Default ALS008 Set myself a PB

Well just got back from calder, and was happy to take out my car for its maiden 1/4 mile run. Was quite pleased with the results; running with 18" Dunlop sp9000's, a full tank of Synergy 8000. AIso removed the spare and jack.

Heres the Breakdown, from a total of 6 runs:

13.64@105.65 60' 2.260
13.53@105.32 60' 2.132
*13.51@105.65 60' 2.122* PB Run :nutsycuck
14.04@104.35 60' 2.129 Shifted into second @ 3000rpm :
13.55@105.55 60' 2.150
13.62@105.42 60' 2.189

Hopefully next time out will be running some drag radials to get that 60' down. But for now im quite pleased. Thanks to Chris @ Bluwpower - job well done

Thats pretty bloody impressive. Especially considering the stock exhaust and 18" street tyres....well done Allen

Heaps consistent as well, except where you missed the shift. Shame because it was a good 60 footer too.

Great work Al, with ET streets, a high 30 would be academic.

Now for the exhaust so you can join club 12!

Well done 1st time out, work on the 60 foot the rest will come......I bet you enjoyed it....
Heard it was very quiet at Calder last night....Maybe because of the AME Ford Vs Holden show..

Yeah i had a great time out there - would have liked to have kept racing To get a 13.4 but my tires were wearing away to soon - will need to change soon i think!!!

Well i was quite suprised actually as most of the cars running were v8's. Maybe only a handfull of turbo's.

Well i said to myself with the ET Streets and getting the launch down, would love to see 13.30 with factory exhaust _2: as a full exhaust is not yet an option.

Also in every run i hit the limiter going 1st to 2nd...... cant beat the limiter yet. Im pulling the stick at 5750 on the tacho!!! 2nd to 3rd shift is good tho.

Well done mate some good tyres should help your 60' also not bad for stock exaust and when Chris's got something to do with it you can expect a good result.
