Not T56, but on my 4l65e (separate bell housing) with the paccies, I did shave the bell housing a little to give more clearance.

No need for a 4500 stall on a car with a torque and power curve like mine, would be throwing away lots of the usable parts of the curve. It makes 80% of full torque at 2,000rpm.  Of course we are going bigger with the cam etc so that will change.  4.11’s wouldn’t be usable on the street.  Chatted to him last night, (apologies if this isn’t qu…[Read more]

Not thinking of another box?

Yea that’s what I am thinking, I dont really want to put a cage in it, so if I can have a bit of a play, do some runs, then get a stout number and get booted, i would be pretty happy.  Honestly all I have ever wanted was to run a 10.XX from a 1/4 mile point of view, its more about doing some track driver days, especially now they are building The…[Read more]

Yea but them sure I have cast iron block, and bigger diff, but to transfer case, front diff, or cage, be similar I am guessing.

Shit, that’s a hell of a failure.

Sounds like Cav’s guess may be pretty close to the mark then with my lard ass in it!!  Once its all up and running might swing past the local weighbridge so I know once and for all.  Thanks all.

Thanks Ian, I guess yours is a bit heavier than mine would be though being AWD?  Or do you think its worth paying the extra and going 500kg?  Bummer about the box, I reckon I put a jinx on you chatting about it before!!

Hey IJ, I am looking at getting myself a scissor lift table like you have there.  Do you know what weight yours is rated too, 350kg??  And yea just re watched the vids, does look like you were having trouble with the trans?

And is that with the cage as well as all the AWD stuff?  And with you in it?

Its out again????

Yea your right Cav, it’s actually not bad at 100.

Yea for sure it might happen one day.  But really it’s not about cruising at 110.

She actually worked her magic whilst sitting at Kuala Lumpur airport. I told her off, hopefully right now she is sipping a pina colada in the Maldives.

Yea nice work, not sure how I missed the post about the mag article, congrats!!

Good stuff, so looks like the 275/50/15 at 26.4″ is a pretty good bet.  And will theoretically have me crossing the line at around 6200rpm.  I am not trying to break a record, I reckon that works.  I am guessing it all depends on traction/set up anyway.  Last time I went down a drag strip was 30 years ago in my little LC GTR and ran 15.2

Wow, that heavy?   I seem to remember IJ saying his was just over 1500 and its AWD?  Appreciate I have a cast iron block, and heavier diff, but that a lot isn’t it?  I guess I will need to weigh it at some stage.  According to the web a VR V8 came in at 1477kg?

Never had it a weigh bridge, I am going to take a guess at say 1550kg, so I think that’s around 3400lb.  Power  aiming at 700ish hp fly.  Diff is 3.55:1, glide so no overdrive.  I have played around and different calculators seem to give different results, not sure what the best calculator is?

Thats beautiful mate, top build, looks like tons of fun.  Coming across to Winton is on my list, be good to meet up a few of you guys over there.
