Col runs 13.59 @ 97 in street trim
I just got a text from Col, seems he's been out at Pillowbank Raceway and after driving there he ran a 13.59 @ 97 mph with muffler, air cleaners and
fanbelt.
Here's an old pic....

Good work Col. All that effort is paying off. Question did you drive home under your own power?

Engine is 2332 that's been around for quite some time. We've been optimising it lately after a cam change earlier this year. We changed from a FK 87
to a smaller GB 310. It has ported 040 heads unwelded 44 x 38, mag welded case, 48 IDA's on tall manifolds, 1 5/8 merged with Supa Flow(?) s/s muff.
Also changed from 009 to 010 dissy and stepped up to 45 vents and a major rejet.
Engine has been reborn, with a beautifully smooth power delivery and silk like driveability. And squeeze that go pedal and she just keeps pulling.
Was 141 rwhp with the FK87 and 37 vents. We feel (hope)around 150 (or more  ) at the wheels is closer to the mark now with the new combo.

Sorted out a p plate commy ute for you frosty but it wasn't that big a deal it had matching mags the fast ones have steelies on the rear I belive,a
turbo supra took a pretty big beating and I tried to arrange a run with a vp clubsport with a Tremaine 308 stroked engine combo ran 13.4
@114?wouldn't race me in the vp but his other car a sv6 commy 10psi pullys and a 75shot of gas,cut a great lite and surprise surprise the nitrous
didn't "work".And on one launch It left and bogged a little but still got the wheels off the deck!!!

Col here,stock 1st,2nd1.49,1.125.amd 4.125 i think.But since the cam swap i,m looking at a 5 speed or some ratio changes.I feel the
car will be faster with wider ratios since the dunebuggy cam seems to have a wider spread of power.And grogy,there are some special things i've done
inside the box that i think are worth it. pm matt or me or even DB, and ill let you know more.
