Tim,
Great video and great sound. I am curious about the engine I assume its 289 or 302 and what is your firing order?
I got some footage of my car on the week end (not able to post it however) but it sounds completely different to yours - it is a 347 with the 180 degree exhaust but sounds very V8 muscle car rather than race car like yours.
Cheers,
RV | |

Tim,
I have to agree with Rick, your car sounds very different.
Do you have anything unusual under the rear clip?
Nice video! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

It's an aluminium (302 based) 364 with crossover system. It has some unusual bits and pieces under there but nothing that should really affect the sound.
I've posted some dyno' results on the dyno' results forum (where else? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).
It's down on where it should be but not bad for a first run.
The engine made close to 500 BHP on an engine dyno' in the US with a different inlet setup so we have some work to do to get it back up there.
Can someone enlighten me as to why I can no longer post pictures? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Audi six speed with Pfitzer diff'.
We used the tried and true "suck it and see" modifications on the transaxle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] So far so good.
I have plans to install a not yet available sequential six speed when it's becomes a reality.
