SpoolMan · 15-04-2005, 10:54 PM

Left early with XA Coupe so friggin cold, Brendan Mock ran 13.50 in his i6, plenty of time left for improvement...
there was green XY GT running 10.7 to 10.8 all night, looks street able with I quieter exhaust, we need to recruit this guy for the next AFF meet.

I think I've reached the end of the Toyo's hookup, I can rarely cut anything better than 1.81 60 footer with the 3.91's installed. Although I did run a 12.13PB last night, with my injectors running at 95% duty cycle!!!. Looks like I need injectors(36lb/h or 42lb/h) and tyres(M/T Drag Radials) before the next time out. There goes another $1000 or so $'s.

I know how you feel Kev, the word starts with F not G though. Do you have a standard clutch in your car?, if so how is it holding up? Keep up the great work Kev!

That is a awesome time for a Clubsport.What time are u getting at the 660 foot mark.I assume if u do crack the 7 sec mark u should be in the 11's.

Hi Alex,
My Timeslip read like this:
R/T .895
60' 1.813
660' 7.781
mph 89.65
ET 12.131
MPH 112.81.

Although through some miracle last week I was running 115+ mph, but my 660' wer'nt as good and only managed 12.26's with that MPH, so guess ET is king. I think with new(bigger) injectors(maybe a fuel pump) with some M/T's that should see 1.7or better 60' i may have a chance at chasing that elusive 11.

rodderz · 16-04-2005, 12:46 PM

Well done guys, not bad times

Kev...it's weird how i do better at calder yet Heathcote fall in a heap, yet you're the opposite. I find the atmosphere and close proximity of everything better ast heathcote, but for track quality and prep I have always found calder to be better. What was your mph on the 13.51?

Looks like u are running out of fuel up top too.Your 1/8 mile time is bloody good but it does tend to drop off up top.

awesome times there mate, love the 60 to..... 11's just around the corner.

Eddy Tassone ran his gen III ute a couple o f weeks ago, cam and springs other wise stock engine, 12.00 flat @ 115 and then he did a pass with a sqeeze of gas and it went 11's @ 119 mph, cant remember exactly what it did but.. I know without gas it makes 413 rwhp and with gas 530 rwhp and like isaid apart from cam and springs the engine is stock. He has gears ect and was usuing M/T , Stock injectors ect

Thanks Guys. :sm_headba GTP-330 utes are the lightest cars in the range, so tend to be a little easier too run numbers with. Also I run my car in basically street trim, full exhaust, cats,etc. Premium brakes, 18" wheels front and back, and stock suspension, in this trim with about 20 litres of fuel, it weighs about 1750kgs with me in it. And some cars are stunners and others just ain't, I think my car falls somewhere in between.

i recon yours sound exceptional to run those times indeed

EASPRINT · 16-04-2005, 06:00 PM

I was running useless 60ft times all night....all my 60ft's were 2seconds plus!. But saying that, I still managed a PB of 12.33 @ 117.1mph.
