I still needed to do some intake and exhaust testing. I felt that there was maybe a couple more hp there. We were able to turn it 8600 rpm. It made peak power at 8200. From the few laps that I got to drive it it was like driving and ITC car. It was all about momentum. It would not accel up turn 1 at Road A in 4th. You need to be above 7000rpm all the time. This meant you had 100wtq. So the GSR is about a 20% power increase.
170*1.25=212.5

Assuming 15% drivetrain loss, that is ~ 180.6whp. I think that is pretty darn close. You did good.
