Procharged 440

like we said earlier...I thought mine was around 3200 with me, when in fact it was probably around 2950 with me, maybe less?...gave up trying to get it weighed proper twice at the weighbridge as it wasn't working both times I went. Only way to do it proper though.

Bad thing is when you find out its lighter....you realise you ain't quite got the HP you thought you had

A man after me own heart

running just under a maxed out perf dial and being chased and getting your doors blown off is ok, but you should take the win light every time with good rt's, none of this backing off stuff.

gotta get some vids up of it Jon, I don't get about to the tracks these days.....

all the best with it

I can vouch for that...

Every fresh engine...
Us - "right - take it easy Jon - just see how it launches and pulls"

***one full pass later***

Us - "bloody hell! How was it?"

"well - it didn't break, did it!"

Jon doesn't back off (not in his vocabulary) but on rare occasions the car has

Like I said before.......A Man after me own heart!!!
Nothing like a dial in session and then competition for that adrenalin rush when you know you gotta cut a good tree or your out... thats what these cars are built for and how they should be used, ......good on ya Jon.
Wish you the best of luck

Oppss

Now have a pile of bits! Not sure what caused it yet but looks like a rod let go. Looks like we can save the push rods!

Will post more when we know more

No Bananarama! Turnip!!! Is that for real???

At what rpm did it let go????

Feeling for you buddy, I know the amount of work that went into it, let alone the cost.

You will have to stuff quite a few cushions to fund the rebuild.............
