Steve - yes you can use a replica GT40 for CAMS OR AASA competition. YouTube and search 200MPHGT40. You'll then see a wide variety of events that I have done. What you do with a GT40, real or replica is basically limited only by your imagination, chequebook and of course driving ability. So buy...

Re: Racing Setup? My 40 has 200MPH plates. Does that help this conversation? Reality check - I hit 230 kph down the hill at wanneroo raceway. Then it's time for this little thing called a corner that seem to get in the way of top speed. Who'd have thought it?! Quickest for me was 1000m...

Had a great time at the McRae Rallysprint (Yes, the Scottish McRae rally legends, Alistair, Colin, Jimmy) about a week ago. Co-Driver brought the Go-Pro and we got some good footage. Car went hard with no issues all day and we did well, best ever placing. Three different views - course run in...

Couple of clips of my gt40 at racewars. YouTube search racewarstv. Sorry, me not know how to link. There is also an in car 1000m standing start video I did, search 200MPHGT40

Forget it. You are fighting the fundamental laws of thermodynamics here and you will lose. The energy you invest in getting the air cold will be more than the gain you will get from inducting denser air. But if you want to believe it, I've got a perpetual motion machine I'd like to sell you...

Forget all your theorising for now and just get on with it and build one. How fast is a GT40 replica? How much money do you have is the answer. Mine has a 380 RWHP (dyno dynamics) 347 motor and weighs 1110 kg wet. I don't have any 1/4 mile times (it's on my list, but not at expense of other...

As Scott says, you can change to the Porsche 951 (944 turbo or s2) gearset. I did this after smashing my 016 diff pinion. Search my threads and you will find what is involved. For the cost and effort don't bother is my advice. Get an 01e instead!

How much for the eightstack.com system? Looks pretty much like the weber carbs at a casual glance for sure. The DC&0 setup on my 347 works very well, but does not have the old school look they do.

My boss block ( Gen 1, no rear ribs) has lasted 2 seasons of competition in my 40. Rev limited set to 7000 rpm, power is 380 rwhp and climbing still at the limiter. It is a 347, 3.4 in stroke and 30 thou over bore. Revs very freely as you'd imagine from the power still rising at 7k. YouTube...

First answer is you're doing it wrong. With your mentioned budget you could swap your 016 for an 01e and have a strong trans. Don't want a 6 speed? Easy - don't use 6th gear! It's just a well overdriven cruising gear anyways. If you choose to ignore good advice, do what I did - adapt a Porsche...

But you are a homo Dave. No 40 = ghey, so feel free to go right ahead and get the mx-5 I know you're dreaming of... Back on topic. G boy, putting any semi decent car near a track will cost whatever you can afford, plus some. That's not a cop out answer, just the reality. You got 3k to blow in...

Cause the RF isn't a rip off of a Tornado itself, noooo...

With the Aussie dollar going hard right now, buying in a completed car less motor/trans is a smart thing for sure. How will you go for rego with a Superperformance? Am I right in guessing you'll be going the VIC club rego 90 day permit thing? Jealous we don't have that here in WA, but no...

You can modify you 944T trans to mate up to you existing gearbox. I did that. But I do t recommend it for all the work and cost it will take. Search my thread for how to do it. An 01E from advanced automotion would be the most logical and straightforward swap, but how much you actually need to...

Good that the 351W manifold has the IDA pattern. Means you have a few options for air filters from K&N and any number of filtration suppliers. The 302W setup has the velocity stacks touching and are fairly difficult to get a suitable high flow filtration solution. In the end I took the painful...

Gtrene, I have a Quaife atb diff in my 40 and it is only driven to track, raced and then driven home. Compared to plate type LSD it is completely smooth and you can't even tell difference to an open diff. No understeer on turn in and fantastic corner exit traction even at full throttle in 2nd...

Search a bit, this has all been discussed before I'm sure. Anyways, my experience is with DC&O inlet setup on my 302W (347 stroker). Works well, but you need to add a progressive throttle cam linkage to make it more driveable. They have a 50 mm bore and my motor spins to my self imposed 7000...

Finally got around to uploading recent (Sept 10 - present) in car videos from hillclimbs and circuit sprints. Car is DRB#67 GT40. I'm finally getting on top of a few problems and getting some speed and consistancy out of it, which makes a nice change! My lovely work computer blocks youtube, so...

I'm running DS2500 pads all round. 330 x 28 front discs, 290 x 23 back discs, 4 piston calipers everywhere and a dual master cyl and balance bar arrangment with no assistance. Happy with pad performance, but they do tend to squeal very LOUD under light braking quite often. I use car only for...

Good info there Jim. I have had mine removed over the summer months too, though I didn't get around to testing back to back. Took it off when the sump was swapped and it never made it back on. On at hot day (33) and a 4 km long rally stage my temps were 130 engine oil and around 105 water at...
