Regarding you car being silent... Can it be that your air filter starves the engine?
We dynotested a small block with around 550 hp and when we changed from the filter you have to the double hight filter we gained 100HP !!!
Like this you mean
The filter surface area is now larger than the double height filter!

100 bhp gain, sounds good to me Mines 6 1/2" tall with the top side filter like Stig's.
PS when you get the Vid's sorted I hope we can hear that blower sound !!!!!

Great to see the car today and the blast through Berks, Bucks and Oxon with a few numpties being Ultimad. For those who have only seen the pics I can tell you that the quality of the work is exceptional- well done stig. Perhaps this will make domster get his started sooner.
Thats it for nice comments- abuse starts again next week!

Are you feeling unwell mate
Was a good laugh. The sight of TWO Ultima's being filled up on either side of the Optimax pump caused a bit of a stir. Not to mention the double-takes as we trundled through Henley
Btw. Gave it a bit of 'large' up the Fairmile and the 'charger really got going. The noise is phenominal! It takes on a real edge, not a whine at all, more like a Pagani or Ferrari howl than the growl of the Chevy.
Christ knows what full throttle is gonna be like

Ah, but I like my engines to last more than 2k miles
I was especially impressed the way you gave it a bootfull when the engine was stone cold. I swear I saw shrapnell from your piston rings flying out the exhausts - not to mention the James Bondesque smoke cloud that your motor guffed out
Has no-one ever told you to bring the motor up to temp. before giving it some?
Boosted LS1 said: Stig, of interest how much are ultima's to insure appx. Do you guys all use the same company? You can mail off line if you like. I'm over 40 so it should be cheap!
In the UK, a specialist policy with restricted mileage (say 5k) would run in at about 750 I reckon. Obviously location/security/driving experience (they will probably ask what other high performance cars you've had) will all play a part too.
