Hi Ralph, would there be a chance you may ask the person who has made these if he can make or has made a set for BA/BF - E series? Cheers Leigh

Thanks. Sah Helpful

Simplex timing chain*

Hi all, I've been doing a bit of reading around and can't find anything aftermarket or stronger than factory VCT cam gears. I Have stage 4 atomic cams, simple timing chain and vernier adjustable cam gears which lock the cams together, cars currently making 523rwkw. Anybody have any experience to share regarding staying locked or using vct? And is there any other options for cam gears besides factory vct sprockets? Cheers for any help Leigh

Cheers mate yeah having a ball so far! Yeah we were looking at the way they're tensioned as well, not convinced they are the greatest thing to be honest but they're on there now, if it happens again I'll look at changing them to something else because its not the best thing for the motor.

Been a little while so thought I'd update again, the car made its way back to BYE after a bit of a break to figure out what the issue was at the drags, turns out the intake vernier cam shaft gear had slipped out of where it was set, causing a crank and cam trigger issue at high rpm under full load, the result being a loss of 40rwhp and not being able to rev over 5000rpm without serious power loss and popping and farting. Luckily for me it wasn't a really big issue and was quite easily put back in place and re-tensioned. The only cause for it that I can think of is the shock on the valvetrain from all the limiter action it see's in the lower gears has made it slip slightly over time to the point where it actually started to affect the tune. Also had an ECU upgrade, Link have released a new Link G4+ Xtreme, its basically the same as the G4 Xtreme but with a few new features including dual CAN ports and some other nifty things to help fine tune things, and Justin put it up on the dyno for another touch up tune making basically the same power as it had at powercruise, 663rwhp on 1 psi less boost, the car made a touch more torque and seems to be a little more responsive now too. A couple weeks went on and it was time to get ready for summernats, so I packed the car up and off it went with WONAGO, STEALTH, 1FATRAT, BRUTEUTE and BLWNWGN on the transporter. I had a pretty good time over there, entered a few events and missed out on a few as I was too busy watching skids and havin a laugh. Figured as a last minute thing I would enter the dyno competition over there just for a laugh and ended up actually coming 4th in the 6 cyl class overall, so I was pretty stoked about that. Also managed to crack the 700rwhp mark on the mainline summernats dyno, which was run by Mainline themselves. I was so stoked at this achievement! Here's a couple things for now, I still have to take stuff off my go pro and upload them to youtube. 702rwhp/523rwkw Dyno Run Skid Vid On the truck

Hahaha yeah as Steve said I got to ask him how it all went afterward myself, was gold he didnt realise I was the driver of the ED. The owner is a good bloke but I've heard through the grapevine from people who actually associate with him that he was quite embarrassed about being beaten by an ED and a few other cars at racewars that his car went over to the East Coast for a twin turbo setup! So I dont think I'll ever beat that car again hahaha. If those rumours are true, but you know how rumours are in the car scene!

Hahaha, yeah I was stoked to get an ED in street machine for sure, and yeah its in Perth Street Car magazine for a feature in November/December which is also the Powercruise edition. Lol Yeah Bogan in and old falcon was what the lambo driver called me after I beat him haha. Cheers.

Hahaha CT110 ftw indeed. Good write up man, so good to hear this thing is finally tuned and sorted after all the bullsh*t that happened during the lead up. To be honest ya held ya cool really well I would of been losing my sh*t when all this was going down. Have to take me for a spin in it when I come over for summernats haha, will be gold.

Thread mine, which spark plugs are you guys using for 450rwkw+ I was just using the NGK BKR6E's but have now changed to Ford Genuine Iridium plugs and gapped them to .60 with an M&W Ignitor and factory BA Coils. Any help would be appreciated

Hey Simon im running an atomic motor with the cosworth pistons, the motor is relatively quiet at idle but does have some timing chain rattle which sucks. done 3000km and is running 498rwkw

Me and Regy In car 11.24 @ 133mph 11.3 @ 127mph with 1.8 60ft Dunno what I ran here, that ute ran 10.5 though lol

Took the car down to the drags last night on some ET Streets, despite having a bit of an issue with the car that needs to be figured out, managed to pedal an 11.24 @ 133mph with a 1.9 60ft. Best 60ft of the night was a 1.8 and best mph was 134.9

Got more to come, just cant seem to get people to part with them haha Powerskid Catchup with a VH

Lol few people told me I was mad but it came up all good after the skids, got all the rubber off the car and no scratches so win win. Didnt want tyres to be popping though haha no worries man
