yeh but watch the vid again.. the majority of the things that go wrong there are just poor judgement, fatal mistakes.. speed is a contributing factor, but the accidents would still have happenend, maybe just not as severely..
people need to slow their brains down and actually THINK about what the **** they are doing.. before and while they are doing it...
ppl drive cars worring too much about everything else in their life/day/car rather than actually concentrating on driving the ****ing thing.. lol
anyhow.. best bang for ur buck in a vl is a n/a bottom end with boltons and a decent tune..

they need to show that to every person who gets their liscence, as said before too many people drive not concentrating on what the **** they are doing. and it can all happen as easily as that video shows. RIP to all the mates lost in car related deaths, everyones mates

Current direction we're heading now....
Another head, and gasket (high comp)
Std N/A Cam - wanting to upgrade to wade 1147c
Standard vlt manifold
gt35/40 internaly gated .50 front 1.06 rear
19 psi actuator, plus 'boost t'
750cc injectors
Nistune ecu
Z32 AFM (300rwkw????)
2-3 vlt high pressure pumps (budget spec, will be upgraded asap, larger power feed run)
Surge tank
Std pressure reg
3" exhaust
3.89 - 4.11 diff gears
Manual
Any thoughts?
Particularly in requards to cam choice and temp fuel pump setup
Also what do people do reguarding fuel filter choice?

You'll need to do a decomping for that kind of psi. Do it right it will last.

Do they make a 1.06 internally gated 35/40? I didn't think they did.
You won't need 3 VLT high pressure pumps, just a Bosch 040 internal and 044 external.
What clutch and box? What diff centre?

Thats the plan, but the budget wont allow for an additional $400 worth the fuel pumps, vlt pumps are a dime a dozen and if i can get away with a pair for a few weeks ill be laughing, and upgrade after that.
ATM, will be running a mf5, and brand new exedy clutch.
Yes the gearbox is made of glass, and the clutch will slip, but hopefully with a high ramp speed and steady foot we can get it tuned, and down to c4c6.
Diff is a standard v6 diff. So 28 spine ( i take it they're tough as nails ), plans for detroit locka but open wheeler for now mmm i know good luck getting traction on the dyno hey! XD
