    got a dyno sheet if the up load works 453 rwkw

     

    she was pushed to 6800 and stopped as the tuner said after 6800 the pistons start getting a lot of stress so stopped at that if i want to make any more power i need to do a pulley up grade to a 10 rib belt to get the boost over 10 psi  maybe later on will try for 14psi and been thinking about meth injection

    You always seem to build some nicely tickled vehicles. Looking the goods, i bet the centrifugal gives it a nice kick in the ass. [/quot

    thanks cave keen to have a read of your build you was just getting start last time i looked at her

    the vortech works well was running 7 psi before the cam and it was nice

    now iv dropped down 3 pulley sizes so from go its making more power  and around 3600 when the cam starts to work its like the blower starts to boost all over again

    just got home from a drive and came out of a 80 zone in to a 110 and in 3rd gear it was skiding over the bumps in the road at about 1/4 throttle so im impressed

    so now how see sits

    06 ve ss vk hdt improved number 51

    l98 six speed manual spec stage 3 clutch

    3.7 diff upgrade

    lunarti double valve springs

    custom cam in the 230s

    1 piece push rods arp bolts

    vortech t trim cant put a number on the boost yet as it hasn’t had a full hit on the dyno yet

    have a dyno sheet showing 8psi at 423 rwkw the tune said it was at 5400 rpm

    had fuel pump trouble car was leaning out

    not ever doing a ve fuel module i tried fitting a walbro 460 lost fuel pressure even before i drove it

    so then i looked at the airoflow 325 sounded good so off to the dyno see went dropped the car off and went shopping

    came back and see was just starting to make some power looked over and seen 426 rwkw  was getting happy went and got the misses and i record a 430rwkw will try and get the vid up

    so good timing cool down time for the car lol

    went for a while and came back to a sad face  losing fuel pressure

    so out with the fuel module and dale at sps in mildura fitted a walbro 460 my new 1 sitting at home in my shed

    new pump powered up with no fuel pressure on removal the shaft was turning and that was it so back in with the old pump 325 a hit on the dyno to do a safe tune

    so 423 rwkw  at 5400 got to be happy with that for now just knowing it hasn’t even been pushed to the 6500 limiter yet and knowing the cam will rev over 7000 rpm when it removed i think it will do around or over  over 450rwkw

    well last night i did the fuel pump after having a run down on how to mode the filter for the pump it all went well walbro 460 pumping away  more fuel then needed now sorry only just realised pic would have been good  of the mods

    with the imfo i found when i was working out what pump to run i found alot of you cant run a walbro 460

    there to big  the reg want  hold up it will run rich

    my tuner fits them to ve,s now i have and the car has not changed she is running fine so now is just a matter of getting it back for a final tune

    so many builds and detail gone

    even if we put as mush detail as we can remember of our on builds they will never have the fine point they had when they were first done
