Townsville Drags, i was not there, he rang me after,
i will tell you what i am sure of, and tell the rest when i get hold of him, get the slip, and details,

but i fitted a Ken Bell to it about a year or two ago, non intercooled
running 9psi,(water injection) motor is stock but with oil pump gears ,i know it still has my tune in it, but he has done some mods himself and since (i think a 30 shot of gas but not sure yet) and i think he would have had slicks on because when he was in Mackay that is what he had, and i don't beleive Townville would grip enough for a 1.57 60 on M/T's. the best i have done there is a 1.65 60ft and that was a race night so the track was good. will find out exactly what it was he had.

Blueboost (David) has shared his work (free) with any tuner who has asked for it, it was his work that has allowed us to hold the ZF on the line, autosoftware would be better but this has helped heaps.
My cars 60 foot went from 1.89 to 1.67 after having using his work within my tune.

is that the white gt? if so i raced that car, and it was impressive out of the hole.. it was on slicks if it was the white one, i did not see any other ba/bf's there racing on sat..

it was a race night but i'd hardly say the track was awesome though, i was having trouble getting mine to stick

Good stuff... I think we are very close to seeing some ZF tuning software or so the grapevine says... :hihi:
