WSID 31st Aug

[data_mine]

I'll be heading up to WSID next Wednesday, any other Ford powered beasts going/interested in going?

First run on new diff ratio, keen to see what it'll do.

The Capri sure got my brothers attention. He came up to me asking what motor had the plugs un the middle of the head and a cam chain on the front, i dont think he'd even considered seeing that in a Capri before

thanks mate, yeah its definitely something different. the 1UZ are a great motor, we'd love for it to be all Ford but cube wise the 4L 1UZ was the biggest could go.

9.0 rule been around since forever, it's very dangerous to run any quicker even 9.0 is scary, Joe was all over the place a couple runs, on a good prepped track it runs straight as. got a little scared cos first pass it ran a 8.98 i said i stuffed the tune and they less us drop the boost and run again. was on around 18psi to run 9.0. she has a bit of bling bling under the bonnet got a fair few stares and surprises when people seen it driving home.

had a couple mates there, the XB was only running 5psi, had a boost controller stuff up. and another mate in his VZ SS twin turbo V8 (full weight 1900+kg) ran an 11.8@129mph on street tyres not radials proper street tyres. the ANDRA official asked how can u run 130mph on street tyres, he just shrugged its a 6-speed manual and was doing 2.2 60's. the crazy thing is it was only on 10psi, on the PUMP GAS BP98 tune it made 1030rwhp@22psi he got a little worried about the box so he packed it up early. he is going to put it on E85, put more boost in, put an auto and 9''. the thing has enough power to run low 9's now. with E85 and more boost it would probably run mid-high 8's

Mate I can do 2.2 60's so once he gets that diff and box and launch setup right he is going to save nearly a second just off his 60 foot time and that will carry forward to more savings for the rest of the track. Damn thats going to be 1 quick XB.

Ill be keen for a Wed night in a couple of weeks let me know when you guys are heading out next and ill make the drive up.

seeing the VZ run last night i was very impressed. had good gear changes also for the first time out.

the XB on 10psi i worked out should just get into the 10's @ 125mph. a 20psi tune will be coming soon. were trying to talk him into maybe doing an E85 tune also but he doesn't want to, he doesn't like the fuel

i think Pete's going out again in the XB next week, we will take the Capri out again the following week. come over and say g'day. Joe in the blown syline gets a lane for himself, so we just jump in with him. it's good for the crowd they get to see 2 low 9-sec cars racing each other. i thought i was on Jersey Shore with all the fist-pumping going on when those 2 race

that's half the fun. we're gonna push back the E85 tune maybe just run 18psi that should bring us down from 8.2's to 9.0's. not allowed to go faster than 9.0's on Wednesday street meets.

[dieseltrain79]

I reckon run it on the PSi thats currently setup for launching

not sure it would be enough. makes 510rwhp on 10psi. 14psi maybe 580rwhp, needs 650-700rwhp to run 9.0. Pete is bringing the banana out also. could run a 10.7@125 on 9psi.

[rickyros]

i should be out if my cars back

[Giant]

Jealous have fun guys.

Yep saw it being checked.. Looks real nice..Esp under bonnet !!!
How long has the 9 sec rule been in ???
I guess it keeps the pro's away from cheap t&t...

[Stav]

[Stav]

Great videos!

TTV8 VZ I thought it would have had more in it. Must be pushing over 400rwkw

yeah, 425rwkw@10psi, 560rwkw@15psi and 770rwkw@22psi has 2 GT35/40's with 1.06 backs it just makes the power so easily. the turbo's are good for up to 1050kw @ the engine so that is the target, not bad for a daily street car it will be an absolute weapon when he gets the *** end done and an auto box.

The following week sounds good more likely then next week. Well you guys can please the crowd while I give them a rest and run a solid 15 - sec haha.

they should group them in times instead of cylinders. have 9-sec, 10-sec, 11-sec, 12-13-sec and 14+sec lanes. close racing is good racing, more fun for people to watch.

data_mine well done on the PB mate, 3/10ths improvement is a huge gain.

Might take some research on their hands or competitors to nominate a group perhaps. I'd be all for it though. Ive been 5-6 times now the last few months and Wednesday night i had my closest run yet against a purple BA XR6. He beat my time by 0.2 but i had a 0.3s faster reaction and was 4mph faster. Interesting dynamic as we went down the strip.

Nice mph there too. 96 mph is good for a 14.2 1/4 mile run.
Saw your car run too..good effort

[data_mine]

Was a good night, I bested my PB from a 12.7 to a 12.4.

[Falc'man]

FPV GTHO, are you planning on getting a tune?

That's excellent. Need to update the sig.
Is that from 3.45s to 3.9s?
