There's still plenty left in the good ol' single cam and i'm sure they aren't done with it yet but the thought of dropping a Twin Cam in GH-0747 sailvates me greatly.

Street Commodores quote " Craig from Dyno Hire Services proudly boasts that the car is well on it's way to GH's record, running into the low-8s and trapping over 160mph showing it's brutal potential" anyway.. 2 lanes on the drag strip... Just stating the obvious.. cause whether your deaf, dumb and / or blind, gay, straight, inbread or thoroughbred, short or tall, a dwarf or midget, even if one leg is longer than the other.. someone has issued a challenge I love it though, i would put the challenge out there too if i had a car with potential, big balls for the 4L, im keen to see if it can get down the other end in under 8 seconds at Jambo and 8.57.. not quite a low 8.. but getting there.. i think the low 8's are with KILLAB MOTORTECH Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It does have a lot left in it considering the 8.57 @ 163 was with a 1.5 60' no boost off the line second pass ever Jambos always fun regardless of whos there or who isnt. Your wheel stand a couple of years ago is in my top 3 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

All the bull**** that ruins it for a lot of cars and people generally comes from the people that aren't building/driving. All your ever racing is the other lane
