$18 or $20 to watch You need long sleeve clothing and a helmet so you are allowed to run, also you need to make sure you battery is secure and that you a have a bottle conected to your radiator overflow. I think thats all. |

Good results for me tonight at Calder park. My fastest run was 15.12, down from 15.62 last time. :sm_headba
The only new mods were the electronic shift kit and LSD with 3.73 gears. I'll get the timeslip up soon as I am at work at the moment. |

A 15.12 is a bloody awesome time from an auto forte with such minimal mods....well done
 What was your 60' and mph on that run?

Forget the Unichip and cam for now, you are already making really good power. Spend the money on a higher stall converter....you'll be well into the 14's.
Most guys with 3000rpm converters are 60 footing around the 2.0x-2.1x mark. With a 60 foot time in that range, you would be running around 14.7-14.8. I shouldn't talk though, I've still got the stock converter in my ute, and as much as I know it will help, I keep getting sucked into other mods... Anyway, good time man, thats very impressive from a forte with just a zorst and gears.

as xr8ute said, get a stall converter, then when you have the money next time around get a cam, and get the chip installed and it will more than likely give you low 14's to high 13's...well that may be pushing it a bit...but a time like that with so little mods, very well done
