i actually like a lot of motors, 4's, 6's, 8's and rotarys,

this is the first v8 ive owned or driven.[:I] but i dont worry about people running 10's in the uk, i remember when Brian munro was running nines around 1996.


as for my car, with some more passes iam sure the car will go faster, as ive only had two street meets in the car.

it has not been dyno'd etc, as its only street tuned by me, so theres a fair bit left in it when i get some more time to fine tune and play with the carby.

I just did some calcs[:p] With your ratio's your mph at 6500rpm in top should be around 150mph

hey phil,

yeah with a manual the gearing would allow 150mph, with the auto i thought the slip would make it more around 140 to 145mph at around 6500rpm -6700rpm, depending on how good a converter is.

as i only had one full pass with the new gearing, i didn't quite get the exact rpm as i crossed the line,

but with a converter suited to na motor about half the hp and torque i would expect a huge amount of slip (the converter is unknown,so i doubt its matched.)
its possible the rpm was less, i could have been past the line.

The speedo is the last thing on your mind when crossing the line at that speed!![:p]

i was supposed to watch the AFR meter, boost guage, tacho and speedo

but iam not 100% sure what any of them where.

Good work John, congrates on the times, Nines are just a knock on the door.

Let me know when you hit WSID again and i'll be there, if you have an E-Boost2 apparently i'm the only bloke around that knows how to tune these

Seeya at the track

prob wont be back till next year :(

iam only running a simple boost controller, adjustable reg bleeding air to the top of the gate.

Johnopaul, full marks on the V8. I know there is alot of money needed to get that 1/10 of a second. Good luck with the chase for 9's!

thanks mate :)

that's what dreams are made of!!
it must sound unreal too!
nice work johnopaul
