I have in my car half a dozen time slips with 13.4 on them,the car is at its limit with the tyres.Not a lot of wheel spin from the line but changing in to second i have to get of the gas let the tyres hook up and then on it again and the same in third gear.

All i can say is i am in the process of getting some new rubber and will be back at the track ,hopefully with simon and doc for some even lower 13 second passes and even high twelves.

I rang simon and let him know how it went and he was very happy with the results and also believes that if we get some better tyres lower ET's are possible.

Congratulations simon you have done a great job of the tuning and i guess it shows when you get good ET's and people looking at getting there cars quicker ask questions about who did it and i am only too happy to pass your name around. :eclipsee_ : :

Chris,thanks for that i think we got a good result all things considered.Im in the hunt for a low 13 high 12 and with some more SB tuning and maybe replace the STD headers and tyres it is well within my reach.

The ball is definately starting to roll over here in the west and simon has given his all to me,doc and a few others to make sure we get the results. :

There was a supercharged 290 there that managed a 12.8 or 12.9 from memory, it sounded awesome.
