It is..

Its march hows this coming along?

[straughsberry]

Let me assure everyone it is coming along. I (and others) have invested a lot of time and money into this build and have no plans to abandon it.

We are still waiting for some custom bits and pieces to be finished off for the head to be completed. It's part of a build like this.

Cheers fellas.

Good man steph

I new u would not let us down

This is going to be dam fine when it is done

It's an awesome build mate and im sure it'll be damn quick and make some good numbers but there's proven roads which take a fraction of the time and don't cost the world, what extra are you expecting to get out of it with the way you've gone?

[RIP_HSV]

has any testing been done on the snort manifold? what power is it rated to?

Efficiency is what we're hoping to gain by these "little" tweaks. And at the end of the day, it should mean a little extra power for the same boost. That and I like to tweak So instead of mid-high 600rwkw, I'm hoping we can get well into the 700's through the auto and decent converter at around 35psi. If it works, we'll either look like semi-geniuses or I'll look like a complete twat.

It was designed with peak power in mind. I liked the idea of removable runners so we can tweak them too. I haven't heard of it used on anything of this magnitude but that's not to say it hasn't.

Where abouts in Melbourne is this car based it seems like it will be one tuff beast love to see it in real life when its done , been folowing this build for a while reminds me of my car been a year in the build hope to get it back in a couple of weeks expecting 500 rwkw, when are you expecting to finish yours keep us updated.

[straughsberry]

Cheers m8. Car is based in the Northern burbs. 500rwkw would be very nice indeed. The build completion date was last year but boys being boys, the bar keeps being risen. It doesn't help having the likes of Spiko and Bev to spur things on.
