Damn just when the nsw vl turbo brigade step up the pace with there vls breaking into the nines so do the victorians and i dont think ive ever seen this car before. Congratualtions kd747. Also bigpsi i see it has a catch can on the drivers side which clearly shows the breathers from the rocker cover connected to it but what is the other catch can where the original air box sits with the fat red hose coming out of it and leading somewhere down near the radiator. Any special gadgets connected to this car. Just curious.

The fat red hose is venting the sump

Great effort for a car still retaining pwr steering, heater, widows etc. Car should go alot faster when the 60ft time improves. Well done JPC

2 speed & Microtech Quote: Originally Posted by Sinister its not kw either its revs Disagree but its not really KW either its T----E but its not RPM Quote: Originally Posted by PnP MeDiA doesnt boost make kw? What im saying is: If one engine has a seriously ported head and makes 380rwkw @ 25psi And another engine has a standard port head and makes 380rwkw @ 35psi There is the same stress on the both bottom ends
