Oh my god. I think my brain brain just snapped a rod haha. Thank you for explaining this, it is interesting that myself & @Subru have had a similar experience with the detonation up top. I am feeling relieved to know that there are ways to counter this though. When a tuner says something like that to you I automatically thought the worst ha ha.

@Gripless When my motor was built Chris told me that my head must of been skimmed down a bit as the compression was higher. I am not that motor savey would you be able to elaborate on this please? He told me that once I get bigger injectors,turbo etc we can go for more power but it was effecting the stock setup to try and squeeze more out of it. Is this a bad thing to have? will it mean that even once I gain a larger turbo than the VF30 and supporting mods that my motor may not handle the power. TIA (sorry to hijack thread @Subru)

Ahh that's all good man, even though it wasn't the numbers you are hoping atleast you have the piece of mind that Chris has got it to a point that is safe. When mine was tuned it had the same issue as well which is strange? He replaced my Cam angle sensor? by memory and it made it a lot better. at least the touch up tunes are like a quick $150 haha I have had a few

I have my run in dyno sheet but just moved house unsure where others are @Subru

I am keen to bring the bug eye along, I am racing at superlap in March at manfeild so all going well the car is alive after this I will be there ha ha.

Just try not to worry to much about the top number it hits, I am a firm believer of area under the graph compared to a car that 350kw with a power band between 6.5k and 8k. Chris is amazing at what he does safe to say what ever number it makes it'll perform a lot smoother and better than it does now.

210kw 390nm - Keep us updated super keen to see this.

I have entered into jambo in March you should to!

Yeah would be sweet unsure if they have night wars there though

Wish this was closer to Wellington

Hey mate, I know you mentioned that you didn't want a ute but you can pick up a relatively tidy hilux 3.0l DT which is what we use for towing. however My mate uses a outlander for towing his car around, we have an outlander with no tow bar as a daily for the Mrs and its awesome to drive? Or stick with a falcon or commodore you cant kill them and they are not that bad on gas day to day if you don't have a heavy foot.

Manfeild would be awesome for some track time? be a good location in the middle for people wanting to come from south and north. That a long with pizza..and beer....lots of pizza and beer ha ha.

Hey Matt, I am not planning on being there all day either would be more keen to try park together for awhile and then leave before end of the day. Sitting in the sun with no shade for 5 hours is never fun ha ha. @Joker Thanks for offering the banner, I think it would be a cool setup with it but will see how many people we can get together first!

Hey Welly Lads and ladettes, On the 4th of Feb in Lower Hutt they are having the event "Hard Park" again. This event is great to get out and meet other people in a strictly park up family style event. Every year they let you in early to park together if you have a club or crew. Would any of the Wellington based team (or anyone willing to travel) be interested in going in to park up for ClubSub?
