Chatham Dockside this Thursday?

[Phil7667]

Any of you lovely people going to make it this Thursday? We had a good turn out last time.

I was talking to Goldie about this, earlier. He (and a few others) can't go, as they are off to Silverstone for the GP. I'll check to see what we're up to....

Weather permitting I'll be there.

[snowwolf]

May be able to go to this as well, what time?

[Phil7667]

I'll be there just before 7.30 as long as it isn't chucking it down

[ARAF]

Looks like we should be there to eat. I'm going to be at Brands in the afternoon, seeing how the Ute goes on track.

Good luck with that! Will the new headers add to grunt, as well as volume?

No, they won't do either. I think the cam restricts more than the standard headers, so no more power, and as I have left the silencers and cats alone, there's no more noise. My first impression on start-up was that it has a slightly deeper note though.

Forgive my ignorance - but what does going to all the effort of changing the headers achieve, then?

The truck is a long term project. Theoretically, the headers would fit. First try at fitting showed that you also need the cats for the VXR8 headers. Now they are fitted with the VXR8 cats. If the theory had been wrong, then we could have been waiting for a month, for correct headers to arrive from Australia, or having some made up. Now that they are on, they can stay on, waiting for the next bit of work, which should be the DOD delete (you don't have this complication), and will probably happen next year.

Ian - I have rarely felt more out of my depth, and ignorant. Please bring a powerpoint presentation and models with you to Chatham on Thursday, so clueless charity workers such as myself can start to learn! ;-)

This is nothing - and anyway, I'll just give the keys to Monkfish, and have them do it.

Wait until some of them on here start getting into programming the ECU. Mind boggling!
