My ride has pretty much just been finished a month or so ago from a major engine failure. The guys at DTM transmissions assembled and put together a nice engine and tranny package that would be able to handle a hard time when I raced it. Th car is a Vx Ss 02 model x pursuit car, pretty much standard apart from the engine and running gear. The list of engine components are; Brand new Eagle motorsport engine block (standard replacement) All machining was done at custom engines in Melbourne Callies 383 stroker crank Callies H beam rods Cp bullet forged pistons Compcam LSR 235-245 with 620+ lift Compcam R lifters Fast 92 manifold MSD 92mm t/b Standard 241 casting heads re-coed Compcam double springs with titanium retainers Race 15% underdriven ballancer Bosch ford motorsport injectors 42lbs Deatsch works fuel pump Full manual turbo 400 transmission Dominator 4500rpm converter Car tuned by Dtm transmission Standard 3.46 diff gears 15x4 gm front runners 15x7 gm rear intercepters Pacemaker 1-3/4 4 into 1 headers X force twin 3 inch exhaust and 100cpi cats The car has run 11.2 @ 125mph with plenty left in it, once I change the diff gears and get some better tyres I should see it dip into the 10's with no problem at all.

125mph is pretty stonking, the 1.7 60ft is the only thing that let you down. Sneak it into the 1.5's and its a 10 sec car all day every day by a good margin.

Yeah definetly needs a better 60 foot times, the radials were not hooking up 100% so some better rubber and better diff gears should get it into a high 10, 3.46's are not the beat ratio for my setup, I have just purchased some 3.73's can't wait to get it back to the track...
