BLACK XR6-VCT · 07-13-2003, 23:03

It was a great day and thanks to all the organisers.

SVTANG your car sounds f#cking awesome!

Well I made 142.5 rwkws AUI VCT Manual
My brother in law made 129 rwkws AUII VCT Auto (His is stock).

Are these figures fairly right?
I have done air intake, K&N, and exhaust mods.

PS. My car is dual fuel, and on the second run I removed
the gas mixer from the intake pipe, and taped up the hole to
get better airflow to the throttle body. To my surprise I actually
lost power! I went from 142.5 to 138! The guy at the dyno was
confused, but said that to be fair to the test I should have reset
the computer first. Anyway interesting...

The XR6T with $1600 APS chip did 240rwkws (BFYB Champion)

I have run my XR8 at the Calder drags. Ran a 14.4 with too much wheelspin and only 1600 km on the clock. Might lower the tyre pressures a little next time and with more k's on the clock i'm confident of running a 14 flat.

I remember seeing your car there a few weeks ago with the Geelong XR Club. What mph were you running at the end of the strip?

bossxr8 · 07-14-2003, 03:37

99.4 mph. Oh so close to the ton.

The turbos made great power and are great cars but the ones pointed out were mostly manuals. I assume the one XR8 manual only had a few k's on the clock as it made the least power of them all. It would have been good to see what a few run in XR8 manuals made to give a more accurate comparison, although it was a well organised event and unfortunately I was only able to attend for a short period. Well done guys.

my pursuit managed 231.5 rwkw & it is an auto with 2350 km's on the clock, the other pursuit that ran was a manual from what i can remember & ran around 230.8 rwkw

Maybe the Tremecs being so big and heavy they soak up more power than say a T5.

Were the Pursuits the 250kW Strokers or the 290kW's?
