Its either the fact that V6 calipers just give huge amounts of pedal travel or the different m/c is making it worse.
After taking a sorted mk2 for a spin with a pedal box (which the brakes worked with 1mm of movement on the pedal) I think it will end up going down that route at a later date.
My AP's had less pedal travel than these ones !
Hmm my pedal box and wilwoods front and back are terrible on the pedal box!Quote:

theres some good work there mate my mates are always down track an road (steve pitcher) top man they deffinately know there stuff there good luck
Well its been on the rollers since 8pm and the last update was 26BHP lol
Should be all done around midnight so will post back then.
I have the full range! .625, .70 and .75 and they all feel ****. Even fitted a bias velve inline to the rears and have wound that right off as well!Quote:

We switched to a set of 411cc injectors as from the start it looked as if the creams were going to be at 100% duty cycle if the engine made what we aimed for.
Fuel pressure was set to a nice and safe 2.5 bar using those and the mapping commenced !
4 hrs later, lots of tea and enough burgers off the van to feed my village and we come out with 204hp, not what we were looking for at all but the blame was put down to the cam timing.
I was happy to leave it at that and get it sorted then come back after the Ring but Steve was convinced he could play around with the fuelling and ignition to get some more out of it.
I was once again asked if it had steel rods and a decent crank and so the rev limit was raised to 8700rpm !
The next few runs started to make me feel a bit nervous so I made another cuppa and started to smoke my 50th fag for the night, 10 mins later the engine is screaming its tits off and Stave gave me the big thumbs up
222.4hp @ 8640 !
Torque was down to 162lbft but Steve said there is more power left and a chunk of torque when the cam timing is exactly what it needs to be.
Being that it was 1am at this point we knocked it on the head and swiftly gave it a blat down the road whilst looking for somewhere to get some Optimax from followed by a rather long and noisy drive home.
Huge thanks to both Steves at Track and Road, they really stuck at it and got a much better result than even they thought they would get with how the cam timing was !
I'm not off to bed as I'm fooking shattered but I'll post the graphs up in the next few days as we now have to get all the cars ready for the ring.
Ad- prepare yourself for a bit of a mental ride lol
lol; crazy midnight road rolling action
What injectors are you using now? I have picos (330 cc @ 3.5 bar) and they are barely ideling! lol
Nice result though!
Thought the standard cranks could only be revved to 9k!!lol
