yep 4x4 is awesome
took mine up strip a few times and beaten higher powered cars time after time
its all about getting the power down off the line
best one was racing a rs500
he just span and span i grabed 5th instead of 3rd and he still didnt catch me
fancy chipping it this year and seeing how much quicker it will be
best so far is 14.4

burgess, get an XE inlet cam and vernier pulley phase 2 with large FMIC, do the rotor arm mod and sort a good tophat out and youll see close to 300bhp

4x4 is only good for launch in a straight line race. on the move it offers a disadvantage

on the move in a straight line race jambo, it will offer a disadvantage due to weight, friction, power distribution etc

As said, you lose so much power through the transmission.

350 is good for std internals burgess

So long as your turbo is good then youll have no problems

seen too many melted pistons in my time to want that myself!
all from things like old and tired fuel pumps etc etc
to be safe i would want all those upgraded first so I KNOW it wont let me down!
such a pain in the arse rebuliding engines!
will go well enough for me around the 250 260 mark!
it uses enough fuel standard

Great minds think alike buddy.

Just bought XE inlet cam and verniers, and ph2 chipset is being purchased next week, woohoo!

Comfy 280 bhp?
