![]() how did u end up going in S/F? which car was yours? the sorta lime/green Falcon? i saw it drive past a few times always caught my eye. clarkey117 it's getting better, alot of issues which clouded what should have been a great weekend. Joe said he would be happy with a 8.20 and he got it. i was very happy because it took me only 1 wheelstand to work out how much boost to leave with ![]() ![]() gregAust thanks mate. |

thanks Corzza
popped down to vince's last night. unfortunately over the weekend i couldnt check the logging, there was an issue between the logger and my laptop (windows incompatibility?) there was some serious revving issues happening. u can sorta hear it in the video of the 8.20 run just before it chages into 2nd. revs plateau and drop, then pick up again. we think its the gearbox or possibly converter. those are the only 2 things that have changed since, last meet out. |
