Any time, I think I had pushed to date a very sub par fuel system to its limit and backed up a 10 but was it lean.... Yes, was it dumb, probably but how else to u set weird and wonderful benchmarks without bending the limits lol

The topic is very debateable as everything is but a supportive fuel system is in the lower spectrum of the mod price area so why not just do it for piece of mind

I'll put a walbro 255 in it before I get it tuned. The money wasn't the issue (what is another $300??) but more I don't like just putting parts in for sh*ts and giggles unless I know they are actually needed.

Cheers for the info.

As I said this is a well worn path and as far as budget racing goes I think iam right up there ( 400+rwkw & 132mph ) off $6500

Just remember if a dyno reads a number and typical parts have not run out would u say the part is a "freak" or the dyno is reading a touch high .... ;)

Well aware of dynos reading differently, heinrich runs his in 8F I'm pretty sure so expecting to subtract 40 rwkw to get the real figure. I used to see between 235 and 265 rwkw on my old car depending on which place we tweaked the tune on, just used it as a baseline and nothing else.

This was a cracker we had in

BA xr6T and we even wacked a new petrol filter on as it looked old as hell for nothing just to rule that out of the equation

Tuned elsewhere and u can see how far we went until we aborted the run

Good 320 in that bad boy hey lol

Found this in the glovebox after but also not the tune place, these guys just did a run after a service

Big set of balls to be on the gas in the deep end there hey, some would say a opperator should know better
