I like to see how the throtle body affects the low end tourqe.
Been pondering larger throttle body's for a while.

Was a bit worried about that too but my head guy runs the same TB on his 106 and gets great numbers and my dyno tuner of course says it's all in the tune.. Might take a bit more work but won't be a problem.
Will keep you posted.

Default Nice build! Keep us posted on the exhaust!
Hello Gents, first post here. Judging from all the positive comments this seems like a nice place to hang out. I really look forward to the results with your build and that exhaust as I've been eying it a little myself! Nice job!


Regards,


-Tutt

A 19 hr day and 1000kms round trip to Victor Harbor and dyno is all done,

120.7 hp and 121.47 ft/lbs

That's an increase of 23.7 hp and 7 ft/lbs over what I had before this work.

Rideability is fantastic and boy does she go ha ha.

My engine building and choice of parts went alright and a big thank you to Mark Hood for the headwork and Neville Lush Racing for his great work on the dyno

That Crane 296 is no longer available,(we have one on the shelf) but sure did work well for us here as well in the engine combos we had used them in.
A little "ticky" but a good cam.

Good numbers. Could you post your dyno chart? I run the Crane 296 also and would like to see your motor's torque curve with the Bob Cats...
