Nice man, thats a very respectable time. How do you find it with a 3000 stalllie on the street though?? Im assuming the 308 revs out a little harder now for the stallie to be as that, what it rev oout to now ?

the cam comes in around 2800 this works well with the 3000 stallie launches like a truck hit you from behind,revs to 6300 but only makes useful torque to 6000 i change up early around 5700 when using the No2. The diff is 3.36 so @ a 100kph its reving at 3000 if it was any less the slippage in the stallie would cook the trannie oil (not good) cheers

Yeah, thats fair enough. Have you got a transmission cooler, and i don't mean the pipe going through the bottom of the radiator. Try and get your hands on a hayman reece transmission cooler, they aren't too hard to pick up, they were used in many of the holden tow packs, and they do a great job of taking care of tricked up autos.

Keep your eye out for a plain looking VY SS ute (black), it'll be packing a 7.0lt gen three, with the suspension and drivline to see it down for a very fast street tyre run.
