The next time, we run at the track, our aim is a 7 second pass. Its been doing 8's for a while now, with many dramas, since the conversion to methanol, the car has showed alot more potential in running the 7 second pass.

This thing looks awesome. Saw it at the last dyno day you had. Bet it would sound great too.

Nick, unfortunately we had a few little issues we were trying to sort out by the dyno day, which we had come across the night before on the dyno, hence why we didnt fire it up on the dyno day, also with the amount of cars that were attending the day, we would have been running till midnight if we ran the drag car up on the rollers.

Anyway just an update, whilst weve decided to take this little bit of winter weather as a holiday, we have removed the engine from the vehicle, as we need to know exactly the amount of horsepower/torque the engine has on an engine dyno, so we can physically workout the convertor loss.

We are currently deciding which datalogger system, we are wanting to run monitoring everything and everything we possably can, with all this information we will be able to set the car up precise, which will make our job a little easier when running the desired time we want to achieve.

Just an update the data logging kit arrived a few weeks ago, now to test the engine to its full potential with a new combination on the engine dyno next weekend. Then its install the data logger kit, fit the engine, go over the car and its off to Sydney for a competition meeting in 3 weeks time.

Very nice, some crazy work you have done there.

Haha nice... in that 3rd pic it looks more like a supercharger with an angine attached rather than en engine with a charger...

Just another update, engine combo has changed, as we speak the engine is on the engine dyno, i will post up power figures very soon. All i can say its a weapon.
