    HKS F-CON

    For it's time. it was the way to do it. Now a days. You have the MAFT Pro to do most of the same with more adjustability out of it but the same ignition limitations. Standalones. anywhere from $900 to $25,000.

    battery relocation question

    here is a thought to ponder.... you are already running positive line to the front of the car. What difference will it make if you run the ground too? Increased resistance? Actually quite the opposite as the 2 guage or 1/0 guage will have a lot less resistance then the chassis will. Ground...

    Question about mirror finish (head) & I'm lookin for a reputable machine shop in WA

    my pent up on the wrong advise. It is far from wrong as the RA were used regardless if I had put the words "A highly polished gold plated dog turd" RA 50-30 is not debatable.

    Question about mirror finish (head) & I'm lookin for a reputable machine shop in WA

    You can see yourself on a 50 RA finish. 30 RA finish it is better and still see yourself clearer. In essence mirror finish. If you want to talk about surface flatness..... at an RA of 50 that is equivalent to 1.4 - .9 microns. Still rough.

    Question about mirror finish (head) & I'm lookin for a reputable machine shop in WA

    Cracks knuckles....... the mating surface WILL "slide". Simple physics and metallurgy. The sliding will occur as the metal expands. The head will not be sliding all willy-neely as that is what the STUDS are there for but it will slide none the less. The headgasket is there to keep the...

    Newest Australian MkIV Dyno Queen

    GT55 on a 3.0L? I can see a GT45 as that is what most MKIV drag teams use. BUt they are spinning the ever living crap out of the motor (10k RPM). GT55. Won't get anything useful from them.

    battery relocation question

    first off it is not about having problems. It is about being SAFE! The reason SCCA, IMSA, NHRA, WRC etc REQUIRE that the battery have a cutoff switch out back, if there is an accident, the firefighters can TURN the battery off that way they won't deal with a live circuit (and since the chassis...
