    Give or take 10% in shootout mode.. Makes the figure bit more realistic
  3. Give Nasser a call from Dent Ace 0416704206 The guy is exceptional..
  4. Its a nice way to be Faaarked !! Well done matt..
  5. Johns billet upgrade is a top unit. Had one before I went PT6235. Nice power..well done
  6. A broken harmonic balance wont bend valves If you've broken your timing chain..then chances are very high. Balancers have been known to fail in the barra
  7. When we measured mine.. the cylinders were literally "oval" without the head bolted on.. Just made sense to have the cylinders "round" when measuring ring gaps..
  8. I like ^^ this guy. Good,solid advice. I filed my ring sets with the torque plate.. The difference was eye opening and substantial. I guess it comes down to detail Cheers
  9. What he said.. Id sacrifice a tenth or two for spool... This thread was always about the spool...
  10. PT... Spool 76.. legs of 82..... Cant be simpler...

    OOh.. Mine does the same thing... Crow springs.. built motor. Start up sounds like your rummaging through the pots and pan draw. 2-3 seconds and goes away. Decent oil pressure blah blah Been chasing out tails.. Im running atomic cams so anti-pump maybe the way to go..

    Cured what ? What was the problem?
  15. it was nelson come to think of it
  16. Pretty sue that hanger has been added. Have to ask the fitter. But they're definitely secured and firm I dare say there will be an adjustment or two.. but saying that , theyre great bang for buck!! Speaking of wakefield Had one of my tool suppliers come in the other day. Evo boy racer.. Apparently you made an impression the other week!! He couldn't get over how fast/quick you were!! He always knew I was into the Barras but didn't give them much cred.. You blew his mind! He kept going on about it ! lo Well done..
  17. Aesthetically? Way too long (exhaust tips) And when warm it grows another inch to and inch and a half. That looks odd. Mine? ID trim the tips back..and HPC coat the rear muffler completely black for more stealth..
  18. Yep. It was fitted up about a week ago. Fitment was very good. Have had more issues with Xforce and the like. Afew adjustments once it heat cycled. And Im sure there will be more. But that can be expected with a big bore system V bands can and did leak.. but were rectified with fiddling.. Sound? Surprisingly not too loud and obnoxious. Deep deep note. Definitely great bang for buck Id recommend it over the Xforce any day of the week.. Still early days.. lets see how it fares..
  19. Running these ^^^ with the atomic studs and 3bond sealer Standard Ford head gasket.
  20. Had a TOG delivered today at work for a customers G6ET. As everyone,was eager to have a look. Initial impression is quality welds,decent weight in the stainless...duel cats and of course the V bands. mufflers are humungas !!! Can't really see it being subdued.. Fitting it up week after next.. So..stay tuned. I'll be totally unbiased. Me personally..I'm running the advanced 4inch dump down to a custom 3.5 mild steel system.stainless hi~tec mufflers made to the exhausts shops specs. Twin 3 inch outlet. Nice deep deep note, no drone or booming. Initially a bit too loud so had a couple of silencers fitted in the tips.. Fixed.. Just sound different to the norm out there.. Maybe cams have something to do with that lol
