ill stick with what ive got for the time been ,,lol
well just managed to get it insured ,so thought id give it a try , and personaly not too inpressed with it , as gearbox ratios to turbo spool are way out , good thing moterway cruiseing is unbeliveable lol, i geared down and floored it , and christ , it lights up to 15psi then the dam clutch is slipping ,,, grrr, more gearbox on and off ,(may need bedding a bit as the flywheel is new lol,but when that turbo kicks in christ , the caddys like a transformer ,nice normal burbble then a turbo spool and boost , and hold on ,lol ,
added r spec boost controller, (nice ball bearing and spring type)

of corse :lol:

its got to be tryed if it can do it especially when you own your own road 200 plus in a caddy i wonder if thats been done before.
im unsure i defo know it will do more due to calicating the ratios which come out at 254mph 7500 in 6th lol

174!!!! my god thats some serious speed! not for the faith hearted , and has to be in 4wd lol

you better take this to some track days and caine everything there :p and santa pod too :D
yep will do , just need to sort the wheel camber for better cornering

174 mph in a car that’s how old?:blink: 1988 lmao
