Well done Kev. What a ripper of a time! Would have loved to have seen you do that run! Plenty more in your beast too I reckon. Ported heads? Lower comp? Billet rods (7000rpm)?

Well done KEV and the G&D Boys :evilking: , bet you are wrapt with that awesome time, spewing I wasn't their to see it.
For the record, Kev can drive a manual with his eyes closed, you should see him drift the thing in the wet

Just heard something really funny thats circulating at the moment,apparently we blew Kevs engine up on the dyno,put a valve straight through a piston. : 3 people have told kev so far that his engine blew up.

Unbelievable.

What a load of rubbish.This engine is factory stock as delivered with billet oil pump gears,G&D cams & valve springs & thats it,never had a head or sump off it.

Why would someone be so desperate(or threatened) to start a rumor like that.

Gee I wonder who would have started it. _

Dissapointing.

Let me tell whoever started it though,if we had to build another engine for it it would be running well into the 11's already because it wouldn't have stock parts put back in it. :

I will say one final thing & that is that it will take a lot more than starting lies & rumors to make us go away.Expect to see some VERY fast Fords from the G&D stable in the coming months.

Default Where to start.....

Sorry it has taken me so long to get on here. It has been a busy weekend for me with no time for the computer. :

Firstly.

Thank You everyone for your kind words. I really appreciate it. :

I went out with the hope's of a 12.2.
I ran a 12.3 followed by a couple low 12.2's and knew there was more in it. I went on a mission for a 12.1.
I crossed the finish line with a quick glance at the timing board and was like Hell Yeah 12.17. :eclipsee_
I hate to say it, because the saying annoys the hell out of me, but "I was excited"
12.17 for a Manual, Hell Yeah :


Two more HUGE Thank you's!!!!

Firstly I would like to Thank my very understanding Girlfriend Jess.
What a woman. In Jess's own words she was my Pit *****.
She love's it and supports Me Big time when it comes to my car.:Reverend:
I Couldn't ask for a better more understanding woman. She was so excited when I made it back to the waiting Lanes. :sm_headba
I was all ready to try and go quicker but there was another Oil down/Break down so it was all over for the time being.

Secondly to G&D Performance. What a great package. To me it shows that camshafts do work.
Thank you everyone at G&D for all your time and effort put into my Ute.
I know It's far from over and I cant wait to see how much more we can get out of it.


As for the rumors about my engine been blown up. I can barley be bothered. Don't know if they are started to Diss-Credit G&D or to fire me up to go faster. :SaiyanSmi Either way there is no truth to it what so ever.

Anyway,
..........Thanks again everyone.
..........................................Kev.

Well done Kev, good to hear the thing is flying, and as usual, nice driving.

I heard the rumours about the engine too, good to hear they are false, and the thing is alive and breathing fresh air.

Club 11 - the seat is here, warm and waiting for you, well done.

Agreed,as some are aware, I'm sick of some of the comments made by some members regarding G&D as they don't have a clue what they're talking about. Hopefully mine will be there soon so we can see what the old windsor can come up with and shut a few people up.

Hi Kev, your clutch seems to be holding up to a fair bit of stick, what clutch are you using?
