I also wanted to mention that the Siemens injectors give incredibly smooth idle. The tuner was able to get the idle down to 750rpm with a mild cam.

Got to the Whyalla 1/8th mile yesterday, horrible conditions 40 degrees with high northerly winds.

On the bright side 8.3 seconds which is apparently close to pushing into the 12 second 1/4 mile mark.

I just Went back to letting the auto shift by itself as I was having traction problems doing the manual shift without slicks so I know there is a lot more potential in it.

yeah thats about right, i used to do 12.78 over the 1/4 and that was 8.15ish over the 1/8th!

time for slicks and another run in better weather!!

Cheers, I also need to learn how to drive. Ha.

Also Losing a fair bit of coolant as I suspect either the head is lifting under boost and/or the surface finish on the block is not good enough for the MLS head gasket. Fortunately it is not fouling the oil from what I can see. I could feel it slightly missing during the runs which I first thought was maybe the rev limiter activating but now i reckon it may have had something to do with this problem. There is no coolant loss when driving on the street.

Just some update pics from the tailgate rebuild. Pics are in reverse

Last bit of welding

Nice work, getting there!

Thanks Vlad bigger mission than I expected
