How much power in that sucker? 2 liter? Sound like some very hot cams.

Thanks guys, its really lots of fun.
This Giulia is doing 0-60 in about 6.3 sec.

All the engine parts were modified, lots of weight was taken out from moving parts. The cams are very hot, the CR is about 1:13.

About the camera, I used my elbow on the steering wheel...

Wow!

That throttle response is amazing, I take it you've lightened the fly wheel?

How tractable is it in the low range? My 'warm' 2 litre has nothing below 4k rpm, and that's with 'mild' cams.

Wow - great video

That just looks and sounds great. I am hoping that when I get my Super back on the road in a few weeks that I will be able to do the same - almost. Mine is a 2 litre with ported heads so it probably puts out a healthy 120-130 odd HP. On top of that I am stilll running the final drive from the 1300 - but, I have one up the sleev. Putting a 40% torsen LSD in right now, and couple to a set of 7x15" GTA rims shoukld put me in te league of getting reasonable sub 10 second 0-60 times.

Looking forward to be ing able to post a few pictures and videos on the forum.

Great ...

Not only the flywheel but all the moving parts were lightened.
I have a nice response starting from around 2700 rpm, it is pulling from 1500 rpm with no problem.

I raced aagainst an Impreza, in the very begining he is faster (4*4) but on the end of the second gear I started to overtake. Unfortunately here you can see only the second time on the trafic light without me overtaking...

Later people came to "check" whats under the hood...

How is the gas in Israel? Hopefully it's not as bad as gas in the USA. What is the price of gas there?

Grant,
I could be wrong, but I think you'll find that gas is still cheaper in the US than most places in the world. The Toronto area where I live is no where near the most expensive place in Canada for gas, and it's over $1.26 per litre today. I think it's gone up about 5 cents per litre (about .20 per US gallon) this week
