Nice pics Rob.

Still seems weird to me, to see a Pro Mod with a shifter cable (I understand why though)

How long are those plug leads, seems a long way to the Mag, maybe the photo angle.

Mark, they are seriously long, just routed that way so that they are out of the way of anything hot or moving, whilst making it easy to service the top end.

Yep, pretty sure its a Rossler 400, seem to be a common choice of gearbox these days, Rossler in particular seem to have corned the market in the Turbo 400 or have probably the best name.

Yes, your also going daft

I'm not sure really mate, but I just spent close on $3k on full upgrade & rebuild parts for mine, so plus more for case, few other bits probably around the $6-7k

Here's a link to the site, don't think they list prices

We've been struggling a bit this weekend, we have a bump box for the trans brake which allows you to build boost against the T/B when in pre stage, then hit the bump button which momentarily releases the T/B for a set time (adjustable on the bump box) this "jumps" you in to full stage. It is quite violent & we chose to try a larger jump then reduce it to find the correct setting rather than starting small & increasing. We are pretty much on the mark now & hopoefully we should hit some good numbers tomorrow morning.
Andy's car is stunnimg as you would expect & he has already made a high 6 second pass.
I'll try & do a full round up of the weekend later, I've just come home tonite to have a couple of hours with the missus & my dogs who have all been missing me as I've been working away from home for the last couple of months, came home Wednesday then went racing on Thursday!
