Yes Martin low 7sec in the 1/4 is what they are running and you are doing all that work just to run a 10sec 1/4.
That's not very nice Boom Boom
We'll all be there looking for you in the undergrowth when you do run a 7

few more updates, I just had a short pipe out of the turbo to run it up and for the mapping, but as my new 3 1/2 bends turned up i thought I'd make the tail pipe.
Oh and ive got some new seats, so i have to make for frames to suit, what a pain it is trying to set up a seat on your own!
Tail pipe from turbo and wast gate all in 3 1/2 inch ( i know it should have an expantion section but theres no room!)
Just got to finish weld the joints, and fit the lamdba plug and theres a v-band joint just behind the motor plate to fit.
Tail pipe exiting behind the rear wheel. chuffing thing is 6 feet long!.
New seat and the frame ive made up. (Berni is going to have to trim them so they look like the old ones.)

well its 2.04 am and ive just got back from the rollers.
it took 4 hours to get the thing started!, but we have found a few issuse's with the way ive routed the fuel lines, so thats getting changed, the motor has been running for about 3 hours while we set all sorts of things up. i can now re torque the heads and re set the valves ready for next weeks power runs and main mapping.
good news is the motor sounds fooking ace and not one drop of oil leeking from anything!
heads were running at 95 C and the oil at 100C and still 120 psi oil preshure
tired, but proper happy!

off for a shower and bed to cuddle up to the wife!
good night.

Sorry been some time since an update.
we were on the rollers 2nd Nov again for another 13 hours or so!
the modified fuel system is working spot on, but im still havin issues with the rockers, after taking the heads off and re mesuring the springs, geometry ect, ive come to the concluetion that the rockers are shit and no way strong enough for the aplication (Autocraft roller tips).
So after a few phone calls im going to install a set of Crower 1.5:1 rollers complete with the steel girdle, so it mean compleatly redoing the top end. ive got to machine off the 5 posts the old rockers bolted to and make a nice flat surface for the new set up to bolt to.
I'll take some pictures of the process and keep you updated.
the only good thing to come out of it is that i'll end up with maximum amount of lift the valves require. So hopfully more power!
anyways just making the wife some breakfast then its back in the garage to strip the motor down ready for the top end redo!
oh the joys of daft motors! lol
