Mark, I'll look on my invoice when I'm at home but I don't think you'll get much off if anything off the AMS manis. I dought AMS would give a discount to a fellow competitor, lol

 

I got a pair seemed like a no brainer compared to the Mike Smith manis given the price difference between the two.

Mark on a 6 cylinder engine the injectors will make the cc they are in horse power at 100% cycle duty but you want to be ata max of 90%

so for example 6 x 750cc injectors are capable of approx 750 flywheel horsepower at 100% cycle duty at 45psi but you dont want to go over 90% saftey freshold so they are capable of approx 675 flywheel horse power at 90% same calculations apply to 850cc and so on

Just a Quickie mate-is the Brake Fluid Silicone based?

  • Author

dont think so i did ask if i need to flush the system and they said it can be used/mixed with dot4.0/4.1 without any problems at all

as i did ask

Gulf Competition RF1000 is extremely high performance glycol-based brake fluids designed for use in cars and motorbikes under racing and rallying conditions and is also perfectly suitable for hard road use.

 

Not only does RF1000 far exceed the requirements of the (FMVSS) 116 DOT 4, it has an exceptionally high boiling point, 325 °C – amongst the highest available in the market for glycolbased brake fluids. This feature distinguishes RF1000 from standard high performance brake fluids, as they are suitable for use even when the brake discs get so hot they start to glow orange-red. Under such high temperatures standard brake fluids could exceed their boiling point (typically 230-260 °C) and start to vaporise, thus seriously impairing braking performance.

  • Author

can not beleave how bad the water way design is on these engines ...

the amount of over casting left in there is shocking

 

anyways just spend good hr or two opening the water ways and removing the over cast

on all 6 channels and even the Pump side

it had about 3/4 hole due to cast it now has 1.3" hole

its should give you the exact settings in the instuctions for that specific bolt mark depending on which spec it is

for example a normal 10mm 1.25 arp is 80lbs ft
