Is your 400 PS setup really delivering? Maintenance and troubleshooting for high powered cars
Summit Racing's
Approach to making power
You fit a turbo capable of 400 PS, but the chassis dyno reads less. Or another car with the same specification is somehow faster. A supposed 400 PS car does not always deliver its expected power. What causes this? We asked Summit Racing in Kanagawa, known for its power tuning.
Summit Racing representative
