filled block might get there, the GAS 2JZ's (3.4L Stroker) are pumping around 70psi.

Spiro made 1850hp with the methanol tune on 45psi or so, with the de-stroked Barra, not sure what the Barra blocks are good for.

think Wilshire only went 198mph, Mick's Motorsport went 197mph.

Giant · 22-10-2012, 12:15 PM

The commentors where very excited when it broke 200mph as they just finished saying they didnt expect it to break 200mph with the high temps. I think they said something about wheel shake helping wheel speed carrying threw to the top end MPH.

driver cooling what's that?

most guys i know don't use anything, i'm just going to get fans and try and find the coolest race suit i can. i have seen other guys run cold air in helmet or have ice packs in suit, but those guys are not really sportsman racers, they are big $ teams.

Giant · 22-10-2012, 01:38 PM

Its all good most times, just 38 degrees and stuck due to someone visiting the sandpit it starts to take its toll.

prasac · 22-10-2012, 01:41 PM

imagine if you were in a race suit, or race suit the nomex underwear

Giant · 22-10-2012, 02:36 PM

Yeah I saw a few guys that where ringing wet in sweat pealing off the race suits, always someone worse off but that falls to help me lmfao.

I have my block filled. As a precaution. We are only running about 42pounds for now, but haven't had a clean pass on that boost yet. I am looking forward to seeing where it gets us. Block has been strong with no problems so far.

I'm not sure. It's possible just depends on how quick a few things get made. Will keep you posted on how we are tracking.

How far off is your ride from making its debut?

That's all you can really hope for. I am off to the states for 10 days for work next week so will hope for some good progress when I get back!

After pitting for the eclipse I am getting very they to be back on the track...

prasac · 01-11-2012, 08:49 AM

Nice - I saw some pics of it at the paint shop on fullboost.

The wait can be killer, but patience is a virtue as they say and I am sure it will be worth it. Getting away for work is kinda handy timing as it will keep me busy!

Yeah mate - a new lighter and more powerful version will be arriving by the Nationals in a couple of weeks. Then out for Jambo.

Motors going back in this weekend with a new combo and freshened up with a few more shiny billet bits.

Looking forward to getting back into the groove.

Who sells these mate as I was rapt with the way one properly set up can bring temps down when back at the pits on some of my other cars.

Bonus of some added torque to I guess

You and me both Paulie. The boys fired t up last night. The new combo looks good and sounds pretty tasty.

Will be interesting to see what the GTX goes like.

Hopefully some dyno time this week. It may make it out to FTF this week. Unfortunately I have family commitments so I've said the boys can give it a shakedown if its ready so we have an idea of what's possible at the nationals. We need some track time before Jambo.

SNB05T · 10-03-2013, 09:57 PM

looking good phill.
hopefully we'll see it run on friday night (we're going out for a skid)
