Had some problems on the Dyno,
Ended up re-building the whole thing for the following
weekend.
Did a gentle settling in Pass ( way too Rich ) and got 10.4 sec
and 130.5 MPH.
- turned Up wick a little on second run and got 10.36 sec
and 129.88 MPH .
but checking in Pits found something was wrong and
wanted to pull motor down to check before any more runs so that was all we got.
Cam, the twin blower set up made Heaps more boost
than I imagined. The Excessive boost caused Big Problems in the Engine.
Mike's development has Now gone beyond what a Type 1 case can
deliver.
Mike has decided to move to the next stage of his Drag car development.............. we will all have to wait and see.
and yes he will get into the high 9's, but this then puts doubt on the chassis ability to keep it straight - will get Hairy.!
Does any body know what is the fastest beetle powered beetle in aust and or the world? (eg must be powered by a type one standard style case (eg alum of mag case)) I have heard that a qld car has a done a 10.1 with a turboed 1916? any other ideas?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
