Well done Rich, always doesnt hurt to treat it the way you did to see what the attitude of the car will be
See if one of the boys will shoot a video of it for us, would be great to see you putting it through its paces after seeing the pics and hearing what you've done to it |

Bring it on! See you on wed at WSID. : Any excuse for me too take it for a run. (lol) Love it. The first few passes will be shut off at half track, then the last will be run out the back door. Unfortunatly I haven't had a tech inspection done yet still waiting for my log book. They kick you out if you run a 10. Hopefully it went unnoticed by andra officials yesterday! :

Thats cool. I am going too give it a miss this week and aim for next week. Bugger. Way too much work to do anyway. I would be much happier being able to do full passes every run. So I will just have to be patient. :

Took a mate for a quick run up my street when we got home, the look on his face was so funny. I didn't realise I had so many neighbours. :

G'day Hot460. I'm running a 460 in an XB coupe and looking at replacing the stock heads and Intake. I've looked around and there's not a lot to choose from. What heads are you running?

Mate ,keep looking. Heaps to choose from now for BB. Edelbrocks are direct fitin 75 or 95 cc chambers,as are trick flow streets,the older A429 cobrajets. You got Blue Thunders in couple different port configurations then if you want to change piston you can go to Jon Kaase SCJ's or the new P-51's which would be top of the street heads. Then there's the high ports A460 and C460 and procomps if you were to choose them. Prob more i have missed . |
