Very impressive. Forced induction beats the hell out of NOS in my book.

Sounds really strong, I can hear that slight bog. The MPH seems a bit low for that ET, I think there's another 5-6 mph hiding in there somewhere.

It was bogging on the line, had to just tickle it away and then give it some.

Need to play with the tyre pressures and may have to swap out for a 433 or 456 gear ( using 411 at moment ). Summit ring and pinions are $143 each and come packaged in richmond wrappers.

It looks like you need some more pressure in the front tyres Jon in that clip the front look a little flat..

You re right ... Only had 25 psi in the front and 8 in the back as it was first run with it I didn't want any airborne drama

Usually run 45 psi in the front and 10 - 15 in the back

Only using a 9 inch tyre on back so may possibly step up to a 10.5 ?

This was very much a shakedown run just to make sure it went straight and didn't suffer with the added high up nose weight
Now I know its ok I can start getting it set up better

Thanks nick
