Nice result Ant eater. So much for not running more than 20 psi hey ;).

How does it feel?

not sure yet Paulie

haven't had the chance to use those 600 ponies just yet

but QLD SAU drag day next weekend - I think I will open it up a little

they tried 30psi but them stock springs don't like it lol

Are u gonna change your springs ants.. After my last engine failure I'll never use stock or jap springs again

yeah, eventually I will mate

Your previous engine died because of the OEM springs?

Yea they were either oem or tomei mate. Can't remember exactly but they were soft and only pushing tomei cams

ended up breaking in 3 pieces and smashing itself into a forged piston, around 20,000 old so shouldn't have failed

what did you replace them with?

awesome result ants :)

call me soft but i dont drive mine on high boost which is 430kw at i think @ 25psi (i need another 044 pump run higher than e55 mixed blend & higher boost)

just take it easy mate - its a lot of power (fark im getting old)

Ferrea dual springs with locks and retainers., haven't actually started the engine yet but the builder reckons they re the best and the fitment of the components is excellent

sweet will look into that

Having a really decent fuel system is key to the HP thats for sure

You only live once - boost that shit up Marko

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
