*All tests were conducted using a full tank of normal 95 octane pump fuel, standard factory rubber pumped to the manufacturer’s recommend pressures

But for the record and as valuable information for the more hardcore enthusiast out there, we also conducted tests with 98 octane racing fuel and Av Gas, but this made no difference as our car has been set-up without a hint of detonation and is properly tuned to run 93 or 95 octane pump fuel.

We also fitted a set of Bridgestone 225/40 18 inch semi slicks to limit wheel spin and this saw an improvement of around 0.5 seconds in the recorded times you see above, so they are well worth the effort if you are into drag racing and can live with the extra tyre noise generated from them when on the road in normal driving conditions.

Bolt on exhausts
Gone are the days that you take your half a million-rand Bakkie to a corner exhaust shop for a cheap free flow exhaust. It’s fair to say that the bolt-on free flow exhausts of today at SAC have been revolutionized and are becoming more and more popular amongst the enthusiasts. It is no longer just a poorly welded and routed exhaust that rattles and knocks over every bump, it is a properly engineered, big bore, mandrill bent stainless steel-low restriction exhaust system. It is manufactured in such a way to be a bolt-on fitment in a workshop with very little effort to ensure perfection. Seeing the exhaust system in its raw form, packed and laying on a shelf – it is clear to see that this is an export quality product that will be installed on your vehicle, and it will compliment without any doubt – the performance enhancement plug and play kit and or upgraded intercooler system in many ways – most of all the sound and power will be much improved. The bolt-on exhaust system is routed along the exact same rout under your vehicle and hangs with similar brackets on the standard rubbers. The heat protection that has been provided by the manufacturer under your vehicle to protect the undercarriage is still effective and useful with the fitment of these bolt-on exhaust systems. So, if you want the ultimate Bakkie performance enhancement package speak to our sales and service advisors about a bolt-on exhaust system. Contact us today for your free quotation.
