i would happily recomend the Maxxis MAV1. I am running them on the wagon and they provide a good balance between grip and tyre wear. Mine are nearly 3 years old now and still have about 40% tread on the rears. Obviously I dont do burnouts but with over 300rwhp they get some pretty tough launches...

What comp and exhaust are you running? I've also got oversized valves in the head as well which may help and the only other thing I can think of is the way the cam is dialed in may effect the peak power/revs. Also the power curve is so fat that its making 275rwhp by only 3950rpm and rises...

The TP high rise Dual plane makes more torque in the lower to mid rev range. The COME makes more peak power. With a 355, 10-1 comp, 286 cam and Tri-Y's I made 332rwhp at 6500rpm on the COME manifold but that dropped to 300rwhp at 6000rpm on the TP manifold. However the my car is much faster on...

Hey Foamy. I know it will do it on the track because there is still some reserve power in first to use but as it is to get that time on the street its a 150% focus to get the best launch without spin and not duff the first gear shift point. It all just happens so quickly. I thought about...

It wont be boring mate. Dont forget the holden 355 when set up can produce **** loads of torque down low. Makes for good daily driving. Plus keeping the comp down keeps your options open to a bit of boost later on if you should get caried away. Good luck.

If you are only looking for around 250kw at the fly then you wont need anywhere near a 286 cam. There should be a smaller roller cam that will get you there without having to run a high stall behind it and you wont need to change your stock manifold either. If you run too big a cam you will...

I was renovating a rental property in 2006 when some druggo rejects moved in next door. I was on 3 months leave to do the place up and as quick as I was working they were destroying it. The usual stuff crap thrown in the pool, plants wrecked, fences damaged and windows broken. The little kids...

0-60mph time is now down to 4.179secs. A set of ET streets and the new Torque power dual plane hi rise manifold the latest changes. This was with a 2.05sec 60foot time so there is still room for improvement on that. I've lost 25rwhp off the peak power from what I had on the COME manifold but...

Another week of driving it under me and it is certainly obvious that the torque in the lower revs is quite a bit better than the COME. I kind of pulled away from the lights in a hurry the other morning to stick it to my Harley riding brother in law in the other lane and thought I did a good...

get some highway max's! Easier said than done in WA.

245/40/18 $500 each. Ouch.

Just bought some 245/40/18 ET streets and would like a ball park idea on how long they would last under normal driving, no hard cornering and one hard launch per day. This is on a 355ci 420hpfw T700 300rpm stall and 3.73 gears. Any ideas guys?

Well I bit the bullet and changed over to a Torque power hi rise dual plane manifold and 1000cfm throttle body. After all the hype about them I thought what the hell. Initially however I dropped from 332rwhp at 6500rpm with the COME to 300rwp at 6000rpm with the TP. There certainly is a fair bit...

Latest result 4.558secs 0-100klh in a VN wagon. 355ci. 4 speed auto. Serious traction problems. Recorded on a Gtec. Other times have been 4.65, 4.68, 4.7 4.72 you get the point. 0-60mph best time was 4.38secs on the way to the 4.558sec 0-100klh run.

The roof of the plenum looks very low and with the runners still quite vertical I would say they have been cropped on a 45 deg angle inside to allow free flow of air. In effect they are probably even shorter than they look. I agree with some of the others, go the TP dual plane and an active...

4.388secs. 0-60mph. But I'll be buggered if I didnt delete the wrong run on the G-tec so no photo. Until I can repeat it my previous 4.454sec with photo still stands. DOH! Considering some more power upgrades in January so it will be interesting how this will effect the time on street tyres as...

You could eat nothing but pure protein all day mate but if you dont train hard enough or correctly you wont make any gains. The protein doesnt just turn into muscle by itself. Muscles only get bigger as a responce to working them out in a manner that the muscle is required to repair itself and...

At the very least you need to incorporate squats and deadlifts into your routine as well as the bench press. For basic bulking up you will find a million training programs on the internet. I believe the ones that focus on power lifting or olympic weight lifting will be the best for what you...

Just watch which Alpine you buy and for the matter, any brand. Ive seen exactly the same Alpine speaker cones being sold as of one the cheaper Jaycar range. Obviously with different branding on them. The Jaycar ones were $60 a set and the Alpine were $130. This was a couple of years ago but it...

I see a photo like this and realise how old the head is starting to look.

Sleep with his horrible f#t B@#ch wife. Tell him about it and then seeing as you will share a common distressing and nausiating condition he might be more willing to see your side of the existing problem. Either that or you will not be worried about reimbursement while you spend the rest of your...

What were your 60ft, 330ft, 660ft times and/or speeds?

Been almost 2 months guys how is every body going? I myself havent made any real improvements but still enjoying it.

Never taken a suppliment yet. Eggs, Tuna and chicken breasts for protein . Also skim milk powder is 35% protein and about $6 a kilo. Make up a shake out of it alot cheaper than protein powders. Heaps of vegatables particularly the green sort to help with iron levels. Any "low G" food for energy...

Had some good results myself from a 5x5 routine particularly helping me to break thru some barriers and improve core strength. Interested to see how you find it.

5 days a week combination of cardio and weights. Still mixing up my programs and luvin it.

Stig. The one run I did do on a private road I managed to pull an 8.3sec for the 1/8th mile at 94.75mph. Once again this was off a 2.5sec 60ft time but only a 4.6sec to the 60mph. I ran out of road and started slowing up before the 1000ft mark but still pulled a 10.56 at 105mph. I would love to...

4.454secs 0-60mph 2.52sec 60ft time from soft start. Still on 235/40/18 streeters. Photo attached.

Havent got them yet still running the 235/40/18's. CMP still having trouble getting them in the 255/50/16 size that I want to fit to my original rims. Hoping to see flat fours when I do get them. I'm running Fe2-ish suspension a 2800-3000rpm high stall and 3.73 gears. Still very streetable which...

Would be great to see the 0-60mph time with minimal wheel spin. Should be well into the low fours.

Starting to show some good times there mate. As for getting the start right and the first gear change I share the frustrations as I have had times ranging from 4.45secs to over 5secs and none of them with 60foot times below 2.3 secs. Most of them about 2.5secs for 60ft in an effort to avoid...

I predict that this time next year it will be most of the way towards a higher powered cruiser. Go the wagon.:D

If thats all you are doing I dont think you will notice anything at all. Save your money for petrol

IF your planning on running straight gas then you should really pick a gas specific cam that allows for the slow burn nature of the gas and maximises dynamic compression to get the most out of the 112 octane. The 286 may work against you in this regard. Cant quote you one off hand but plenty of...

I dont get it. Why dont you just read the title of the post and not open it if you are sick of reading about the same thing. Some people havent had the privellage of reading every prior post in the history of this forum and dont always get what they want out of a search. My suggestion to...

Out of those two its the Simpsons for me but over all I love Futurama. That Leila is hot for only having one eye.

A BOBY kit makes your car look like an English coppers hat.

Now your starting to sound like my kids.:D

Its your car buddy you do what you want. I say F%$K the knockers. And... Just because some one has money doesnt mean they have to buy the best of everything. There is too many people in this world hanging **** on people and forcing their opinion on others. What happened to manners. OK so...

I wasnt so sure after the touch up tune if there was much of a difference other than the plugs staying clean but the proof is in the pudding I guess with all my times since showing better excelleration in that area of the rev range. The problem is we get used to the car being faster and it...
