Hi Guys,
Had a ball last nite with a new PB. First pass of the nite in Luxo mode (Craig - Phantom, forgot to turn the aircon off when he hopped out of the ute LoL) and a very soft 1200 rpm launch 13.56. 60' 2.151 330' 5.872 660' 8.854 mph 81.84 1000' 11.412 ET 13.560 MPH 103.41 Thought I would try harder for the second pass and ended up stuffing it all up. Tried a 2000 rpm launch and just blew the SP3000's away. Changed into 2nd at 60' and just continued to wheel spin. 60' 2.756 330' 7.060 660' 10.202 mph 79.13 1000' 12.850 ET 15.039 MPH 101.69 Did a couple more 13.6's for the nite and went home early when the dew on the track made even less traction for my car. This is when Wade did a number with his Mickey Thompsons.. (Congratulations mate.) I have got a lot of learning to do with the launch etc. I always thought it was just go to the line and boot it, but it does not appear to work that way. hahahaha Gota thank Chris at BluePower Racing Developments and Simon at Xtreme Ford Tuning for all the fun I am now having in the Ute. Next project:- work on the Minister of Finance for some decent rubber, so I can get the benefit from the tune Chris gave me....thanks mate... ![]() ![]() ![]()

Its a deliberate rich commanded AF ratio, and the spark tables are GTP330's signature moves, with the timing retards in place until I can get up there and meet your car and have a chat with it.
You may see low 11 AF's at the moment, but Im happier in the knowledge that your baby is on the safe side, it will be 107mph plus when I get there. ![]() |

Ok wade - a few more things.
It looks like when you stage the car you are slightly off centre - try and make sure you are "in the groove", especially in a heavy car, it will help the launch. Second thing, those tyres need to be almost a slick before they start to work, and they will stick better and better each time. With lining the car up, try and get it centre as you pull in for the burnout - at WSID its like pomona - straight through the underpass, so make sure u are centred. |

Beware, BluePower is spreading north. Symptoms are burnt out clutchs and worn tyres......

What time did you guys get there?
Was there many people there? I know I have asked these questions before but I am trying to gauge if its worth turning up @630pm or not
