Default Sooping up my landy

Okay, it looks like I might be getting close to max revs........ I dont know, I dont have a rev counter. I was wondering if it could not be propshaft related?

But seeing that Moeras reackons I have the fasted series truck in the forum, let me raise the bar.

I am getting to 110 km/hr without overdrive. This however should be rectified as I have an overdrive sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted. If I remember correctly from the brochure, an overdrive should give me a 27.8% increase in speed. If I add this onto my 110km/hr, it looks like I will be able to get to 140km /hr.

Moving from the sublime to the ridiculous and now for the interesting bit, lets say the vibration is being caused by my crankshaft, to increase speed I should take it in so that it can be knife edge balanced, let me through in the camshaft as well at this point.
Secondly I think I must whip off the weber 36dcd I have on there an replace them with twin weber 40dcoe's, an stick this on top of a tuned outlet manifold these I also have in my garage.

Then I need to look at my roadholding, i think i will swop my 7.50 R16 for a set of low profiles like pirellis and fit some stellar mags, and fit adjustable shocks.

So what will the ultimate result be, a series 3 109 that can do 0 to 100 in just under 12 secs, over rocky terrain, and have the same fuel consumption in the region of 2.5kms per litre. I think I better fit some parabolics springs to help with the articulation and fit air suspension under my sit, so that I dont loose any teeth in the process.

cheers
