Spiro made 1850hp with the methanol tune on 45psi or so, with the de-stroked Barra, not sure what the Barra blocks are good for. |

The commentors where very excited when it broke 200mph as they just finished saying they didnt expect it to break 200mph with the high temps. I think they said something about wheel shake helping wheel speed carrying threw to the top end MPH.

Its all good most times, just 38 degrees and stuck due to someone visiting the sandpit it starts to take its toll.

The wait can be killer, but patience is a virtue as they say and I am sure it will be worth it. Getting away for work is kinda handy timing as it will keep me busy!

Yeah mate - a new lighter and more powerful version will be arriving by the Nationals in a couple of weeks. Then out for Jambo.
Motors going back in this weekend with a new combo and freshened up with a few more shiny billet bits. Looking forward to getting back into the groove.

Who sells these mate as I was rapt with the way one properly set up can bring temps down when back at the pits on some of my other cars.
Bonus of some added torque to I guess

Will be interesting to see what the GTX goes like. Hopefully some dyno time this week. It may make it out to FTF this week. Unfortunately I have family commitments so I've said the boys can give it a shakedown if its ready so we have an idea of what's possible at the nationals. We need some track time before Jambo.
