Well despite my better judgement I took the blown beast out today. I finally got some better fuel (Our alledged 96 octane is sh1t) which seems to have fixed the pinging problem. I was a bit scared to get too loose in it , because with the air cleaner/carb hanging out the bonnet, a police man would defect it instantly. On the primary it pulls nicely, running 5+psi. But when the big hole is opened it gets up over 11. Just for kicks we tried to time it to 100KPH, but after I launched it traction was unobtainable under full throttle. Even grbbing more gears didn't help, I wound up pulling 5 grand in fourth gear before giving up. I supose thats what you'd expect, running 4.1:1 open diff with 165/70/12 tyres (Now looking worse for wear). Still , I'm happy with the way she goes. Now with a few finnishing touches it will be ready for the next street meet , whenever that is.

Well done, Thats good to hear, You gotta bring it by work and show the boys. So your up for some bigger tyres then.

Once the days get a bit longer, (more daylight) I'll fix a few small things and get it certified ($250).
