Just a quick update.. Ive acquired the powerglide ive been waiting for, just had the M&W ignition setup thrown on and am about ready for a big boost tune. She made 580rwhp on 26psi so far but ran into a few dramas with the cam. Im now in the middle of putting on a ROMAC adjustable. Once the glide is in and the tune is finished ill be ready for the track. Cant WAIT!!!! fingers crossed... Heres the pics of the M&W CDI setup... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

it was using roo16 on 26psi as we planned on upping it to 35ish but as i said before the CAM setup was cuasing too much boost loss and so its got to be sorted before it hits the dyno again. One of my boys is over in QLD atm for Jamboree and is grabbing me a new cam of Dyson... going to shove that in and see how she goes. Car will be ready in 6weeks Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Also did you make that power with a manual? rear is .82 from memory and the power was made with the manual... yes i know it will be a bit lower with the glide but then again theres another 10psi to be shoved into tho. Ill be happy with 600rwhp with the glide on race fuel on hi boost. Im ripping out the MX7 this weekend and will have the glide in it by the week after. Im still really concerned about the rear end. I dont think it will live too long, tho so many ppl keep telling me it will be ok 'for a while'...
