Hoping she'll be at Jambo with around the 1100hp mark, and drop well into the 8's, just need it to hook up. Fingers crossed BQQ57 dips into the 9's, it's been a long time coming

Yeh she came up nice with the new paint and panels etc. Pretty much a new car since it was out last. New motor, new turbo, plenum, exhaust manifold, rebuilt box and converter, full floater rear, paint, panels etc etc. list just goes on. Only problem is getting it down the track, two wednesdays ago it was out with a soft tune and no spray, so 800hp, and Danny had a hell of a time getting it to hook up and stay straight. I may have mentioned to him that if he can't get it to run the times we want over the w'e, to rip out that rear sway bar and have some fun during the grudgies, and get that left front up in the air again. Haha

Nothing wrong with the old motor, it's still sitting in the workshop. But it had the vvti head, so got a whole new non vvti motor, and did some work to it, and Andy picked up some backing from spool conrods so did a whole new bottom end. Then it just snow balled from there and ended up with a 47r hanging off it. Haha. Change of plans for the w'e, the boys aren't confident in getting the extra power to the ground after having the rear end set up. The bloke reckons realistically it needs a new rear clip etc. so only running a measely 800hp again. I guess I'll be happy if it runs an 8.99.
