The pin and piston pin region is also different but that is only due to the difference in design of the piston.

As promised on my last post dated 06-03-19 heres the results after switching to E85. Torque 1257NM@3781 Power 502.0KW@5758. We saw 505kw but backed it off a bit because the engine is stock standard with the exception of valve springs and head studs. At the Geelong Revival last month my best time was a 10.3. If anyone is interested I will be at the ALL FORD DAY with my GPC Territory if you would like to have a chat. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Captain Slow New Member 12 Member For: 5y 8m 9d Posted 15/12/19 07:47 AM Share Posted 15/12/19 07:47 AM (edited) I along with my 17 year-old daughter have triedfor over 30 minutes to post a photo of the dyno sheet to no avail. (I'm a baby boomer and still learning how to do this social media stuff) However for those of you that are interested my daughter has set up an Instagram account for me so you can follow the progress of my GPC Territory. nick_captain_slow I failed to mention that the All Ford Day is on Sunday 16th February at the Sutcliffe Reserve Corio (Geelong) See you there.

Particularly interested about how you've got the torque level so high on all of your various mods/tunes. You must have plenty of boost and timing thrown in early into your TT.
