Got myself a trailer! Bought it off Brad (buggy brad) gonna give it a coat of paint and fix a few little things up before i start using it... its
solid as a rock and it doubles as a big ass box trailer! i'm also going to modify the ladder racks a little and use them as part of a frame to close
it in. I am going to make a canvas cover for it and use it to camp in at the track.

Well, yeah... I guess if we didn't need to pull the engine down anyway to replace the dodgy case we would probably just leave the cam as there is
nothing wrong with it and i'm happy with the power it produces but in saying that, We might as well see how much more we can get out of it with a cam
change while its apart. With alot of head porting and a cam change we should see good results....

trailer has been tarted......
Bought my trailer home today, the list of things we did include: wheel bearings, brakes, scrapped the lidless tool box, moved the front one to the
back and replaced it with a jerri can holder, fixed the busted hinges, replaced the jockey wheel, replaced the clearance lights, added an electric
winch and gave it a coat of paint!

oh you cant really see them in those pics, there is recessed tie down points in the floor and there is also a bar running down each side of the
trailer. I will probably strap the front of the car down to the draw bar.

Nah.... Like you (and everyone else except for Rodney...  ), I've been flat out with this last term at school.... On holidays as of yesterday.... For the next six weeks....  So it's full steam into the projects over the holidays.... Getting
the trailer rego'd next week hopefully, then it's time for some TnT early in the new year I hope.... Rose's great efforts are keeping me
motivated.... Like her, I'm running low boost right now (7psi), so will be happy to get low 14's high 13's as it is... Should be good for that as
it was doing high 14's in NA form.... Here's hoping....

Westi's deckled is held on with 3 zeus fasteners from memory. One either side at the top and one at the bottom. Deckled is fiberglass.

It may just be the gearing you have,
or it may be that your float bowls/fuel pump is inadequate,
but your second half is a little slower than it should be.
Check wallace racing to compare your 1/8 mile to now.
Sydney is at a better altitude, so even the 1/8 mile should be faster, it may be jetting.

Well we never ended up putting it on the dyno so its just tuned by ear..... Also we never really re tuned when we got to Sydney as it seemed ok. The
fuel pump should be sufficient, its electric. Might play around with it a bit and take it out to willowbank soon.

They are just stock ratios...... Even my 1/8 times were slower than Warwick. Probably more to do with the attention Dave paid to the engine leading up
to and during Warwick... This time round we didn't really touch it. Put fresh fuel in, cleaned the fouled plugs and re set the tappets. Also driver
error is probably much to blame.... I had a shocker. Red lights, breakouts, short shifts and rev limiters were the story of my weekend!
