Some ideas (not all of them brilliant ):

• Non-nostril bonnet
• Remove the rear spoiler
• Remove the wipers?
• Tape up some panel gaps

As you can tell, I'm of the mind a little bit of an aero improvement might be all you need. That or favourable weather (cold, no headwind)

Unfortunately as Paul has said, I ran without my rear spoiler (worth a couple of mph by the way ). Other ideas are good and along the lines of what I was thinking. Hell, plenty of tape and a tail wind I might even see 175mph

Cheers mate, appreciate it

Looking forward to seeing yours up and running next year, particularly as I'm interested in centri chargers too In fact, I'm looking forward to seeing Stick's 454 running properly too!

Hmmm, now you mention it, I have just remembered it was for sale, wasn't it?! Maybe he's going to treat himself to some classic muscle. If my memory serves, I think he has a thing for Chevy Nova's

He's bought an armoured car, and is also looking at Scorpions. I think he's going to attack PH towers.

I don't know if he still has the VXR8....

Oh, in that sense, thought you meant the LS3 top end. I'm only ported heads away from that lot
