Good to see it's all goin, would be nice to know what power and torque it's pushing
Once the tune is a bit better it will definitely visit a Dyno for a comparison to the previous setup

Awesome Deuce. :spot on:
how long since you last drove it?
drop me a PM when your hitting the track next, i'd be keen to check it out.

I drove it a week ago, but it was over fueling and the timing was wrong. I haven't had a decent drive since new Years day.
All going well, it will get a bit of a run on Friday.
I'll PM you when it next goes to the track (maybe one of the upcoming Test and tune events)

Stage 1 of tuning is completed!! (Immortality tune)
I got some good kms done on Friday and all seems well.

I'm now looking forward to seeing some EGA so that we know how safe it is and how much further we could take it.
And of course a power run on the Dyno for some bragging rights.

It was a good feeling. With cruise control at 100kph it feels no different than before the engine swap. Better if anything!

I was looking for any excuse to take it for little cruises all over town today, LOL. I have completed almost 200km's so far.

I am quite happy that it has retained 95% of it's street manners instead of being a race car that sucks to drive on the road. And I think 4 of the remaining 5% can be sorted in the tune, so project "Super Stock" appears to be a success

I forgot to add Collingwood sucks haha :p

I'm glad everything is working out as you've planned. Especially after the amount of effort you have put into it. Look forward to seeing your dyno results soon.

Only for the first Quarter, for the next 3 the Bombers Sucked haha, :)

Yeap, I will definitely post Dyno figures once it's been on there. Hopefully I will get an overlay from my last run: 304" vs 355"

I got a couple of tyres today,
Here is a teaser pic:

I also sorted out the re-production centre caps, although they could be at least a few weeks before they are ready.

Hey Beaker,

Yeah, I needed duellies to get enough traction for the new engine's massive performance, LOL.

p.s I might try it out at winter drag wars, I will be sure to let you know if I do
