On normal flat highways(if you do), 155km/h is easy for a GQ within seconds after take off.
I'm guessing Wanneroo raceway hasn't got enough long straight stretches to reach high speeds?!

considering the speed limit on the roads is 110
a GQ weights in at aprox. 2.5T (well mine did)

have you NEVER watched the V8 Supercars on TV Dom....... especially when they run at Wannaroo Raceway - (Barbagallo Raceway)

considering I was running on Gas - I think 155Km per hour is quite a good score card............

Well.......I was hitting 150km/h in flat stretches of NT without much trouble, but can't remember how quickly, but quick enough though.
It was only for few seconds or so. I was on 225/75R16. The odometer was showing around 160km/h, so the actual speed would've been around 150km/h.
It wasn't that hard to get to that speed and the vehicle was pretty stable without revving too high. I could've hit even higher, but didn't have any desire to meet my maker at that time.

I rarely watch car racing, but did like speeding bikes at Grand Prix in Melbourne. :)
I enjoy rough driving, as long as no mud is involved. :D
Getting bogged in mud is no fun for me. :D

I would guess, by looking at that, that Impco (or whoever) have put the Convertor on top of a Sprint type mixer

OMG

That's the standard Impco setup for RB30 carby. What you see in the picture is the Impco 300A mixer, coupled with the model L converter, it seems to be working fine.
It's an approved setup the Vic alternative fuel board fellas.

must be a Victorian thing to blame other states - like on TV, when someone leaves a show, they are always "moving to Perth"..............

So, the standard setup of one fuel at a time(either LPG of petrol) is called dual fuel in Perth(not bifuel)?

Ok, cool. Do you call that system dual fuel or Bifuel?

What do you call LPG/Petrol systems that we use, which only run on one fuel at a time? Dual fuel or Bifuel?
I'm trying to work out what exactly is Bifuel! :)

my L28 had the Vapour ring, and a Vialle converter - which I changed to an Impco converter
my TB42 had an Impco Converter and Sprint mixer - which I changed to a OMVL Converter

Ok, cool I thought it has to be an approved system by the alternative fuel board(at least in Victoria).
I was told combining different brands, or different units aren't that easy due to the regulations.
But, I'm not too sure about that though, could be just heresay from somewhere I reckon.

I have a 4.7L V8 for going fast

I had my GQ for going off road........

my mates RB30 one is the same as my old one on the TB42
Sprint mixer & Impco Convertor on the inside of the guard

I think it depends on the installer and what systems / parts he is using for the conversions
