I thought it was roughly around 23%total loss(manual) and 27% total loss for auto. So if vlnitron's was an auto, it would crank out(roughly) 331.5 rwkw, which is massive Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

organising; tubs roll cage 9 in full 4 link coil overs all round tidy up engine bay organising trim brakes and more!! car is being set up for the future engine.. worried that the 29.5 tyre will not be big enough with the new motor.. but i want to retain the back seat as it is my every dayer.. i will look to push over 1000rwhp and have it driven on the street frequently mb not daily!!

Yeah I think your stepping over the line as a daily man. Im the biggest advocate of driving big motor's on the street, but they can be a headache in traffic and ****.

thses days turbos and blowers work so well with v8's, the motors can be relatively mild and keep cool as opposed to something N/A with 13.1 comp, massive cam just absolutely shaking down the house at the lights..

yeah keeping the focker cool in tight traffic is the biggest prob, a good alloy radiator and some big thermos would be the go. Just want to ease on to the accelerator and leave black lines and speed.. just pure torque.
