cheers Rob,
Quick update from the weekend,
car ran faultless all the way to pod and home (FW 1.1.44)
even burnt off a couple of cossies on the way ;-)
at pod did the normal burn out,
staged at the line, lights went green and nailed it, it launched like she has never launched before off the line, straight and hard, the whole car creaked, hit shift point, cogged it into second, loud bang from under car and it all started shaking like mad,
backed off mid track and cruised through top end with a 14.8 sec pass. which was good as the last part we were cruising :-)
when we got the car back to the pits we noticed the suspenssion mounts had sheared off the axle, the diff nose had rammed its self into the trans tunnel leaving a huge dent, and bent the axle locator bars, im pleased to say we now have shite loads of torque coming from the V8. and she hooks up spot on with no wheel spin.
checked timing ticket, best 60ft time we recorded was 2yrs ago with the 3.9 v8 and 150shot of gas which gave us a 1.8sec 60ft.
Sunday with the new 4.6 and with no gas we recorded a 1.9sec 60ft
i know its off topic but goes to show the 1.1.44 FW does work :-)
