Cooool as all ****. I thought power would be in way way earlier than almost 5500 with that many cubes. What's it like to drive?

It makes the power a lot earlier but that's where he ramped it up from. Drive really nice around town, only has a 3500 convertor in it. But it's useless without semi under its bum. I haven't driven to much as its got no scoop and I don't want to get ****, before I can enjoy it.

Thanks mate Just got back from Calder. What a head ****. Lol. First my fuel line short out a cable and spilt the line, so had to block it off. First run **** burn out, just spun the tyres and throw the alt belt. Second run had to run on battery power, got a good skid and run sic off the line. And run a 10.03 @ 139 mph. ---------- Post added 28-04-12 at 22:50 ---------- That's with all street trim, tyres , exhaust and full interior. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Will I Finially got my bottomend back from salibra, all ready to go. Looks mad. In the end when a bit nuts, 4bolt mains, front steal cap and grout up to the plugs. Will be going to push some more boost in her and see how much power we can make. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
