Not bad for an LS2 and a Harrop 122...

[GaryNoGrip]

Still love the number 45's time! Hope he had a "baby on board" sticker!

[ringram]

Well Im only looking at VE+ performance as the girly lightweight 2 seaters run their own comp

So 3rd this year, 3mph more required for first place. Thats where my efforts are being focused this year..
Be very scared

[stigmundfreud]

yeah but all Gareth has to do is turn up the boost - a simple 20 minute job

and where/what is this comp you speak of?

I actually turned the boost down. Heat soak is bad enough as it is.

Stig, did you find out whether that CV8 is your old one. Did you fit a milltek exhaust to it?

[stigmundfreud]

I did fit a miltek,the only phtos I have I don't have the plate on it I am pretty sure though but I didn't have that rear spoiler

is there any way of checking what plates have been on a car? I presume a HPI check would?

Remember, Gareth has a 4 seater.

As it's only a bit of fun, I guess you can change it again, to just including grey/silver cars that haven't been wrapped.

Anyone fancy going back four or so years, to debate what is, and isn't classed as standard/stock?

[Yanayaya]

This is very impressive and makes me really want to get my Monaro tuned up for sure. I'd like to know more about the technicalities of what's been done also. Well done!

[granjuiceymoose]

Astra Gsi is that at 171.59???

A VX/VT is not a VE mate.

Totally different CdA once Gareth has his ute on the line then the CdA will be pretty much the same.

[stigmundfreud]

so now coefficency is coming into it

What next moon gravitational pull on black cars giving 1mph more speed?!

[ringram]

You know yours will do probably well over 170 stock mate..

[stigmundfreud]

I know, I want to run!

should be interesting after the RR day no doubt I'll find the fuelling is st and you'll be ready to help me part with money

[ringram]

Yeah stock they do 405rwhp which isnt much more than Stick's LS1 with ITB

[stubbsey]

Nice Gary!!!!

You forgot power to weight.

[ringram]

No I didnt squire.

Has no effect on RWHP..

Has a large effect on performance though

Out of interest do you actually know what 3mph is going to need or are you just rolling the dice.
I'm estimating another 30rwhp, difficult to find at your level without either compromising the car or emissions, or both.

[ringram]

Ye of little faith.

My launch sucked and clutch slips a tad.
So that plus some other odds and sods should see that number bested.

It's where the power sits in rpm range too.

[stigmundfreud]

plus there was heat soak and the man on the moon farted

[ringram]

You Sir are a disease. I am the cure. To paraphrase a wise man.

Here is the "Jesus Stick". 30rwhp, pah, puny. Plus as I say its where the BHP sits in the RPM range. "Jesus" will fix both.
