we can never say never but it wont be mine, i think with diff changes and a manual ute like Rodderz with 105mph his ute could come close..
it will be hard, but if you put the effort in could be done.
takes cash and time help and a plan, so many poeple think ahh we go racing and pull a good time it dont work like that..we see it all the time poeple go to Calder to race and leave disappointed..they say my car could do this my car could do that but at the end of the day they didnt do anything..
preparation trying new things and a plan will take more time, than the time you spend driving on the track.
Rod and i put i plan in place last week thats why i didnt race last night, this was a full on tilt at a 12 and if we didnt get it last night we would have went home shattered.. there are so many little things you can do to help your ET..
Rod eats & breaths cars he is sourounded by them 6 days a week, i acctaully think it might be Mobil 1 oil in his vains...

congratulations rod and michael on your great times!!!
i am looking forward to seeing it run more 12 sec passes rod, especially at the ff/ls1 meet at heathcote.
michael, i wont be racing you in DYO again!!! lol, what a great time for your lil old 6cyl, you would give a few V8's a scare on the street..

cheers, phil.

Well done guys. Rod, what an awesome run! If the footy wasn't played on the friday night I would have gone for a look. Spewin now!

Hamo, is your car an LSD? If so have you changed the final drive ratio too? If you're running a 3.08 single spinner than I must say that time is truely amazing!

Bring on the FF/LS1 meet at Heathcote!

Hey Rod

A Normal blower should take no longer the 2 days for instal and tune, remember my build was a blank canvas in the engine bay, everything ripped out and remounted in different spots

Now if I hear talk of a turbo i WILL SIT ON YOU.....
