congratulations sir spiro!!!!!

I do... I do sir spiro!!! I will do a bit of digging around and see what I can come up with!

Some of you might have heard about a build we have been doing at the workshop over the past year! Well this year has been quite an epic year for the owner of this particular BA GT!! His dream was to have a naturally aspirated boss engine making 351 rear wheel kilowatts. that's 620 horsepower at the engine. It started with the ordering of a bored and darton sleaved block and complete rotating assembley from the US. Actual capacity now up from 330 cubic inch to 358 cubic inch or up from 5.4l to 5.86l. New cylinder heads were sourced, ported and polished with new comp cams fitted. Fully assembled and dropped in. The twin blade 60 mm throttlebody was dumped in favor of the big mono blade Whipple throttlebody. A Bluepower Airbox was also fitted and the exhaust was upgraded from a single piece twin 2.5 inch exhaust with pacemaker extractors, to the DiFilipo Big Boy system. So to cut long story short after nine months. Its finally come together. It's been an absolute pleasure to produce the most powerful, yet still very driveable, Naturally aspirated Boss in the country. Final result came in at 348 rear wheel kilowatts on Shell VPower. 3 short of the dream but the wish was 330-340 everyday and that's what it is. Still, when this GT has a couple of thousand more kilometers under its belt, it should be a little bit looser and be able to pick up a few extra kw when run in a bit more. At its current power level the engine is still producing 615 horsepower, not to shabby at all. Sensational to drive? You bet!! Anyway just thought I would share this with you guys as this has been one fantastic ride.

congrats on the power mate!!!! will have to line up against you next time your at the drags when my car is finished!!! should prove to be interesting!!!

congrats sir spiro!!!! you did sound pretty excited on the phone last night!!!

sexual favors!!!!!

congrats spiro and the boys at 6Boost!!! sounds awesome!!! when do you expect it to see the strip sir spiro???

definately a good thing if it is running a generic tune... a custom tune will be tailored to your car and your car only and will be alot safer and smoother... and a competant tuner will be able to extract the most power out of your car without compromising reliability!!

very nice sir spiro!!! not too long to go now till our rematch

very nice sir spiro!!!! not to long to go now till we have our rematch

glad you are happy with the car jules!!!! you will have to get it out the strip next time we are out!!!!

FNQIK is pretty good mate!!!

nice sir spiro!!! cant wait mate!!!

what if you have smashed the gearsets??? and sending metal all through the box??? I wouldnt risk it... its another cost your going to have on gearbox number 4 I kept driving it and when it finally gave up I smashed absolutely everything including the torque convertor! im pretty sure that I can dig up some pics if you want them to show the carnage!!

do not drive it!!! you will send bits of metal and crap through the gearbox and do even more damage!!!

only way it can be turned off is through the tune. but then trying to turn it off might affect how the car reacts with the rest of the tune.

cant wait sir spiro!!!!!!

yes, those extra tables do make a difference

good idea goldie!!!! keep us posted on each step!!!! maybe enter the girls in the street series?????

cant wait to see this back at the strip sir spiro!!!!! how long till the cage is completed??? and will it still be driven everyday???

very unfortunate result sir spiro!!!! I look forward to our next battle, which will hopefully not be so 1 sided!!! :beerchug:
