It’s been nearly a week of ownership now and I have a few questions.

1. Did a 2004 CV8 come with a strut brace as standard?
2. What is a good ¼ mile time and terminal speed for a modified Monaro (500+ BHP)?
3. What is the best time recorded on this forum for a Monaro?
4. Scan Gauges, does anyone elses sometimes reset all output to intake air tempreture only?
5. Nitrous Oxide anyone running it? If so what kit from what supplier and with what results?

TIA (Thanks In Advance)

I did look at your profile. That car is a gem it took a lot of week end work to pay for all the extras on that car.
Is it running 6 or 12 psi at the mo. Has it still got the air fuel metter.

Because past about 450rwhp the MAF has no resolution and you are no longer using it to measure airflow as its exceeded its stated application/rating. (ie) He is being sensible.

MAP(mafless) has no such limit.

Hi Mate,

You can just turn up and pay on the day and take pot luck. Have a look at the RWYB thread all the info you need will be on there, I think. I have an advanced ticket which guarantees you a start, you do this online at the Pod's web site.
