well i went to PTC Sydney yesterday and had an evaluation with Trent. I must say, top bloke, very knowledgeable, not judgmental and explains everything to you in detail.

He sorted a couple of issues that my younger brother was having out in about 30 seconds (particularly squatting) and in the session, young 17 year old 90kg Jack went from struggling to squat 70kg below the parallel to squatting 100kg almost ATG. My squat however went backwards, I got lower almost to ATG but only managed 70kg in the squat rack before form started to drop.

Also tweaked our bench to more of a strong man bench. I can speak now from experience a PVC pipe under your back whilst trying to bench sucks balls (I have the bruises to prove that), seems to have helped Jacks bench technique as well.

Finally we did some Deads, probably my new favorite exercise. Got to 100kg x 3 reps before form started to break. This was after he changed the entire way that I dead.

Trent has also recommended that we add in some leg press and lower back raises to help us with these main lifts and thinks we should go back in about 6 months for another quick session. If the gym wasn't so far away and I wasnt as busy as I am with work, uni, other sporting commitments and the girlfriend I would sign up in an instant. Really enjoyed the entire environment that I witnessed at the gym with all the guys there.

If TL:DR here is the summary, good session, good gym ended up lifting more and less. Would recommend anyone to have a session if they are unsure and will go back.

Thanks guys, its great when the hard work pays off.

Very interesting. I should book a visit when my shoulder is better.

    • Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked. 
    • Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
    • Very cool, see what I did there? 🥲 Wild WMI setup, first I've seen where it's on each cylinder runner, usually I see a single jet pre throttle.
