The V8 Owners Forum -

Sound like a nice bit of kit, But dont you think the cam is a little bit small especially on an engine this size ?

Bloody hell perry ! Your flying. Well Done !! Your doing great with the rover v8

My 9 sec pass in my jeep with an onboard camera on it.

After trying all weekend i managed to run a 9.9@134. It took some doing as when i gave it allof the line it was just lifting and making me back of for a split second. I eventually ran my 9 and now i need to run deeper into the 9s before i sell my jeep at the end of this year

Just managed a 10.5 on my first meeting. Just trying to learn it yet and gain confidence.

Just a little update on my progress. Ive been busy as hell since end of last year and the jeep is finaly out and has had only a few teething problems. Exhaust manifold leaking, battery dead and fan stopped working and front brakes stuck on at the first run then for the 2nd run they had been stripped...

Well done perry, And the picture looks great. You will hit 10s and not know what you did differently. Then you will be beaming.
