    Thanks HSV865. I’m a bit hesitant about banging on about it on forums, people are probably sick of hearing about the car.

    It has a Holden roller block stroked to 396ci. Grouted, o-ringed, CNC -9 Yella Terra heads, TP Pro Paw intake, E85, Holley Ultra XP 850dp. It actually hasn’t seen the 1/4 with the TP manifold. Tubbed and 4 point removable cage. T400 trans. 9″ diff.

    Best 1/4 at the moment, 10.7 @ 126mph. Have had a constant miss over 5500rpm, so will be testing a different ignition system. Engine comes out this week. Going a bigger cam and higher comp. Will be up around 13:1.

    So not sure what it’ll run after that. Hopefully a bit quicker with the ignition system I’ll be testing, but probably not a great deal quicker I don’t think until it gets NOS.

    No way mate, this is exactly the thing this forums for. I for one and I am sure many others would love to know more details. Would love you to start a build thread maybe in the members/race section. Great work (and car) :)
