We got a atomic chromemoly one that is sh!tloads thicker so we fixed it good & proper. I'll message ya when im up there if ya want to come in & have a looksie, hopefully it'll still be on the dyno so I can see it at full tilt. Will have abit of fun juice left in the tank on friday night so should add abit more fun for the drive. lolBloke make sure you get ARP flexplate bolts as well for the stock ones are made of sh*t metal! Torque the ARP flexplate bolts to 80ft/lb with some 242 loctite applied sparingly.Ive run a Nizpro laminated flexplate installed as above for the last 3 yrs with no issuesCheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qik1 Silver Donating Members 2,720 Member For: 16y 6m 5d Gender: Male Location: Loitering in SEQ Posted 17/12/09 07:48 AM Author Share Posted 17/12/09 07:48 AM The car finally lived up to its potential today with 470rwkw on 98 & then 535rwkw with about a 15 -20% mix of toulene in with a tank of 98. It was over 35deg in cairns today so with a good fuel mix & a cooler day who knows. Cant wait to drive this thing now. I was blown away when they told me what it made I had no expectations of that with such a dilute mix. They said by 4500rpm it was already up to 480rwkw so its making power early & hard. To say im excited doesnt descride it. Theres plenty left in it by what they were telling me. They wanted race fuel up there but it still has only about 1500klm on it & I need it to drive to brissy next week so we'll keep the real fun for the new year. What a christmas present.
