New 3 valve record

[Chris]

Guys and Girls,

Craig "3v King" ACE is out at calder at the moment beating on his own 3v record in a clients vehicle.

12.66 @ 109, 1.86 60ft.

Young Robby (owner) is about to have a steer........

Usual mods, Bluepower/ACE air system
Bluepower while-you-wait custom tune
Bluepower spec diff and converter
and this week we picked up 12rwkw by ditching the paceys and fitting a difilippo system.

Car weighed in at 1650kg without driver, still heavier than Craigs.

Not bad for a little truck motor.......

[Jeeepers]

WOOHOO!!! I was talking to Robby today, and had a feeling he was gunna do the 3v proud. Well done Craig and Chris, the accolades will not stop here... :

[347_XR8]

Good work Boys! That is just unbeleivable!

[ratter]

Well done to all involved. It shows that ACE and Bluepower can get these 3 valvers going quite quick :

[Dannopower]

[Quadcams]

Well done boys! The 3v's on fire.

[XA-Coupe]

Well done !, the 'little brother' certainly has some teeth these days !

Excellent time, well done guy's.....the 3 valve seems to be responding to the bolt-ons as good as the Big Boss.
1650kg how much does the 3V weigh from factory, is it a ute or sedan?

[Chris]

Mark, the car has had WEIGHT REMOVED.

I will have to chat to the guys, but im sure that the car is missing towbar and pass seat. Mark, it also has lightweight wheels and tyres, imho about tenth to tenth and a half just there.

UPDATE - 12.58 with the 120kg owner driving!!!!

Isn't it unreal for the fords when we have

Ratters ute 11.7
Kev's ute 12.1
Cams ute 12.4
Rods ute 11.5 @ a whopping 131
my ute 11.2 and 11.9 NA
your F6 11.6 min mods
Daboss UNREAL 12.9 stock driveline
Dave C unopened GT 12.4
mauzy's 12.7
Craigs 3v 12.7
Hamo's and tripowers in the 14.3's
Krissy and stav well into the 14's
Stevey at RDP in the low low tens,
Adam in the 9's

and the edit has only been out less than 2 years....

Wait until summer!!!

[Stav]

You guys are definatley the cooter!!!

[SpoolMan]

12.5 Wow.... I am starting to think the 3 valve may be a better V8 package when you consider they are a cheaper Falcon to start with.
The 3V is having us much power pulled out of it as the boss 260.....excellent work.

Its a shame Ford or dropping these engines. :

For sure, shows how much these 3v's can be improved, or how much they are restricted in stock form

Good work guys, top time for the supposedly-called "lesser" 5.4!

[Kev_BLNXR8_Ute]

Well done guys. :
Absolutely bloody brilliant.
I think there is alot more to come from our Heavy Fords. :

[dute]

Contender?

Hey man the 3 valver is just about leading the way in the "sedan" class.

1 = Dave C GT 12.46
2 = Bobby 3V 12.58
3 = Me 3V 12.71
4 = DABOSS GT 12.91

The top 4 has 2 GT's and 2 x 3 Valvers.

Can't see any XR8's in there anywhere.

Cheers Craig

[XRQTR]

Settle down there now fella, someone get a hose quick and some raw meat with a tranquilizer.

Folks it might be an idea to not taunt this particular exhibit, aka CRAIGUS ACEOUS MAJORIS, if only you could see the look of blood lust in his good eye last night, without doubt one of the scariest things I have ever seen, and the look in his eye was pretty bad too :

But seriously though a top effort once again, have been there now for both the 3V records so far, mate I rekn you gott start payin me to be your lucky charm. Well done Craig and Chris for yet another top setup, I wonder how long now before we start seein BA company cars at Calder again :dr_Evil:

As Nike once said................just do it!


It's rather lonely in here with Chris and myself, he keeps telling me how great his dyno is and how much he loves it :

[Craig]

Thanks for the kind words everyone it's much appreciated, it's always nice to fly the ford flag at the drags and to come out on top. When preparing the car yesterday i said to the owner (Bobby) this thing is going to eat my record it's just a tough car.

1st run 1.86 60ft 12.66 @ 109.03 (Me driving)
2nd run 1.86 60ft 12.67 @ 108.80 (Me driving)
3rd run 1.86 60ft 12.67 @ 108.70 (Me driving)
4th run 1.83 60ft 12.63 @ 108.61 (Bob driving)
5th run 1.79 60ft 12.58 @ 108.84 (Bob driving)
6th run 1.86 60ft 12.69 @ 108.66 (Bob driving)
7th run 1.82 60ft 13.37 @ 106.15 (Me driving hit the limiter on the 1-2 big time my mistake)
8th run 1.78 60ft 12.60 @ 108.18 (Bob driving)

The car is a BA XT 3 valve sedan, auto in race trim like my car was at the last AFF Drag day.

We at ACE are extremely pleased that the R & D on our own cars can be put to good use on our customers cars with great results. Now i need to get my own car flying. And i better change my signature. :

Cheers Craig

Thats what I call service!

Well done guys.

An ACE 3v is definately firming up as top contender for replacement of the AU when the time comes.

[xr8ute]

Thats seriously impressive. Well done to all involved

Its good to see so many late model Fords going off-their-heads at the track.

[WASP]

Damn great time Craig. Well it looks like I'm gonna have to sell the GT and get a XTV8..lol!!
