Matt Seabrook Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yes I did and more than I had before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTIN T Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 230BHP is not to be sneezed at my car used to be 227bhp and went very well too. 280bhp is enough to make things interesting What you running now? Kent 1608, they are the same as the SBD xe hydraulic profile but with a longer duration inlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Seabrook Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Dont know had engine problems at Hullavington. I think I broke a valve spring which meant I had to keep the revs down to 7000rpm thats 1000rpm below peak power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Seabrook Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Right a bit of video of the day and some of my own poorly running car. You can see that I am having to level the throttle from about 1/3 to 1/2 way down the main straight. I need to have a look at the engine but I think that I have broken one of my double valve springs so this meant that I had to short shift the car at just below 7000rpm. That equates to 100mph in fourth at less than 1/2 distance down the straight. Had the car been running properly as it did in the first two sesions that I was not really pushing hard I think I would have been on the limiter down the straight whhich would have been 125mph. Oh well always next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Seabrook Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have this kit but a different microphone. Seems a good bit of kit and the camera angle seems to work quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
