I think he is just trying to out-do Ben Ford ...... yep and he has suceeded !!
that looks mad simon  but are you trying to compensate for something lacking ??  or is the robust size of this intake
funnel supposed to attact the crowds attention so that they dont notice the cherries

Yeah Wayne.... I'm feeling kind of insecure around Ben these days..... So I had to come up with something.... When I lash out and buy myself one of
those fancy 'BigWig' Wings off Barry, then I'll take a can opener to it and put the funnel through it....
Or maybe I just sell it all and buy a 4x4....

Yep I'll be there Doug.... Heading out to the shed shortly to load up....
And this is how I mounted the 36-1 wheel....
With spacers between the wheel and the pulley (that Dave Stoker made for me back the early 90's!).. The spacers are needed to get the sensor to line
up nicely with the centre of the wheel and clear the pulley.

Intake worked well, in fact.... It works extremely well... The car felt very strong and way cleaner AFR's... I also put more fuel in too, which has
not effected the low speed AFR's, but the high speed/boost AFR's are looking very nice with no more lean out in the top end....
But not all news from tonights racing is good.... The clutch is not handling the boost.
Time for an upgrade in the clutch department..... Suggestions?

I was wondering what was the issues getting it off the line.... Still a 14.0 with clutch slip is encouraging !

Yeah it was pretty bad Doug.... Just could not get any load on the engine at all.... Out of the hole, the car was pretty good.... Had the measure of
all the opponents to third gear, but in top when the torque would pile on, the clutch would drop it's bundle.... Thought it better to load up and go
home.... Rang Rodney this morning, and I have a new Stage 3 on the way.... The KEP Gold disc will be more than likely ok according to Rodney, so if
all is good, I'll dust it off, and put it all back together....
Gonna fit a BERG welded fan while the engine is out.... I have chanced the likelyhood of the fan exploding long enough... Might even give the engine
tin a coat of paint and some new intake seals while I'm there..... Crazy I know.
