9.0 rule been around since forever, it's very dangerous to run any quicker even 9.0 is scary, Joe was all over the place a couple runs, on a good prepped track it runs straight as. got a little scared cos first pass it ran a 8.98 ![]() ![]() had a couple mates there, the XB was only running 5psi, had a boost controller stuff up. and another mate in his VZ SS twin turbo V8 (full weight 1900+kg) ran an 11.8@129mph on street tyres not radials proper street tyres. the ANDRA official asked how can u run 130mph on street tyres, he just shrugged ![]() ![]() Last edited by prasac; 01-09-2011 at 01:36 AM. |

the XB on 10psi i worked out should just get into the 10's @ 125mph. a 20psi tune will be coming soon. were trying to talk him into maybe doing an E85 tune also but he doesn't want to, he doesn't like the fuel ![]() i think Pete's going out again in the XB next week, we will take the Capri out again the following week. come over and say g'day. Joe in the blown syline gets a lane for himself, so we just jump in with him. it's good for the crowd they get to see 2 low 9-sec cars racing each other. i thought i was on Jersey Shore with all the fist-pumping going on when those 2 race ![]() |

Would like to see something like that too.
My closest run was a 1 second win in my favour. Worst was over 4 seconds.

My brother got my final run on video, only a mobile phone vid though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMJnV...&feature=share
Ive got a habit of doing rubbish runs all night then getting something somewhat decent for my final run. A few weeks ago i was running 15.1-15.2s all night then pulled out a 14.6 at the end. This week i was doing 15.2-15.4s before i hit a 14.7s. I think its just with how i might be stalling it up, it seems its pointless trying to hold more than about 1800rpm with the stock converter. |
