Did they run V8 eata again? If so what did it pull?

No mate they changed the plugs but still didn't fix it so parked it for the night. Other than the VL, that lunched itself in the end, all turbo ford 6's were down :( Cryptic had a major lean out and they think maybe a pump died or something. Just sucked in the end when we saw LS after LS rev out clean to limiter and make good numbers. Pity you missed those 1000hp runs.

The Hi Torque Dyno Day was one of the best put together events ive been too. Its a credit to them and they all worked thier bums off over the course of the day. Good BBQ too :)

Was a tough day for Turbo Fords. In hindsight, my goal of 580hp on 20psi pump tune with no preperation before hand was getting ahead of myself. Car hasnt seen a dyno for over 6 months. It served its purpose, has motivated me to get it to where it should be. 500hp was all it saw. Clint thought 3rd gear was slipping. Will no more this week when we commence the E85 tune. CRYPTC did run lean, but then drove home on the freeway tough as nails and didnt miss a beat. Typical. It was having injector issues during the week that mustnt have gotten sorted. that's EFLEX fo ya.

Was a shame to see Max have troubles with V8 EATA. Had made 890hp on Thursday night but just didnt want to play ball on Saturday.

And what can you say about Grahams 4L VL. What a car. 1140hp then gets keen for 50psi. BOOM. And still a smile on his face.

If your not doing anything this Sunday, come down to Turbowerx in Eagle Farm for a look at thier dyno day. Im hoping to see 600rwkw's but might aim a bit lower so I leave with a smile.

Good to meet somke of the forum members.

Dazzler was a hit.

As I said GTX 42 was on 20psi 98 tune. Don't know why :dontknow: maybe Karl can shed some light on that one. Seemed to be a few cars having issues there today.

No real reason to be honest, just being a pu$$y. Id wanted to upgrade my 2x 044's before throwing E85 at the GTX45. Waiting on Process West's new bit of gear to come. That will be next week. After disappointing myself and my tuner on Saturday, ive decided to do an E85 tune this week on the 044's for now.

Agree, was an awesome day. I nearly caught a bit of barra sump from where I was sitting, lol.

Good on ya for chucking it on the rollers mate. Being a Mainline, there's no hiding and cooking the books with 8F. The guys stapped and chocked all the cars the same way - no bs game playing.

Hope to get to the Turbowerx day also this Sunday. With a bit of luck, the turbo falcs can do us proud this time :)

Sorry I missed the chart on the first run but as said, it went 1140rwhp. Check out the spike on the graph!

Yeah, no there was no BS.

We had wondered if moving the dyno with a forklift may have upset it some how. I can't recal any car making its goal on the day. Even Dallas's ute was down 60hp from the previous night.

Possibly. Gup was the big winner though. 780hp at Summernats - 860hp at Hi-Torque :)

My new head studs arrived today. Pick up the E85 this arvo and tune tomorrow.



Really hoping that 3rd gear isnt slipping or Sunday will be a non event for me.

What about that turbo silver Late model camira ute? Dialled in 950hp made 950.1. Anyway some photos of grahams, what a champ.
