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.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

RIP to all the mates lost in car related deaths, everyones mates

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?

I didn't think they did. apparently they do, ill let you know when i rocks up Quote: Originally Posted by 5spdvl You won't need 3 VLT high pressure pumps, just a Bosch 040 internal and 044 external. 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
