Re: New boy from Melbourne Australia
Engine is a bit different, it's out of an Australian GT production race car. It run a GT supercar ally block with GT heads and motec M800 ecu with a 6spd tremec and winters quick change rear end. Engine makes 564hp with 11.5 comp on 98 octane pump fuel, 587 on 110 octane pump fuel. After chassis is fabbed will remove engine to drop comp to 9.7 to 1 so i can fit a kenney bell lc3.6 intercooled blower. Hope to make about 800hp, i want over 600hp at the rear wheels but needs to be streetable.

Re: New boy from Melbourne Australia
raining here so watching sprint cup practise hoping Ambrose will finally pick up a win, as long as Jimmys team don't pay his team to let Jimmy pass. Not sure what i am going to do with my 32 dearbourne as our rego laws have changed and they think a blown 540 is to much power. Luckly my f100 is registed but i still need to get an engineers report on modifactions which costs about $1,500 to $3,000. The32 would cost over $4,000 for engineering ,things are quite strict here but the modified cars that are one the road are safe which is good. The main reason for this is that personal injury insurance is part of our rego, so if your in a crash and it's your fault and someone is injured they can't sue you the goverment takes care of them.
