    Love the sound of that cam. Looks like a blast to drive.

    Awesome car seems to be pulling strong! Any tips for making the 1500 a bit faster?

      Thanks - I've developed the car over the last 10 years, its still road legal and used on the road, there's no single magic bullet but a few of the mods I'm running
      1. Save weight - I've replaced all the wings, bonnet with fibreglass (also cut away the slam panel), bumpers, heater removed
      2. Engine - ported head, fast road cam, balanced & lightened internals to up the rev limit, cold air feed, head skimmed to up CR, +60 overbore, electronic ignition
      3. Diff has been changed to give better acceleration, currently running a 4.5, along with a ford type 9 gearbox which gives a longer 2nd & 3rd than the standard box
      4. uprated suspension - lever arms replaced with adjustable shocks, stiffer springs, uprated anti roll bar, panhard rod and anti tramp bars
