Part 2 of my journey took me to Sam's!
I showed up after driving past the place twice!
They were busy pushing some familiar metal out the front! A Black Monaro and a White Calibra, another well known very quick vehicle was under sedation inside!!!!!
I left my car there for the day and returned later, I had been told that it had pinged a bit on another dyno so I mentioned this!
Sam beckoned me over, and then said that it is the worst car I have had here!!! I thought Oh dear! :( What did it do?
He said only 220rwhp initially! He showed me the timing? I think it was and they were all 10 and he said that is a low as my machine will read..they were probably lower!:(
Oh dear poor car!
Anyway he then showed me the after results and it was up around 315rwhp!
Gulp!
Drove it around that night as Sam wanted it to be fine before I returned home!
It was raining a bit so I could only sample its power a few times!
WOW is all I can say. People say I smile a lot, but this has made it even harder to stop!!!!;)

This car is now a rocket! I took a few people for a drive on Saturday night and they are as astouded as me!

I would like to thank my mum, dad and all my friends!!! errrrrr wrong speech!!!:)

I would like to thank Sam and his crew for waking my car up out of it's slumber! Another :thumbsup: from me!!!!

So we are still on holidays Nick, been doing a couple of trips to nowhere again I see :D
Not too sure what the references to the 10's are but still a decent increase all the same, so at this point you have a Sureflo catback and tune by Sam, is that right ?

It has to be asked, is it still using a MAF ? :hide:

Oh no, are you sure you will be able to handle the car between gear changes? :p

Can't wait to take a look at the exhaust and get a ride in it! :burnout:

Must say thats the trip i'll be making with my next car if it's an LS1. Moto don't lose the map!:P

I actually went on a "cruise to nowhere" with the starting point nowhere!!!
Maybe it wasn't timing! Don't forget I am a "traffic light" not a mechanic!!!;)
Sureflo full exhaust, tune by Sam...oooppps forgot the diff gears too!!!;)

The MAF is on the MIA list at the moment!!!!!:)

Erik, you may be very surprised how good the Battlecruiser mk11 goes ;)

I went for a sedate :lol: drive in this saturday nite :D

It rocks, and the exhaust note is probably the best i have heard for a while :p

Well done to Sam and Thunder for the exellent work they have done for MOTO
