Rob goes back to his horsepower hero winning past when he gets to work adding some forced induction to a pretty serious Holden V8. See how adding some boost in the way of a Yella Terra Whipple kit to an already heavily modified motor affects the power and how it drives.

After a couple of weeks in Tasmania we head back to sunny Dandenong at the HPF Workshop to have a look at E85 fuels and its use in performance cars.

See the boys at HPF upgrade the fuel systems and setup Steves Evo8 and Charlies GTO to run on E85 and see how the results compare on a very different cars. We also have a chat with Charlie about his magnificent GTO.

Eager to learn more about the use of ethanol based fuels in motorsport we head down to our friends at Garry Rogers Motorsport to see how the use of E85 has impacted V8 Supercars.
