Hi All. The y32se conversion is epic. I sprint and drag race very effectively. How do I get pictures added? Here. Do I need to host elsewhere and just post links ?
Hi Mikey. Yes, you need to find a host for your pics, I use this one

My friend's x30 engined MGB is an excellent road car, and will soon be further improved with the taller diff from a V8

I do sprints, hillclimbs, track days and more recently run what you brung drag racing.

This is against the supercharged jag.

I wonder if it would perform better or worse without the multirams, and if that is part of the issue  :-\

Cool car nevertheless  8)

Thank you Doctor. I don't have multirams, thinking i knew better, ripped it all out and but on the K&N. But now I'm thinking ... GM spent a load of money developing it, must have been a reason ?

Are they any good.

Yes thank you. Apols moderator is it worth combining threads somehow. I'd like to continue this informed debate but accidentally set two hares running !!

So Doc, the set up I have goes very well. I'm just trying to get any remaining torques and horses available (Within reason. )

The Dual mass flywheel has been replaced with the Red Top solid one and a helix pressure plate so its spins up well.

I run LPG for every day and sprint / race on petrol

I have an aftermarket dual fuel ECU fully mapable . Literally flick a switch between the two.

Im looking at turbos, high lift cams or X25XE heads (increased compression apparantly ) 

I run the R28 5 speed box :(

The box is OK it will take some abuse, but doesn't take kindly to being ripped from gear to gear...

To give you an idea, standard police manual 3.2s are 7 seconds 0-60 and top out at 150 (in Mexico)  :D
