thanks for the info mate
always helpful
as i said it will be a toss up between the microwreck or the Wolf 3d i
suppose it will mainly come down to cost, performance and skope for future
modifications. As for contacting brett should i try to contact him direct or
just speak to him through formaz (thats where he is the head tech now for
isnt it?). As far as fuel supply i was going to start with 3/8" lines with a
jecs low pressure pump and a v8 or commodore Hp pump . Uprgrading in this
area is easy in the future so i dont mind too much, easpecially as the cost
of both these pump second hand (even new) is quite minimal. Also if u speak
to brett again today can ya ask him if hes cluey when it comes to the
standard computer wiring ( most of mine is wired up only a few loose ends id
rather get sorted by sumone in the know rather than an auto electrician who
spends all day working on holdens). As ill have to be taking the car to him
or the place i get my exhaust done itd save 2 trips anyway. once again
cheers mate
