21-12-12, 19:34 GMT+10#28 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?

in 2009 i had my enigne in the car for a good 12 months without touching it.. mind you i had issues with the gearbox and rear end not holding the power but i would have run at least 20 x 8 sec passes and god knows how many burnouts and half passes in it.. id say 40+
GH's engine in the car now has been in it since it did a 7.82 at 176. since then im thinking hes done 15 7 second passes and the engine is still in the car ready to go faster....
probably just 2 freaky engines but if i learnt one thing.. its that maatouk are one mob that can keep an engine together when it comes to rb's and i left a workshop that was supposed to be the best of the best to go to maatouks.. im sure the "best of the best" will eventually figure it out and when they do god help us but for now maatouks stand alone i think...

30-12-12, 17:36 GMT+10#31 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.
