I just found out about this by phone, so I had to get on here...


Bloody fantastic.....

Well freaking done to all involved.....

Now Chris,
If I come up on sat to watch this beast down the track can you promis me a 9????
Im not going to come all the way to heathcote unless you run that 9....

Tell you what though it would almost be worth paying the $40 for you to do 1 run at calder before they asked you to park it......
Could you imagine the looks on their faces......

What more can I say.....

Well done and cant wait to see and hear it....


Kev.

Nice!

Kind of on topic, can you paint the cooler? Or can you get different dimensions? Looks a bit odd, but hey it works well enough thats for sure!

Thanks for the kind words guys, i have only been on here briefly, time is running out and we have plenty of cars to ready for the weekend.

Im pretty sure the car will run a decent number, holding it straight is a funny thing - driving the BA ute is like "sitting on" rather than "sitting in". In an XD-XE the steering is way more precise, this thing feels jumpy, but i supposed half the fun is getting used to it all again.

Usual thanks to all the usual suspects, mates, etc - people know what we run on the car by now, the parts work, and they work better than anything else. Right now this may be the last meeting for a little while, the blower thing is moving along and taking much of my time up.

Anyway, I was happy with the 1st pass - 10.69@131 with our new blower kit - i told you guys it would be a killer deal, and there aint nothing like it for the Boss.

I cant wait till i finish my engine!! stock one handling 450 plus ok for now.

Kev, AFF meet and a 9 second pass?

Any chance of a couple of runs out of your beast? I'll see you there.

Chris

Chris, well done on the awesome early results for your project. I believe you have set the BOSS after market world alive with your pioneering. You are a mile above the competition for credibility and integrity. Like the rest here I am just awaiting the day you grab the record off the T's and hit the 9's in a big way!

Yes and the thing that i am most impressed with (at this stage) is it's all with a standard bottom end (oil pump gears only) which is a credit it Chris's kit here, having said that pushing for 9's is a different kettle of fish.......
