Default Another quick 3 Valver
Last night at Calder one of our 3 Valver customers had some runs. Bobby ran a string of 13.1's and ended up running a best of 13.03 @ 105.00 MPH.

Full weight, towbar, spare wheel in boot, and my M/T street radials fitted.

The car is a XT Sedan, auto with high stall, 4.11 Diff, Blue Power Tune, ACE air induction kit, underdrives and a driver that weighs 110 KG.

Bobby rang me last night and this morning jumping out of his skin and now just wants to go quicker. A great result Bob i am extremely happy for ya. : : :

Cheers Craig :
