I followed you this arvo through belmont to bennetts green ( I was in my rodeo with ali tool boxes and ladders on top )
it sounded like it needed a good tune and didn't want to idle
take it to john collins dyno tune at broadmeadow you will have to book and wait a while but is is excellent with webbers
he got 76 kw from my 1600 mk1

Yeah, just having a test run this afternoon. When it's low revs sounds really bad, but once you rev it.. it starts to kick in and sound better. That's exactly where im going to take it to get dynoed and tuned, heard hes a top bloke. Also what's with the long wait with him? Must be a good guy to go with the old webbers. Come to think of it i think i remember seeing a ute with ladder lol.

I dont know how long you will have to wait ring and ask him
remember his workshop was flooded and he had to get a new dyno
( which is the only 4wd dyno in newcastle ) so the work would have banked up and also he knows his stuff and has a good reputation

it's not tuned yet but giving it a little bit to see where she takes off is around 3500 onwards, but i dont know if things will change majorly when tuned... but at the moment it sounds like a bunch of fire crackers going off in a drain of water. Needs a tune asap

as soon as i get it dynoed and tuned ill definatly post the chart. Should be interesting to see what she puts out.

ok it's locked in. Friday the 26th is when im getting her on the dyno and tuned, quoted me about $300 or so for dyno and tune. He wants me to leave it there and come back in the arvo and pick it up... Pfft ill be there with my camera taking some footage [:x)]

John Collins is doing it and apparently a good tuner with the carbies he got flooeded in the newcastle floods and hes booked out righht up to the 26th of this month, or id have it earlier!

will post youtube and dyno chart asap when i get it. Excited what its going to put out.
