Great work Dude. Awesome 60 too. Must have nearly felt like you were in your old falcon.

Nice and relaxed with an ice cold VB next to the keyboard...
![]() What a great night Friday night, I had a mission, and wanted to take out the NA and Forced records out, one after the other, and after having ripped out the 11.6 @ a monster 120mph I knew the track was "on" (the 1.7 was my fault - it should go mid 1.6 but i wont complain) The NOS was a major wakeup call. I had a lowly 100shot in which is my baseline, and it shows a tough 400rwkw plus on the pump, with about 350 of those at 3500rpm........ having 350rwkw on launch is nice - i put all the trim back into the car bar a few small items, car weight back up to 1700kg for the meeting, and whoa! Hit me like a tonne of bricks! First pass was a 10.70 off the trailer with spanking new tyres, and the car never bettered that pass, however managed 2 more 10.7's, 2 10.8's, a 10.90 and a sideways 11.0. best "all round" pass was an 10.76@129mph. all the 60's were 1.5's. I raced more twin turbo's than i could care to remember, but was never beaten by any of them. Funny how much you learn in such a short period, but i already have a list of things i know i can improve on. Special thanks to Craig, as usual my man on the spot with the tyre guage/Nos bottle/bag donuts, and AGRO, who provided much in the way of entertainment and drank lots of beer. Daniel (AU2PWR) and whoosha, Cams290 came over - 3 great guys, was good to shake their hands, just a pity i didn't get to share a bourbon bottle with Cam again - but Cam if your reading this, after I ran the 10.70, the Holden boys seemed to calm down a little. Next year, they wont have much to brag about, i'll make sure of that lol One thing i did learn on the weekend, is that LS1 turbo's bleed. And if it bleeds, we can kill it. Thanks for all the kind words. Im going back into hiding Chris ![]()

Hi Con, Hows things?
I am not very experienced with Nitrous, so i was curious on the fuel and to whether or not it would benefit me. On the Friday night i ran the 10.70 and NA 11.6 with pump fuel. On the Saturday, I tried the race fuel, best I got was a 10.76 but picked up 2 mph. I also noticed the 60 was the same. The motor is a stock 290 and has been opened to fit oil pump gears. I have also tried several different sets of camshafts in this engine, without seeing any real benefit. Like i said, a newbie to Nos here so im not too sure how aggressive to go - i am concerned about many things regarding the Boss engine and a wet shot, maybe we could chat sometime about it, i have heaps to learn. The NOS is only a stop-gap thing until my blower kits are ready, maybe i should go further but im not sure how much the stock pistons and rods will handle. I did see a white CV performance commodore up there, i would have loved to have seen the HYPA deal in the flesh. How did you guys go? were you there? i would have said Hi if i had of known...

There was a CV Perf white Commodore sedan there Chris, remember when i disappeared on friday night with the tow rope, went down to the bottom of the track to give the guy a tow back to the pits, it spat a belt off from memory.
I am sure there will be a bottle of Jim Beam coming my way.... |
