@ 8:41 hold 3rd even if you feather the throttle. Do you left foot brake at all? There if you hold 3rd you can just dab the brakes coming into the left hander with the left foot then get back on the power. What revs do you redline at? 6800? 7400? On one of the tracks I race at I run to 7600 in 3rd for a split second when I qualify and during the races just feather it at 7400 not wasting time to change gear. Doesn't look like you have a close ratio box and have a 5. something for the rear diff 5.7 at a guess. The turn is still a bit aggressive on the tighter corners listening to the tyres struggling for grip. But you're driving really well and the car looks and sounds fantastic. What tyres are you running? semi slicks on 60% aspect ratio your aiming for around 26/7psi front 21/2psi rear (depending on spring rates).
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, our revlimiter was set to 7400, but we where not able to rev that high. Solved now 😉. Will be in the next video, when we go back to the same track. The extended rev range and smoother power band made all the difference. As you surmised we are currently running a stock 5 speed. 👍 No left foot braking yet and like you say the turn in is a bit aggressive. After the event we went through all our footage and found a long list of improvements and in the next video that pays off. 🙂😉👍 Looking forward to more seat time next year! Do you have a similar car?
I’ve got a 1750 GTV I race in local historic club stuff. It’s pretty well sorted. Hoping to get more seat time this year. Just Been focusing my attention elsewhere the past 2 years.
@@22copes That sounds awesome! Yeah, the last years have been limiting. You based in Sweden? If your going to any Alfa events give me a shout and I'll swing by, or if you know about any other fun track event one could go to. Never been involved in the historic racing scene.
Would love to come and have a look. But I’m currently in the Communistic Regime of Western Australia stocking up on popcorn watching which freedom our ‘politicians’ are going to take from us next.
I would agree on the rev limiter - you are hitting it 500 rpm to soon, also, maybe a more race oriented cam would (though I am not sure what cam you are running) would be ok. I guess it depends on the bottom end of the engine and if it can take more revs 'safely'.... my .02 cents from the couch ;) - - great video!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the rev limiter was a bit of a head scratcher. But it has now been solved 🙂👍 and the engine is being rebuilt for next season. Longer stroke and better oiling to the main bearings is on the agenda. Hopefully I can make a video going through the engine.
@@techstation4903 if you’ve got springs that can handle the revs, and you have lightweight valves (hollow stem or titanium) mine are 2mm larger than stock, but are 40% lighter than stock - they cost $ though sadly :(
@@IanB22 Nice! Titanium valve sounds like an optimal solution. We are currently running Alfaholics valves and a Colombo and Bariani FA5BIS cam. That's a 13.1mm lift and 298 deg duration cam. It's so aggressive we have had to change to 38mm cam followers to make it work.
@@techstation4903 holy geezzzzz yeah - you got CAM for Dayssssss ….drop in springs and use the lighter weight valves and ur good…titanium have a shorter life than the low-weight steal ones but still might be good for your application. That’s a Monstor cam for an ALFA so you need the revs :)

just came across your channel, marvelous piece of car you got here ! Looking forward for a video on what's done to the car !
Thanks! More is on the way. 👍
Beautiful colour. Love the windows. The sound. And also to see such a strong Alfa community in Sweden 💚🤍❤
Gorgeous car.
Thanks! 👍 More work on the car i being done, to make it ready for 2022.

The cams are pretty aggressive, but we where a bit concerned for the valve springs and retainers. The valves are so large.
