Hi guys, did my first ever run on the quarter last night. My best time was ET 13.627 sec at 105.14mph.
What do you horsepower guru's think I am really putting down. I still beleive the ute is capable of 13.5 no worries. (I have to learn more yet) Still had a ball and cant wait to go back. (I know I can get it right, gees its bloody addictive knowing you can do better) Will post a time slip if I ever get my scanner to talk to my computer ![]() Cheers John

For a heavy car, they run great mph. How was your traction?? Get some more grip and times will tumble more.

Hey thanks man, grip was a bit of a problem, and I am only a novice at this so I will inprove
![]() I ran as I would on street with hard cover, spare tyre etc. Except I was running with 20 psi on rear only in 19" standard GT-P tyres. I am supposed to have 365 horses at rear I think (dyno sheet in office) Any way it felt good and I know I can do better. The only thing I might have to do is gat a clutch upgrade. I slipped it half a track on about the 5th run. Thought I was spinning wheels in 3rd at half track :togo: Video shows a fair bit of smoke at **** end from clutch Hehe was fun definately going back

Thanks again guys,

a 13.6 first time out, Bloody awesome.... I went to Willowbank last night and the best I could pull was a 13.9. I was dissapointed I was hoping for a 13.6 with all the mods I have.

Great effort first time mate, as others said get that 60' under 2.00 (will need sticky tyres) and you will do a 12 plenty of room for improvement.

Good first run.
I disagree with the others tho. I think your times won't improve a whole lot with the 6spd. Tyres might make a small difference, but the gearing doesn't help us manual drivers. GT and ur ute have a little taller gearing tho, which might be of benefit.. An auto, yes, you would drop a fair bit of time on good tyres. These big utes are hard to get away cleanly. First needs carefull massaging to get off the line, 2nd can go up in smoke if your too heavy, and a good track will see third hook up. My best 60' on stock tyres ( 18's ) with road pressure is 2.18. What kind of revs are you pulling over the line?? I'm hitting the chimes thru 4th gear before the white line.. Going into 5th costs me 1/2 a second as it's a long change. As an indicator, I ran up 400 rwhp on the APC dyno where u made urs.. and I run 115mph with that tune and a horrid 60' aswell. goood effort |

Good time for your first run John, and a manual too !!!
I have basically the same mods as you but i run a stall convertor and 4.11's. I had a minor issue with some torque reductions still in place, but hope to run a 12 something next time out. I use M/T Et street radials 275/17's and they hook up really well.

Off the mark is difficult and as you say needs practice, to get away clean. I will yell out before I go again

I find it best to drive to your dyno chart, shifting where u make your peak power, regardless of what it is and where the power is made. No point revving to 5900 if the thing is just making noise.. Oh, and make sure the car is running atleast 2 mins before the run, don't kill it and push it to the line etc. The pcm needs this time to get the sensors up to temp and gather it's info.. |

I took my lid off at Heathcote last time, and also ran it with out the tail gate off. The tailgate saved about a 10th, i dont know what the hard cover saved, but they weigh about 70kg apparanty. Mine run that time with only limited r & d time on the edit. Looking forward to the new year when G & D can spend some more time sorting it out, like they have done with their LS1 cars that kick serious a$$.

Superpusuite can and possible will get a high 1.9 60' and will get a very respecable ET accordingly. Go figure it out rule of thumb a fact every .1tenth off your 60' take .2 off your ET and that a auto is any different are you on the funny stuff. Last edited by Quadcams; 30-12-2005 at 10:00 PM. |

Lowride 260 has some valid points, the 60' time is THE most important part of the racetrack. You need momentum from the Hit to get it going.
