Hehehe cool

Well done Mick! Your car makes more power at the wheels then mine does at the flywheel! Maybe it's time for me to consider bolting a turbo to my engine, hahaha :hihi:

I think he meant who holds the 3.9litre trophy in general, as in who's got the most powerful 3.9litre on the forums....

It was just a Mick vs Jason battle for the trophy. I can think of one 3.9 ea that ran higher on the day. lol

It was good day, depsite the extremely dissapointing run my car did.
In any event Congrats to Mick, he WON on the day.

My car was running on all 6 cylinders, it even has dave's old EA head on it, so no engine excuses to be offered, umm old plugs and leads is about it.

I think the poor showing is a simple oversight by me, I have spent most the weekend thinking why, the best I can come up with at the moment is, long runners = lots of air, short runners = not much air, the sudden loss of air confuses the car, it cant learn that quick so just goes rich and severly hurts power, I will have it on the dyno in a few weeks with short runners only and reset the ecu and see what it can put out (fingers crossed it gets over 100 at least)

Pink = 97.3 original dyno run, Blue = 81.8 dyno run with mods.
From lean to rich so are the days of our lives :yeees:
