I'm going to wait to put it on his other dyno (he called it something other than the dynojet). It is a 4 wheel dyno. You could see where my rear wheels were slipping a little.
I don't know about a burnout video. Just can't see wasting valuable rubber just to see some smoke! Now a little competition video might be in order.
But I really need to break it in first. Clutch, brakes, etc.

I've been watching from the shadows but I must say that dyno video gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. I can't wait for the burnout video myself. Balls to the wall!
I don't really know. But once you get up in the higher engine hp numbers, so many thing can, and will affect it.
New Super Snake: 750hp x 20% hp loss = 600 rwhp. Roughly. If they uses a 3" exhaust. 2 1/2", I would probably take them on the drag strip. On the road course, advantage New Super Snake. I'm sorry, there is no way to make these old cars handle as refined as the new cars. Looks - advantage Old school Muscle cars every time.

richard i just saw the vid...bit sticky in anticipation of one on the road, under real load without the dyno fan. Nice tune with it...I didnt realise anyone outside Oz had ever heard of Colin Hay

Thanks. Just a question.. What does "bit sticky in anticipation of one on the road, under real load without the dyno fan." mean?
I like different music, and Colin Hay is excellent on the the acoustic. Nobody better IMHO. I love the sound, and it moves me.
Either way, thanks. And if you ever get to the states, give us a shout.

i bet that state inspector was getting sticky in the pants lookin at that thing!
sounds really good, and those are some decent numbers but im guessing theres ALOT left in it.
what i would like to know is how did they come up with 800+ HP with a tune that was essentially crap?
the sound of your car puts lead in one's pencil so to speak. I can't wait to see a vid of her on the road, without the distractions!
thanks for the accomodation offer. It will be a couple of years away, but I am hoping to get stateside to see some vintage racing sometime before the fun police ban motorsport altogether.

stangs67 id put money on richard if that ever happens his mustang is lighter better power to weight a push rod not the mod motor and far less parts to go wrong or extra weight like abs airbags traction control etc etc. thats why i love older cars you gotta be a good driver and half way mechainc to own one.
wow. that last picture looks amazing! great shine on her
EDIT: I just noticed how you blacked out the rear bumper as well as the chrome on the reverse lights and stuff. Looks good!
Thanks!
After I got the car back, and started putting everything together, I noticed a pattern. Almost everything on the car is either black or silver/chrome. Thought about naming it "Project Blackout", but that one has already been done. Then with the video, I used "Overkill" as the song. And it really fits the car, because that engine is OVERKILL. ha
