head gasket on the NL decided after 130k to call it quits which opened up some doors of modding for me:) while the head goes in for a full rebuild, acid bath, and to be shaved, it will also cop a rather large port and polish and a cam package with vernier cam gear to suit:) im still deciding to get the computer remaped?? or a computer chip to suit but either way im looking at a few more RWHP

and for that im happy, im aiming for the 14's, running 15.572 atm with just CAI and full exhasut it seems acheaveable but wheather 3.23 diff gears will allow a time slip in the 14's is the question:) hmm the possibilities:)

ill post pics if possible of the process and let you know info for dyno runs/qtr times once im finished.

damn. i thought id have a shot at you soon, but it seems ill be blown away byt yet another phat falcon. cam and lowering coming soon though.

try and get some 3.45 gears too. thatll unleash your beast a little more i reckon. how much are you getting shaved as well?

Good stuff mate.

It was seeming like quite a few of us Windsor owners are doing the mods at the moment. But your TQE guys were sleeping

. I'm going completely aftermarket for the top end of mine. With some other little bits like shift kit & diff gears.

Grunter supercharged beast is also up to some thing

But you'll have to speak to him about that that if you can stop him looking like --->

Twinpistion Was talking about doing some bits here and there at the last XRclub meet.

Going to make for an interesting cruise around Christmas time with all the re-powered 6's and 8's

So are you booking the Optimax tanker or am I

UNR8D · 08-09-2004, 04:25

LOL 28th might be a good run for me, i dont know as yet see how things pan out and if it all goes smoothily:) 'touchwood'

either way its time for some good old HSV (pre LS1) slautering:) hehe

I'm sure we can sort some thing out for a willowbank day mate. I know I'm just itching to get back out there even more so in a couple of weeks when all the works been done. Grunter and I were talking about heading out after mine is finished (his should be finished now) to have a run and i am sure a few of the other will come out also.

PM me when your work is all done and i'll get some of the other guys together for a drag day.
