How much gas will you be using ?
It would be intresting to see the difference in timing tickets between a run with and without once you have it set up.
Regard Ron
Ron,
about 75-95hp level for now, I will do a N/A pass and maybe more later but for now will just aim for the 10s using the gas, the gearing is a little tall for the N/A set up so it will always be compromised running it that way but it is much more drivable on the road due to it
cheers Richie
Great, can't wait to see it run

Got these to go on now, they were £500 less than the gasburners so will swap them out, they weigh 10.5lbs compared to 9.5lbs of gasburner on my scales so not bad, still trying to keep cost down

Plan is to paint them flat black so they look even more stock, and I got some small VW logo hubcaps I want to try fit to complete the look

Looks great Richie. Any idea on the budget so far? Close to the £10k target?

Its got bumpers on it
liking that it looks "normal"
Starting adding it up but got bored of all the small stuff so decided to go back to it after its run 10s as I will know for sure then what I used and it cost, but it is more than I thought

henk!!!
Yes 1st time at the track, as I said before I would do one N/A pass which I did[ 12.44@103mph, missed 3rd gear] then turned the bottle on, next pass 10.97@121mph, slight adjustment to tyre pressure and next pass 10.97@120, now quite a head wind but 60ft was better.
then 2 more passes in afternoon, 1st I grabbed 4th instead of 2nd and last missed 3rd gear again so no improvement.
Car is all good, need some more passes as it is much to rich on bottle but at least its safe tune
Will put a video and some pics up in a while
cheers Richie

Ron,
I came to this conclusion on the way home, all you need to do is come up with a plan of what you want to do,
stick to it
and search out the parts you need, then buy them when they come up for sale
I can see from your avatar that some of this might be a problem for you
cheers Richie
