We check out Deerk’s awesome XE Fairmont Ghia “DUTCHN” as it gets tuned and put through a few power runs on the Tune Corp Hub Dyno.

The car has just undergone a new engine build at Prowest High Performance starting with a Dart Windsor Block, Stroker Crank out to 400 Cubes, Steel rods, Forged pistons, Solid Roller Camshaft, Ported CHI Aluminium Heads and a 950cfm carby all running through a C4 and 9 Inch Diff.

After last weeks effort on the dyno where a Pinion Bearing failed, the diff was removed and completely rebuilt. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h910HyEifyM

Early runs on the dyno were already showing 500rwhp, but with some carby tweaks and a little more timing the team finished with a very respectable 577rwhp out of a pump fuel 400 cube small block. Perfect for a weekend cruise or a good belting at an event.

Stay tuned for more feature videos over the coming weeks.

Thanks to Prowest High Performance & Tunecorp.

Hosted by the Wally Boys Racing Car Club with all funds raised given to the Walliston Primary School, the Horsepower in Hills Car Show brings together every make and model of modified car and bike for a 1 day show.

Unfortunately the weather today was less than average which kept numbers down compared to previous shows, but there was still a solid turnout.

Check out the Feature video and Burnout Test of Steven Gledich’s INSANE Blown Injected VL Calais “KARMA”.

Running a Rodeck Block, Aluminium Internals, Aluminium Heads, Dry Sump, 14/71 Hi Helix Littlefield Supercharger with around 30 Pounds of Boost, 44 Amp Magneto and a Rare Carbon Fibre Injector Hat from the US Army Schumacher Top Fuel Team it’s pushing out around 1,800hp through a 2 Speed Glide and 9 Inch Diff.

This was the first time on the pad for Steven after testing the car on a few tracks over the last 18 – 24 months. Unfortunately an engine bay fire cut this Burnout short as it melted the Fuel Shut-Off Cable and Accelerator Cable.

Watch this space as we’ll be back for more testing over the coming weeks..

HUGE Thanks to Pure Grunt Performance for their assistance.
