    I think you are right. the money involved is not a huge amount for peace of mind. Looks like a bigger pump.

    Hey Ugy, I found that as the mods progressed and gained power, the more fuel the car needed. At 280rwkw's, it needed at least 1/2 a tank. At 300rwkw's about 2/3 At 320rwkw's it had to have more than 3/4 or else it would get the surge you mention at 3/4 track. No issues now with the surge tank and 800hp pump. ← I have 303 at the wheels so the fuel might not have been an issue. Just wondering if it could be the plugs. Bloody annoying when the guys in the other lane were from the red brigade

    Hi guys, been having a problem with the T missing and surging down the strip.It happens about 2 thirds down and does it every time.I have had the valve springs done so that wont be the problem. I thought it might be the fuel pump (which it sounds like) but every one I suggest it to reckons it wouldnt be. I have had it on the dyno to try and find out but nothing shows up. Would be grateful if somebody can help out. Thanks.

    Mine creaks and the problem is where you plug the seat belt in rubbing on the seat. My seats are leather so if you have leather seats that could be the problem. Bill

    Some guys are running these tyres on 17X8 rims and was wondering if you could run these tyres on 17x7.5
  9. Hi wondering if someone can help me out. My knowledge of tyres and sizes is very limited and was wondering if 17 inch M/T street radials would fit a 17x7.5 wheel. I dont want to go and buy a second hand set of wheels to find out they are to small. Thanks in advance.... Bill

    Thanks guys makes great reading. I dont think there is much wrong with the tune as I have got 116.2 mph at the end of the quater mile. Thanks for the input. Bill

    I doubt this very much - torque is falling away at that point, and if it does so quickly enough, then power will drop. Curve looks fine to me - but expectations will depend on what other mods you have! Maintaining high torque at high rpm is very hard particularly with the stock induction plumbing, and to a lesser extent the stock exhaust (well cat anyway), as losses are much higher with the higher flow rates. Based on the amount of boost, I would hope valve springs have been done. If you post up the rest of your mods, I am sure we can provide some more constructive comment. Cheers, Ben. ← Hi Ben, the mods are 42 injectors Hyperflow IC Flasher K&N CAI Valve Springs Cat gone and centre muffler gone 320rw backed off to 303rw Thanks Bill

    Hi guys,wondering if someone can have a look at this dyno sheet.I think it drops off to quick. Thanks

    What about putting the name of the dealership up so everyone knows to stay away from the pr..Ks or at least make sure you go over the car and check everything and I mean everything.sounds like they dont give a rats ass even when you complain

    Maybe if they find some way of putting a sidewall on them they wont look so bad. At the mo they dont appeal to me.

  25. Hi guys, I wonder if someone can help me out here. I realize that stalling up will overheat the trans and was wondering if I had a long break between runs(eg..half an hour) if it would help a lot.Also is there anything else that you can do to help keep the heat down. I am looking to get a tranny cooler soon so was looking for some advice in the mean time. Thanks Bill
