Hello and welcome to Bigpower.

A 501 ATW is rather impressive Russell, this site is very much about how we use cars and their power, on this we have a rule, HP needs to be supported by evidence i.e. dyno printouts etc - get yourself a thread in the projects and tell us about this beast buddy.

How on earth do you put that much power down in a 2 wheel drive machine or are you running the 4wd transmission from a 70R ?

Hi Murano3

Thanks for the welcome the project is far from finished i did a couple of runs to see what was happening as as you can imagine there is very little experience in the uk of high hp volvo's :lol: :lol:

No problem to prove my power claims as i too hate people that say i have this hp etc without any proof,before i get flamed i know the power band is narrow but do stick with me these graphs are not the finished article it was just a test at the time....

The car will mainly be a road car but will do a few track days and other events

2.3 bar race fuel

Welcome to the forum :thumb:

I've owned two T5's and I would love another.......I've always fancied making a touring car version.

I look forward to following the threads with the progress. What sort of track stuff do you do by the way?
