaros with his car. My guess is the conversion factor (the hp conversion will mean he has lower numbers prior to conversion to US hp)and perhaps him mistaking whp or bhp could be to blame?

Love the car, the country, and the people. What track is that. It's a real nice looking facility with that banked uphill left hander. Probably a challenge to carry speed out of. I also have a diamondschwarz 318is. I think the color is a natural. I have been surfing Delco engine management and Kalmaker software on several Australian sites. I had no idea anyone was using it in that fashion. Interesting.

Guys, factory is 136-9bhp at the flywheel. I said mine is at the wheels. The other guy is 240-260bhp at the wheels. You'll find factory output at the wheels to be about 100bhp (if you still have good compression).
