Didn\'t the engine make 1100bhp in the past in Kermit I and you backed it off ??

In a cheating way, K-II will be much more of everything and properly done this time.

Quote from: Sicknote;841005pmsl, I think I\'ve got everything on the car to do it though !!  hehe....  and YES I WILL win the race to the 4 figure mark.  :)

Oh... K-II WILL be road legal.  :)

Not with those slicks it won\'t ;) :D I think the HP bench mark has now been set by Craig and his turbo v8 so one of the 20B boys need to try and challenge him in both HP and torque.

Why is that? Aren\'t there PR drag car using standard shafts and plates making 1500+HP?

nope! they use modified standard plates but billet shafts because of flex, you\'ll still break the thick iron and front plate quite easily on a turbo car if the tune isnt spot on and the block not pinned correctly.


looking forward to seeing this on track dave :)

Thanks Column, more pics to come when Pip fixes his phone, should have
pics of the engine refresh
and new bigger porting together with the manifold fabrication.

In the meantime here is the Lightweight Alloy Sparco remote extinguisher kit.

Well, pretty much my last bit of expensive kit arrived yesterday and HAVE to say... it\'s fecking amazeballs !!!

This race battery is only 1.5 kg and is about the same as an oversized rubics cube with big power output,
considering it\'s JUST a battery..... it\'s ubber cool.  :D

A BIG thanks to Clive (Shy Auto Developments) for sorting.   :)

How much do they go for?

How far off is the car from being fired up?

Hiya Grant,

it costs about the £350 mark for the battery.

The manifold SHOULD be completed today or tomorrow so will go and pick K-II up as soon as I get
the nod, then we can start to put him together in earnest, still probably about 4 weeks away from firing up.
