Thanks alot. Its been a long time coming thats for sure. A lot of you guys have helped us out with a lot of different questions over the last 3 years. First engine incarnation had a set of RyanJ hand ported w9's, 1 of the first sets he ever did. It struggled its way to 665hp/587ft/lbs here and we thought well maybe thats ok. We run it at the track and it was a pig. 10.40's mostly at around 128mph. We decided to take a look see at the engine during summer here and while it was apart I thought it best to try another set of w9's. I had some help from Mike Lane at Chapmans, real easy guy to deal with and very knowledgable with extremely fast service. Got the heads and put the motor back together, had the manifold converted to a dominator pattern and went to the dyno again. This time it made 754hp and 612ft/lbs, with the same cam in the same short motor. First day at the track was yesterday and run with the exhaust off 9.98/135.5mph. The car is full interior with factory seats and weighs 3520lbs. Huge thanks to Tony and Tammy at www.brinksperformance.com.au

Mike's good guy for sure!! Hard to beat Chapman stuff...been around a long time and has a ton of championships under his belt.
Looks like you were trippin' the 60ft. timers with your rear tires????
