Finger followers?



I had mine removed and replaced with CWCesque Lady Fingers.

Speaking of which he's been eerily silent recently. Do you think he bored the Fins into doing away with him.





Here's to the Fins then.



Up the FINS! If you know what I mean

Too many people keep mentioning the SRR as if its the bottom line which it is not, its an independant line which is great for tuners competing etc., but if you want something which holds serious water, I'd recommend you go to one of the above two.






Yea, thanks for that mate.

Sorry mate, didnt mean it in a negative tone. You know what I mean.

If its any constellation, the SRR rolling road is one of the best rolling road setups I've seen! (but its still not a hub dyno, you know my bias in that charlie )

No way will that tiddler 3.6 make 373bhp when Whitey's Mighty RR 4.0 Tusc (and it is VERY healthy - Air / Fuel ratio blob on all the way through) - (www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=212748&f=152&h=0) and Whiteys torque is 20 odd ft/lbs less too.

No chance not from 3.6!

Most SRR have seen from a SP6 is 360bhp (please correct me if wrong charlie).

ASH - yes hub dyno best - Wortec get upto 440bhp for mine and > 400ft/ of torque on the hub dyno they use for simlar spec engine to mine.

This 3.6 was a very dodgy engine, the run was done BEFORE the engine rebuild, it would be interesting to see what could have been wrong (or right ) in there before the rebuild...
