| Finally test run my unit tonight!!! Had to pick my jaw up off my chest wheel spinning 295 pirelli p zero's at 90~100kph f***ing scary. We managed 450rwhp @ 22psi(with more to come) on 205x16's stockies spraying rubber out the rear end on the dyno. My new Mv auto full trans and stally will be in within a few weeks ready for the drags, shame the seasons coming to a close

| I've been watching Chip Foose on Rides and my mind got custom ticking! I,ll do the same in the opening of bonnet scoop matched with the factory grill. |

| The indicators are some crap that Fibervision moulded in and i probably can't get any more and one of them is stuffed (bad quality) these are being fitted soon, Lexus/Camry last long and easy to replace in future.
Aaron it would probably be cheaper to fly 2 people to Thailand and have a holiday than drive this thing (2 petrol pumps on wheels) to darwin and go drag racing. Which would you choose? |

| Haha where were you last wednesday, it was busy nice and cold, i am there on Wed. Took it easy ran this on 17psi boost. I upgraded my coil packs and it must have changed the timing its getting retuned tomorrow. My tranny has arrived but will be fitted for next week so i'm still taking it easy on the old one.

| What tyres did you use for the run? Best I could get out of my car was a 13.2 or something using 275 Azenis Manual transmission too... approx. 350m of burnout. |

| Using 275 on 17x9"s MT drag radials sticky as lol. Street tyres 295 p zero spin like driving in the wet (useless) I guess manual is harder to get right? |

| Ahh nice. Massive difference to road tyres. Anyone want to lend me a pair of rear MTs for one trip down the strip? Manual is insane to get the power down. No joke (ask several of the Eastern Creek runners here) I had no traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and most of 4th gear. I managed to pass the line at 124mph however. |

| Nah, not going to buy a set just for 1 trip down the strip. Drag racing doesn't interest me that much, so I was just curious to see what time I could pull on 'real' tyres. Hehee, a bit far to drive just for 400m of racing My ignition system uses the standard coil packs and uses a HKS TwinPower DLI to boost the spark. Haven't had any issues so far. Running NGK-R BKR7E-8 plugs at around 0.7mm gap. |

| Joe, get that 60 foot down beneath two seconds and you will be in the very low 12s. They are awesome conditions too. I wouldn't be surprised if you find it tough to get near that MPH again with the same tune etc. |
