If we go better then bonus & even better if it drives home on its its own power. with the big turbo/exhaust housing, the plenum & std diff gears we're not sure how its all gonna work together as far as getting off the line so only testing will tell. we have all the parts to change as necassary so the first time is to get the feel for it & give us a base line to work with. We'll start at 20 psi or so and max of 25 on e85 so plenty of power with heaps & heaps of room to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just such a nice box and has worked well so far considering what we've put it through. Once we race it should give us an idea whether its gonna work as a long term thing or if we're gonna need to make the swap to a th400 or glide sooner rather than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 4m 11d Gender: Not Telling Posted 29/07/12 11:32 PM Share Posted 29/07/12 11:32 PM I personally think that being ZF equipped, is what really makes your car very special John, and really puts it in that supercar category. Good luck with it, but I don't think there really is any luck involved anymore. As the R&D has been a long process of elimination. Which I'm sure will give you the results that you are looking for.

We're just gonna run gate pressure for a 1000klm and keep the good covers off until after the proper tune because it'll be on/off til then but still should be fun. From the vids it sounds cool with the verniers but will get some descent footage when I pick it up tomorrow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
