For those who didn't hear, Ollie had his VL 'ONC16" out at willowbank last night again with radials, full exhaust and his usual E85 and finally got down the track with full power. After 3 half track passes turning the tyres off the line, the last pass of the whole night reeled off a 10.09@133mph, clipping the limiter in both first and second gear.
I'll chuck up a video monday or tuesday when I get the camera back, but I'd like to hear if anyone else has run a 9 on radials and full street trim and fuel? Any recent pics of the engine bay Ollie?? It looks cleaner every time I see it Congrats mate, awesome time, especially for "only" 312 or so rwkw!! You deserve it for all the hard work you've put in over the years. Now get the bloody thing tech inspected and lets go run a 9 Who said NA bottom ends were sh1t?? lol.
6BOOST

Congrats Ollie great work, looks like from what I have heard is there is alot of Vl's coming out to play and try to run high 9's here in qld, so in turn might spark the scene again,
once again good on ya Ollie
Good work ollie that 9 wont be too far away and on a standard na bottom end just shows how strong the rb30s are. Thought it would have more then 312rwkw?
Thanks Kyle and all you guys for the kind words..
Yeh it does have more than 312rwkw, but I couldn't tell you what it was 'really' making on the dyno on Wednesday cause it would only show 426rwhp lol... was starting to wonder whether all the good times with this engine over the last three and a half years were starting to show or something.
Guess it doesn't matter anyway now. A near 9 out of it was exciting enough, especially knowing that I all need to do is get my 60ft back into the 1.4's and get my shifts right and this thing will run a 9. Definately is a great feeling.
I don't have a pic cause my camera is flat, but here is a vid off the dyno on Wednesday and a pic from the track too
