One of our (Blue Power & Aussie Car Enhancements) customer cars tonight at calder ran into the 12.3's at around 114.7 MPH 1.97 60ft twice. I left at 8.45 and he said he was going to let it cool down and give it another shot. Possibly a 12.2 in the making.
The car is a BA GT with the following Full Di Filippo Exhaust Blue Power air box Custom Tune ACE racing suspension 4.11 diff gears Hi-stall convertor Mickey Thomo street radials Both Chris and I keep telling him to lighten it and put racing wheels and tyres but he's happy to race it every second friday night in this trim. Sooner or later we will break him...LOL........ This car is a credit to it's owner as he keeps it spotless inside and out and underneath. I have worked on this car a lot and I never ever get dirty hands.... |

Well done Craig, Chris and GT.... Looks like the 12's are soon to go with this monster... Keep the pressure on with the weight issue man... 11's are real close. I might have to beef my baby a tad... LOL

My "spooler" is a 12.6 at half the cost...And I have no doubts that it could do an 11 with just valve springs and another tweak.

It is very satisfying getting 11's out of a NA Boss, infact the only internal mod i have in mine is oil pump gears. Costs lots more $$$ to get there compared to a 6T, but nothing sounds as tough as a NA Boss at 6500rpm +

Unfortunately we have a protagonist he keeps trying to high light, turbo V V8 cars..
Let’s keep this thread about the success of the 12.3 sec GT.
