Talking New PB for Jabba and Elite Automotive

Well I finaly cracked into the 11's witha 11.919 @ 117.28... It was a lot off hard work, but paul from Elite and I did it... We removed 150kg and installed a shift light.. Tyres were MT ET street and they were a problem.. At 17psi I could launch very well, but change into second and it would wheel spin alot... It was not untill my last 2 runs I sorted out the traction issues (huge burnouts sorted that).. We only managed to get in 6 runs, and it wasn't untill the 5th and 6th I started to get some rythm and find the sweet spot so to speak... had I got a few more runs in I have no doubt I would nocked off another tenth, maybe 2....


I learnt alot what I have been doing wrong with my gear shifts last night... on my last run I tried some thing differant... Usualy I will hold 3rd and cross the line at 7500rpm... This time I shifted into 4th 100mtr from the finish and I picked up 3mph...

I'm stoked.. And there will be Footage up as soon as I get it...

If I am correct, For it class ( 5.4 Boss NA), This ute is now the fastest and quickest 5sp manual..... I think it is now the fastest manual. We are the only 5.4 to be using 3.7 diff gears..... We are also the only 5.4 NA Boss to be using MT ET Street.. The rest are on full slicks and front runners....
Please if I am incorrect, then please tell me....
