bigh Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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.

Silverline Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDerby Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 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.
