Aha!
There is only 3 or 4 real purpose built Dragstrips in NZ
Closed roads and airports are the rest.
A lot of circuit racing tho. Levels Race Track is about 8km away

Calgary (where I live) has 1.7 million people and zero tracks. We have 1 to the north 200 miles and 1 south 200 miles.

Does it being a frozen waste land in winter cause problems for race track surfaces?
Or just not enough Petrolheads
When we had a really nice facility here, the track was shut from October until late May. We only have an average of 120 frost free days in a year.
When the track was open in Calgary, we would have a couple of hundred vehicles on a Friday Night Test and Tune.

Kiwi srt did you used to work for fonterra?
It’s called FROST BITE LOL
Not an edge in the Hp .. and edge in the protection of and the cost appears to be cheap enough .. No matter the Tune / Tuner the heads etc .. detonation can rear its stinking ugly head at anytime there are a lot of variables like bad gas had sensors or sucking in a cockroach into the intake lol … worth checking into it for a safety insurance policy .. heck ehat another few dollars anyway lol ..
Yep

Nice. I'm Ernies son. I did a manual conversion on my quad cab, now thinking of doing a forged internals rebuild and supercharging it
Yes you have a tyre shop in Kerikeri.
You need to talk to John at Southeast Performance. He can get everything you need for your build. It is a big thing to have a build design and then stick to it. You name the horse power he can design it. It just takes boot loads of money. Don't just buy some parts here and some parts there only to find they are not compatible once they arrive. Then you need a local engine builder who has ever seen a Viper motor....good luck with that too.

Good luck to you both!

I see JTS have Supercharger kits
Change pistons, rods, cam, cam followers, pushrods, valve springs, valve seats, Fit heads Studs, fit main cap studs, Maybe better main caps, Oil pump gears, better clutch, maybe head work, valves etc.
Keep your eyes open for Striker Heads
I would allow $40kNZ for starters
If I had they money I would have had John build a motor and send it. I would ask to see if that is an option, then sell your standard engine
Just remember Duty and GST on everything including freight and Duty
