Default Bluepower Ute runs 10.7 @ LS1 Nats
Well done to Chris the Bluepower Ute is running at the LS1 Nationals this weekend, went 10.7 Friday night using NOS and backed it up today with a 10.8.
This ute now retains its number 1 spot as the quickest Boss over 400 meters.
Mph 129 and 60 foot was amazing at 1.53.

Yep a big weekend racing with the LS1 boys (geez they put on a show) well done Chris on some great driving as the quicker you go the more you need to be on your game and that we were.

Somehow we will post up some video from inside and out of the car. The inside shot is killer...

These 6's have ben unreal - i remember my dad in his HR used to crack flexplates a lot, balancer bolts and flexplate bolts would come loose.

The bathurst XU1 boys had a simillar issue - a couple of years ago now we built a 7M-GTE for an Autosalon car, it went 680rwkw and kept loosening balancer bolts and flexplate bolts - we just had to keep it in mind and stay on top of it.

I wonder if the XR6T suffers the same?

The wheelstand? not sure, but it will soon :evil3:

i think it had a bit to do with me stretching my 2400rpm stall to 5000 rpm,
i don't think it liked it much.

make sure you get the video of the start
