pump gas pete Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well today is the day we enter the homeward straight.......possibly......and being the cynic I am I can still see a few hiccups before fire up day. After two years of faffing and learning the short motor is being picked up from Yorkshire today. Everything balanced ,bored , braced and bolted, honed ,strengthened and straightened, cleaned , coated and cranked. This bottom end should NOT let go. 'Course now its coming back Brother Darren is going on holiday for two weeks........after two YEARS I can wait another few weeks.......honest. Darren has as much time off work as necessarry to finish the rebuild so we are looking at running at Drag Racing this year. We will still run it on PUMP GAS (Optimax ) only. No NOS Does anyone know what is the quickest time is for a UK 6 speeder on pump gas? We need a target!!!! All we have ever run with the car years ago was a 12.26 at 122mph. will keep informed with piccies of the engine bay!! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Pete, When we drag race we only run race fuel for safety, and power. We make about the same power on Optimax though. We've ran 10.409 @ 145mph at Pod before on race fuel. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
