Oh No... Here we go again.

I think we are getting away from the point here a bit. We aren't putting down the performance of the Fords. There were some astounding displays of blue oval Horse Power on the week end.

What we are impressed with is the out of the box performance of the LS1 in Phils car. His motor is internally stock as a rock, exactly as it was in the Commodore it was pulled from.

The engine hasn't had a spanner turned on it. The only mods done to it were an exhaust system and an air intake both of which were nescecary since the stock GM equipment wouldn't fit anyway.

Also remember that Phils car still needs a lot of sorting. He's never had it on the drag strip before and before going to Winton the car only had 1000KM on the clock.

I reckon it's a pretty impressive first up performance with a lot of potential left for improvement.

Cheers
