13's on my street rubber in the 290 ute, manual. Got a 12.99999 on MT's once. This was with all bolt ons and tune.

Unopened ???? If you dont count oil pump gears

I have stepped up a league now though......

My bad spoke to him last night, he did the 13.0 on dunlops and the 12.85 on MT streets. Only know of Daboss that did a 12.4 on his streets in his 290 which is a very good effort indeed.

Yes they are street tyres but about as sticky as MT streets, correct me if Im wrong Jayba but I think he means normal street tyres eg: factory dunlops etc.
And is yours a 260?
