Default Blue Power Ute 10.05 @ Calder

That's right

10.05

Very close to a 9. something but not to be we were actually pulling power out of it to get it to run without tyre spin.

All in all a pretty good night with some others running some PB's.

The car is as we ran it last time

Blue Power supercharger kit
Small shot of NOS

Chris can fill in the details later, i think the 60ft was 1.55 and the MPH was about 137.00

Anyway another BIG achievement from the Blue Power / Aussie Car Enhancements camp. Thanks to DABOSS and Theo and Elise for the help it's always appreciated.

Cheers Craig

Hi Melz,

I had a 55 Nos jet and a 34 fuel jet at the start, which @ 43psi rail pressure would make it around a 50 shot. I then went down 5 sizes on the nitrous and only 2 on the fuel, which by my reckoning would make it a 30-40 shot somewhere.

So how long before we see mini-tubs?

Cheers again for the loan of tyres, glad I was able to try them out before actually buying some because they proved too much tyre for my car.

10.05!!! Congrats lads. Speaking to Chris earlier in the week he was talking up the Friday night trip to Calder as something worth seeing. Obviously he didn't let anyone down.

Now send that footage up to me and I'll add to the Blue Power DVD.

If you run a 9 and they say you can't come back, can you say you'll run it without the NOS and then race again? Would be nice to see a 9 with no NOS.
