Took it for a drive around the street at Pete's and it didn't miss a beat
Only took it to 6lb but no breakup and pulled very well
Didn't hiccup or anything
So fingers crossed, all will b good

It's getting taken to 25lb 2moro to see what it does
The tune that's currently in the car was a tune from the previous owners car which the setup was smaller and auto
All that was changed in the settings on the laptop was to id2000 injectors and e85 fuel by Ian hamwood from autronic
That's why I only went to about 6lb
It hadn't been on the dyno to check mixtures or anything so i didn't want to risk the motor

Yes
Might have to stop earlier than that
Depends what power it's at around there as I don't want to blow up the bottomend
So it will be on anywhere from 20-25lb
But being a gt45 rear, it only just starting to get into its efficiency around 25lb

I'm almost disappointed im heading the the Southern 80 tomorrow. Almost.
Seeing you had 700+ on 23 with your old setup Troy, with the new gear you should have more than enough power to smash just about anything out there. It should be a good day.

I'd hope you would beat me in a straight line troy. My thing is definitely no drag car. If they put a corner at the end of the 400 I would probably stand a chance

Nope
Pretty pissed off at the moment to say the least
But gotta love spending near 1k in the last week getting your car ready for an event, getting tyres, fuel, organizing a trailer then the motor ****ing itself on the dyno
Love it! But what did I expect? Something always happens to my cars on the dyno!
Was going great, making good power at low boost and revs, coming on earlier then it started knocking again
This 1 looks like it was my fault, I didn't clean out the oil pump b4 I fitted it
Stupid mistake and 1 I'll never make again
New pump is getting ordered
We were all set to put together 1 of my spare motors and pull an all nighter to get it back running, Pete was going to come and tune it 1st thing but I didn't have any main bearings, only rod and thrust bearings
I was so fu<kin pissed off!
The car was making 375@11lb@5000rpm, and yes at and it was the same at 33degrees
I'll still head up 2moro for a look
Have fun everyone, once again I can only spectate
