Id budget 5/7k at least. Just looking at your profile there mate... what have you done to the HJ to go from 11.7 to 11.3?

I modified the metering blocks in the carb, and got the manifold cleaned up. made 2 more killerwatsis on the local chassis dyno on a club day, ran 4/10ths and 2mph quicker and i ran out of time at the track to finish the tune. should go 11.2x without too much drama

far out. I suppose you upped convertor too? From memory that was holding you back a little. 4.11s yeah? Huge improvement.

nah, same old 3500 convertor, been behind 3 engines now. i need tyres, then i might chuck a 4500 in it, i want to get some daylight under the front. Have you raced yours again since I seen you? Hows it all running now?
