Out of curiosity how many passes do you get out of a 7 or 8 sec engine before you freshen it up?

I remember seeing it when Vl god was for sale ages ago. I think it said its done over 40 x 8sec passes on a single engine.

I don't think that's too bad considering how much boost etc the things are running. Have you pulled your motor down since it was built evilrb30?

well said julz its astonishing how many 7 second passes gh0747 has ran. cant wait to see your gtr race when the time comes it should yeild a good result. maatouks certainly proved himself to be the person to beat in the vl community and im not saying others cannot but as i type he is clear ahead by not one but ten country miles and still stretching his lead. certainly has put in the effort to get there i bet so kudos to him.
