Hi Andrew it doesn't look like many on here coming down, everyone must be too busy getting ready... I just saw a report about lots of extra police on the Hume Hwy but I suspect they're after the skiing holiday makers rather than us cobra drivers

BJ I guess you're not staying overnight but if you are, there are a few of us having an unofficial dinner at Trappers, I'm sure you'd be more than welcome to join in. The weather is not looking too bad, chance of a shower or two means there's a chance of it not raining doesn't it?

Merv I haven't owned the car for that long, I'm still working through a long list of minor issues with the car. This week was a blown exhaust manifold gasket, and a hole had to be welded up. There was an adapter plate made of thin stainless between the water pump and the timing cover which pressure tested ok but once things heated up it leaked as it had a very fine crack in it, so a thicker version was machined up then of course the gaskets on the timing cover had to be replaced. As far as the tune went we put in cooler plugs as it was predetonating. The 311 hp was before the exhaust was fixed and with drag radials on so in all probability it would be a quite a bit higher than that. I'm not sure who built the motor but it should be good for close to 400hp it has a steel scat crank and rods, block relief with half inch studs, Mellings pump, steel double row timing, probe pistons 30 thou over, Victor Jr alloy heads 2.02 and 1.6, Holley Systemax 75mm throttle body, 30lb Holley injectors. Trickflow cam Hydraulic Roller, 339/352,Lift .542/.563 I think it was rebuilt about 4 years ago. I think thats about it lol.
