:lol: I'd love to see evidence of a Sierra or Festiva at on the track at PC. The whole idea of the event is off-street racing - even during the cruising sessions. Heck it even says that in the driver briefing!

We're talking about powercruise entrants and spectators here....
Don't make them think, it's scary enough with them just being there with their taxi spec XD's and VB's...

Not an MB but virtually the same...

Took a corner at around 60 - 70 km/h in my completely standard hatch once, never been so scared in my life. Could have sworn i come so close to rolling it :-o

Cheers

but there thinking with there XDs look at this tool, its a dog with worms draging its arse around! but still power cruse would be good only to race a standing start even if a mb doesnt win its kinda embarring bec it would be soo close that a mighty boy almost beat a supercharged bommodore how would the driver of the commodore feel with all the money he spend on it??

I'm running a standard head gasket, but will swap for a custom one when the new head goes on. Going to install ARP studs at the same time instead of bolts.

Whats up with people thinking powercruise is only for fast cars, its set up for the public to let off some steam and thrash there cars around the track (no matter what brand, except maybe a peel p50 lol).

Hi Casey,
Is the quickner 2:1 or 1.5:1. How do you find it at high speed? Could you use it for normal road driving or is it too direct?
