And running 30psi your vision gets blurry under acceleration...
um.. no
haha ok then I ran my new vl with the NA motor (what a beast)
16.2 at 92mph
specs are bog stock motor and exhaust
3.9 diff gears. c4 auto 185 bob jane all rounders on extra sik 15" auscar rims.
.460 light and still beat a v8 falcon

Piss weak I don't want to see anything under .410 lights. Big expert like you should able to run low 0.4 lights! lol
So do you expect to do any quicker with this VL?

seeing as im not ever caging it... can they stop me taking it down and running azenis or something to see how i can go on street tyres?? as long as it doesnt run a 10 i cant see a problem??
from the impression i got last night it was piss off for good till u get a cage thats no fun

jba its good to see someone saw it run it smashed the tyres off the line and trucked on pretty good up top to make up lost time it ran nice and crisp and clean for one (usually is misses a bit) not sure when it comes on boost cause of the convertor about 4000 its got full boost and holds it to 7000 revs at least not game to rev it further
heres the dyno sheet from the tune for last night
yeah it was good to see it run, did'nt notice to much loss of traction got away nice and clean.. and that is good hp nothing to complain about.. so is it a stock rb30 still....

all thats aftermarket in the engine itself is arp head studs cometic head gasket and a baby cam the same as andys...still uses the n/a oil pump and pistons rods head etc head is totally unported just recoed its power is all bolt ons the engine is just a means of getting it to the gearbox haha ... thanks for that info keith might give it a go later on in the year on streeters cant wait to see yours out and about again!!
