Congratulations Dave that's one incredible effort & one well set up T. Is it still running standard suspension or do you have a different setup for the track?

Thanks guy's, it forums like this that make us push these harder, to find out limits, and to find faults with these cars, so we all go faster,

I will try to answer the questions,

the suspenion is stock all round (12000klm old) shocks are stock as well.

the car was putting out 427rkws it was having valve spring isues, I was going to take it to 450 as I had it at the dyno comp, but the valves would float and the lifters would pump up, so it would drop to about 4 cylinders for a few seconds, I should have spent some time machining the lifters so they can't pump up, but I was lazy, left everything to the last minute as usual and it had isues. (note to myself do thing properly next time)

for the best because I would have been kicked off for not having a paracute (my ultimate goal)

Mods; c4, 3000 stall, 60lb injectors, atomic valve springs, Process west stage 3 race kit (including the plenum, can't be to bad)

t51r turbo, 6boost exhaust manifold, 4inch exhaust, (By Mick Zamit racing) 10.5 inch X 28 slicks with front runers, 8inch rims, no pas seat no back seat,some other little things out because I have not put then back in yet since the cage has been done. fuel tank in the boot now, 19.5 psi boost. race fuel c16(never used that before, she is good sh-t)!!!! Dominator convertor,

A speical mention to Northern Beaches Auto electrics, they donated the turbo and manifold, for the car, just because of there pasion for these cars, not for advertisement, so anyone in Mackay and suroundings, when you need some auto work done (including fitting of intercoolers and other mechenical, go to someone that loves these cars, owns these cars, I am not just talking about them, I am talking about all around Australia, if they don't own one of these cars, there behind the 8 ball to start with.

will do a leak down and comp test on the motor, and see if she is still sweet and then I will decide weather to punish it a bit more, stock motor kicked off for not having a paracute has a nice ring to it.

Well done Dave, that's an awesome result to be very proud of.

It just goes to show, in the right hands the BA motor can produce impressive results, over a long period of time.
