there Distributed from W.A.
Caltracs Traction Enhancement Kit. Are you tired of false promises from suspension shops? Have you spent alot of money with one that promises the world but their product does not deliver? The revolution in leaf spring traction enhancement is here. This is the product the chassis shops don't want you to know about! Why spend $4000 plus dollars cutting up your pride and joy installing a 4 link kit, back half chassis, new floor, wheel tubs etc etc making your car undriveable except for the straight line action. CalTracs give the same end results and bolt in for most applications. How fast do you want to go? 8 second quarter mile times are no problem. The more power you throw at CalTracs the more efficient they are. Why? Because CalTracs alter the pushing angles on your rear planting your tyres harder to the track and CalTracs are not power limited. Full suspension geometry is retained.

CalTracs are fully adjustable to suit the track conditions, allows instant centre adjustments to improve your vehicles weight transfer advantage (this is where the system is the same as a 4 link), stops leaf spring wrap up & axle tramp, improves 60ft times in most cases. Make your vehicle launch like a cut snake. Applications- Drag racing, Circuit racing, Targa racing, Street (check complience in your state), Towing, 4WD. Want more info on this revolutionary product- email us for an info pack, check out our ad's in Just Parts & Extreme, check out our site or call during normal business hours.

you cant be serious alex, I would never try and say my car or any car had stock gears if it didnt. Mine and mats are both stock. Mats doesnt have alot MPH (106.8)(It has run a 108)as he has FACTORY HEADERS and CATS. Mine did 107.8 and i lifted off the gas(im sure you all know why), i believe that pass was a 12 with 110 + MPH(But lets not speculate), believe it or not it doesnt matter. When my car gets there it wont pussy foot around, it will get right back to where it was and run a 12 if it doesnt break any rear end components.

No diff gears here mate, like isaid all stock.

Jeff, you have got a 1.90 60' on the standard Dunlop 17's SP3000's, and you had no aftermarket tune

Alex has always said he drives off the line without a clutch drop to save his driveline, yet still runs 13.3's or so with between 2.10-2.20 60 footers. I've done a 2.04 on the dunlops early on before the mods, need to get that into the perfect run though

I don't think an edit is going to help Alex hugely with his 60 footers. He just drives it off the line. To better his 60 footers he is going to have to work on his takeoffs. He may well ET better and get a better mph, and even a slightly better 60 foot with the edit but there is more to be gained in technique.
