me and my mate wanna see who has the better ****box when we choose a spot to drag in the upcoming months, he has the VK series 1, and i own an 82' VH with a blue 202 reco., which i reckon will poon the black motors of the vk's. i stuck a brand new 3.3 diff in mine and im sure the vk's were a 3.5.
i just hope the drag lasts longer than the 1/4 mile so the engine can rev out with the diff. has n e one got n e other ideas to make the VH faster to make my frend crap his pants, without expensive parts before race day?

Don't be so sure you'll whip him, as the VK is lighter than a VH (not a lot, but it helps), the carby VK 202 makes marginally more power, and the EFI 202 kicks a carby one into the weeds.
Unfortunately his shorter gears will be the winning advantage ov |
