Top effort, that's pumping abit of hp through the old girl

Need some vids

I have to start my reply with some thanks, the automotive industry is truly lacking such gratitude.

Without the following people, I would not have made it to heathcote.

A Huge thanks to Danny Pirotta from Springy motors for opening up his shop on Christmas Eve for some dyno time.

Also a huge thanks to Jason Ghiller from tunnel vision for opening his shop on Christmas Day for his welding skills.

Stix and Milan for use of their car trailer.

Paul Jabke of Pcj electrical for the use of his Landcruiser tow vehicle.

And of course Ivan for the help today.

The 2 days prior were hectic, and without the above help, I just wouldn't have made it.

Now, I run united e85. On springy's dyno, it recorded 509rwkw, at 23psi.

It's still a Bayswater automatics 4speed btr built by Phil. Which mind you shifted like a champ, and is holding up well(considering I didn't shift 4th this time.. Lol)

The first 21second run (thanks for the selfie Henz) was due to the cooler pipe blowing off on launch, but it still managed a 1.80 60foot. Lol

The second run was the magic run, all planet aligned, with a 1.53 60foot, to a 110 mph mid track, and a 9.97 / 140.67mph.

The 3rd run broke loose shorty after launching, but pedalled it to a 10.2 @142.6? Mph. The vehicle in front of me dropped oil down during his burnout, which seems to be the reason looking back at the videos.

As for videos, ivan, and et took some on their phones, Luke frm full boost only tool snaps of my 9 second run, and video of my last one breaking loose.

Some may remember that my previous 10.300 @ 132mph was limited because I ran out of revs with the et street tyres.

The answer was 28" slick or raise rev Limitor, which I did to 6800rpm. The scary part was, I still crossed the line touching the limiter!!

Was not shifting into 4th to help the box survive or something else.

You can't shift a btr to 4th (overdrive) and expect the band to survive.

3rd is top, which is the gear you cross the line in..
