Very funny Eric, woos indeed, would rather keep it to be a reliable car than 636 brake with the car falling apart thereafter...

Greg, my engine has been a project for some time with LSV, the oroginal block was producing 450 brake & 500 foot poiunds at the hubs when ukhsv sorted the fueling at Abbey Motorsport, then it produced 500 brake & 700 foot pounds before the core plug was blown out at LSV dyno. Now with new block and a lowered compression ratio (8.5:1) mated to forged pistons & con rods it should last with a smooth tune. LSV could no doubt produce 670 brake and 600 foot pounds (I have a dyno sheet to prove it)but with without reliability.

Waiting 'scaled' BHP/TORQUE/AFR print outs from LSV, will post them up when I get them...

LSV were having their Dyno serviced before Xmas so I'll have to be patient for print outs in the NY. Car is quite exciting in this weather, what I love is that it no longer barrels sideways when traction breaks so when it spins in 4th, just ease off the gas a tadge and re-apply full power. It seems to be quicker now than when delivered, all in all its sorted and drives very well and whilst it is somewhat noisey it is a tadge quieter & refined now being in tune. Waiting for some better weather & foreign roads before I explore 6th gear...

Did you retune it Greg? good power results, impressed & envious.

[V8HSV]

Yes, I lost 32 brake from an arcing ht lead recently, I think a new set of ht leads annually is to be recc

Hi Greg, no power when hammered, lift of the juice and it was fine, just had the feeling I could not 'gun' it, replace leads & all back to normal plus more power
