TeamX on the forum has but I think the car is sold.
Interesting, what kind of power was it making?

I see prawn on ASN makes a reliable 370bhp on 1.4bar :crazy: given that he has done rods and a few other things to handle the power.
Iirc the car made over 300whp at altitude

yep,
TeamX's car was strong, he was guessing 250wkw with meth.

Was a mission tho, iirc, the ko4-64 is larger and space was a problem.

K04 0064 would be a nice swap for sure.

Hard ro compare different dynos let alone coast to altitude. Maybe i will dyno at stealth and see what the difference is.

For interest, a k03 hybrid also did about 280hp at badger 5. Just shows how restrictive the k03 hotside is. As the internals on the better k03/k04 hybrids and the 0064 are essentially the same.
