MRPSI on the dyno last year didn't sound healthy almost like it was braking down as it was heading through the RPM. Was I imagining it? Does anyone remember it? Thinking about it, it could have been breaking traction on the dyno but surely Dyno Dynamics would have tried different ramp rates/strapping it down to eliminate it.

Jambo > Summernats. if u knew ur holdens u would have realized that i have vs gts seats... front and back....and the holes on the bonnet u cant step the gagues back if its on the plastic.THAT WHY THE PLATES SAY ABVALL Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

They used to advertise them on the Tempe site but no longer! I feared that they may have gone the way of the Modelart!
