Every 355 will kepp making power if you raise timing to 32 degrees up top end
And most will pop heads doin that as well
28 is the usually for 355 up top end
Myn has 32 down low at idle

goin to take it out and bump it up to about 18 degrees timing now then just do a power run to see what it’s making and see how it behaves to 17 and 19 degrees
it very well may want 20 or 21 degrees timing in it as its only got 14psi but it’s making huge power for that boost level
don’t know what the most power…[Read more]

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/131908616317
never used one or had one but aparently these ones with this new mosfet power supply or what ever it is are ment to be pretty good
well new compared to the old modules made in the 90s, they been out for a few years now and ment to last a long time as well unlike the other unreliable items

vs manta 218 replied to the topic VS Manta #218 in the forum VN – VP – VR – VS 8 years, 2 months ago
When the intake ports are out from head to manifold by about 2 mm and exhaust ports on heads are square and extractors are round I’m guessing it’s not great

when I own a drag car it will not be registered, it will be a drag car
this manta is a street car, if I ever get a defect or it gets me into to much trouble I would pull motor and chuck a basic ls combo in it and take this motor and sell blower, manifold, Intercooled and so on and use that money to fund a injected 8/71 on it and put it into…[Read more]

If I can do a 10.9 in manual with 4:11 on what is essentially street tyres I would be over the moon lol
i dont see it happening though, with the old v2 blower manual was great fun, now though it is starting to become a hand full to drive fast
maybe be I can fluke it on a pass some time hopefully lol

if I set it up for drags with tall tyres and th400 and a 5000rpm stally I have no doubt 140+ would happen
with me shifting from 2nd to 3rd on the brink of traction I for see 130mph

Cheers people
it does look much better now with these wheels, stuff 20 inch rims, personally I think the 18 look heaps better with tyre to rim proportion
Will be good to see what mph I can get now as I can get a lot more power down with these
