the engine is a 2nd hand shed find and a little tired but we found about 7lb of boost on the dyno and made 108bhp at the rear wheels, with 100bhp in 2nd gear.

the last weigh in of the bus was at 3030lb with me in the drivers seat..

first run out ran a 17.4 with a 3 second sixty foot. the video i shot from inside the cab shows wheelspin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear…. ideally i’m looking for a 2.1 60ft (or less) which would indicate a low 16/high 15…
as soon as i get time to link it all i’ll post the video.
i’ve also got some of it hooning around outside raceshack with the swannee whistle in the dumpvalve which is V funny…

sadly some breakages and then a day of torrential rain prevented more qualifying and finally rained off racing completely but i’m very happy so far. the total cost to date (including the bus) is about ?450 ($850).

the raceshack boys are looking for 140bhp at the rear wheels when we get it back on the dyno and i’ve got my Nitrous kit now with 100bhp jets… and theres more metal to chop out so with luck we’ll see BIG reductions in 1/4 mile times…
