Gotchya!

You're a car importer?

It was super hurty. Still hasn't healed enough to wear a watch.

Do they by any chance have a section that creates magazines? :?

Totally different circumstances.

Waiting for the final word from my tuner but yes, it's looking that way. I think the thing that sealed the deal was the servo so close to me and the fact that I'll give it a go, decide if it's worth the farting around and then go from there.

Welcome to the repost train. destination, this thread.

Drive through the corners under power and it'll feel better. Zero throttle cornering will give you the gaids until you get the knack.

Found this link while doing some more research. Okay, I'll admit it, you guys planted enough of a seed to start my brain racing. Bastards!! Aussie Ethanol They list the Barrack Heights Ethanol service station as selling the stuff too. And the best bit? It's 2 mins drive from my house. You bastards! That is all. You bastards.

Dude, there should never be people in front of any car on any dyno!

An experienced operator will make a judgment call on whether or not a particular car needs to be strapped down. Don't stress. It's usually the cars that come on like a bomb that need to be strapped down.

You have PM

Not disputing that for a second. It's just people get so caught up with dyno figures it blows me away.

Shane, 28" is a pressure, not a depth. TK gave you the hook-ups. Do what he said.

If you go quicker than 12.500 on the quarter ANDRA say you need to have crossply fronts too. Check with NZDRA (if you run at an NZDRA sanctioned track) to see if their rule is the same. I wouldn't do it in any case but if you're only going to run high 12's @ 110mph it shouldn't be a problem. All I can say is that I've seen slower cars have issues and faster cars not so it's a bit of a mixed bag.

The gearbox was still going when the engine let go. I reckon that says it all.

Ben, ET Streets are a grooved slick (crossply, not radial). You're thinking of ET Street Radials - different beast. Lith, a launch is a launch is a launch. It's only G-forces and you won't have any oil pressure problems just from a drag launch. Seriosuly, it wouldn't even cross my mind as a concern. I would suggest you also use crossply front runners with the ET Streets though as radial front/crossply rear can have disastrous consequences.

What cams are you referring to? The Poncams in my thing? The dyno seems to show that it's flowing well enough in all the right places. We'll see. The biggest problem I can see is that in my area, there's only one E85 servo and it's not what you might call busy or reputable. lol. Interested in the fuel variation you see on the dyno.

Nothing wrong with aiming for big (mph) numbers with a 25 and GT35/1.06 combo. The engine combo was spec'd as an example of what can be achieved with a very, very common setup that people can relate to. Not a GT47-equipped dyno queen. Power figures only concern me to the extent that they're reflected by terminal speeds. My 5-speed stocker made 265kW on the bottle and ran 120mph @ 3240lbs race weight. Why could so many other similar cars only manage 114-116mph with 300kW? The point here is that I'd be happy for the dyno to show 150kW if it ran 140mph! I'm not concerned with breaking records on PULP. If I was, I wouldn't have stopped tuning at 19psi and 11.xx:1 AFR's. --- I've highlighted the word that best describes my argument.

Thanks for that.

Just promise me you'll drive it like this guy. Wow! I reckon his foot is dyna-bolted to the firewall via the throttle pedal!

Saw pics of the covers on the PRI show website. Awesome!

There's a reason the market for Ethanol content testers has exploded in the states and it's not because it's the most reliably consistent fuel. Let me put it another way: If you tune an engine on the ragged edge, would you prefer to use a fuel with 0% difference between batches or 1% difference?

No, it comes down to pump fuel being horribly inconsistent and me not wanting to risk blowing up an engine because of one bad batch of fuel. It's pretty simple to understand.

Not worth the time and effort to bother. Fuel in drums is infinitely more consistent than fuel from a bowser.
