No, Mr Freud, what it showed was just one method of comparing the size of one's cock.

That was just the quarter mile version.

But hey, does it really matter whether it's an eigth, a quarter, or a whole mile long as long as we're competing (or should that be comparing), right?

Yee-haaa, when does the season start?

Just a few grazed knuckles, mate, but worked out ok, no real drama's, if you're doing yours give us a shout. I've just done a bit more with the widebands. It's been a bit long winded due to me borrowing a mates 2 post lift when not in use. But I've got all the cables in the cab now so nearly there on that one.

I've just got an magnaflow x-pipe for the exhaust, but TBH it looks like a pile of st so I might end up making my own anyway.

Still mithering over which heads/intake at the moment.

Have you sorted a cam yet or still wondering?

have emailed krs to see if they can give me a price on a 220/224 with springs etc and then going to decide whether to take a few days and do it myself (once weather is nice) or see if anywhere wants to take the work on. Keeping intake stock for now with the only plans to look at MAF replacement at a later time

I`ll be using the APS kit smile (but a hybrid version with larger turbos) so it was interesting to make an almost direct comparison against what I was running.
Its as I expected, a soft launch and a high ES.

We drive Monaros, we've never experienced traction.

Sorry Mate, I was just being flippant as usual, Stiggy is a great foil, please forgive. I'm really looking forward to seeing the outcome of your project, looks as though Harry Oz is going to have a bit of real competition on the dyno then Jez? When is the next Monaro/HSV Dyno Day. Just after you shake yours down I suppose?

Not had a dyno session with it yet, but I'd guess FW figure around 510-535.
I'd hope it would be somewhere around 400 at the wheels?
Feels good and quick, but room for improvement. When I get the chance I'm aiming to get back for the 9psi pulley.

No prob mate, I totally agree with you and its just a bit of fun

Never be in the same league as Harryoz, his car has so much power in reserve, but it`ll have enogh to do the job. (Currently talking to MIRA, looking for some windtunnel time to see if we can smooth the `ol gal` up a bit.
