Melbourne Holden and Ford Show
23rd November, 2004

What a big couple of weeks it has been.  In two weeks we put the Crewman and BA Ute together after getting the cars back from Indy we were into it flat out.  Literally bolting parts up out of UPS boxes as we went.  We were a little unlucky with the BA with a Fuel Pump Failure at the dyno, a one in a million occurrence.  We were heading for a good figure but we have to be satisfied with 625hp at the wheels, which still makes it the most powerful BA in Australia.

The Crewman really shone the light, making the Awesome 958hp at the rear wheels, shooting it to the ranks of the most powerful LS-1 in Australia.  Dyno Dynamics were there to legitify the test and check procedures, they told us that the dyno software had been recalibrated to gain more accuracy for high horsepower vehicles, which means the dyno reads approximately 9% less than previously.  This means that if we ran the Crewman at the Sydney Holden and Ford Show a few months ago the dyno would have read over 1000hp at the wheels.  My goal is to get to that magic 1000 hp number.  We had a great time and I feel that we have achieved a great amount.  Building a car in two weeks, driving it 700km to the show, making 958hp at the wheels and driving it home again is totally awesome.

Getting ready for the weekend coming up, the Springnats at Shepparton is on, they haven't got a dyno at the event this year, but I'm sure Bolger will get in the car and torture some tyres off the rims.  The jet van will be there and it should be a great weekend.

I have to say a big thanks to my staff who put in a big effort to get these cars to the show even working all night from Thursday night to Friday morning so that the car was ready for me to drive to Melbourne.  Thanks Guys.

We released the Ford power tuner at the show, an awesome product giving everyone the ability to tune their BA Falcon, more information is available in the news section, click here.  We also released our new Turbo Kit for the LS-1 (see pictures below).  The price list will be available shortly on our website.

Check out the live dyno runs and the film clip that we had made for the show.
