Speedy Wedge

[Number 7]

No, it's not some new form of engine tuning - just proving that Wedges can still cut it against more modern TVR's. I surprised myself by winning a prize at the recent Continental Meeting at Zolder. Ok, it's only 3rd prize (in the fastest lap competition), but I'm well happy as I'm in a class with all RV8 cars of 4.3l and above.

There's also a short video (not great quality) of one of my acceleration runs, showing a Chimp how it's done.

Well done,
Just out of interest what spec if your car/engine.

Hi Leigh, it's a 4.3 in a 400se, converted to BV, H214 cam, slightly raised CR, 45mm trumpets with opened manifold to match, 72mm throttle body, higher flow-rate injectors with a MoTeC ecu controlling the mapped fuel and ignition (via a locked dizzy).

Always thought a BV 4.3 would be nice in a Wedge.

Hopefully will have my 4.5 BV in the racer next month.
