a big 14.8 :(

was hoping for a high 13, but I won't get that dump'n it off the line or taking off like a grandma for that matter!!

I need a tacho desperately

Not sorted yet!! vacum leak and running oh so rich!!!

What times should I expect knowing the following?

xr gt 1500Kg
351C stock bottom end
CompCams 270S grind - baby solid with 224 deg @ 0.50
2V closed chamber heads
750 vac on top of a stock iron intake!
3.7/8s in the arse.
14in 235 Kelly Chargers that spin more than my head when i'm off chops :)

brenx

hehehe. Traction is the key. What were your 60ft times? I've ran 2.0 and 2.1 60ft's on bald 215's. Are you running a minispool or LSD? As a single spinner won't help your 1/4 mile cause either.

[edit]a 13 something wouldn't be out of the question

2.6's one spinning and the other like a grandma..

detroit locker :)

XRFPV8

2.6 is very bad wheel spin, talking to some of the guys that have a good launch, they say you need to try and ride the clutch out of the hole. dont rev and dump..
practice will make it a lot better...good on you for haveing a crack....

A lot of quick passes tonight... huge turnout!

twin turbo V8 cortina - 8sec flat pass
and a torboed buzbox - 8.2sec pass

Brenden, I want your combo!

brenx

whoa 2.6! Loose the tyres. Get some softer ones. Not necessarily wide ones either. Wide doesn't mean traction. Just some nice grippy tyres will do it for you.

Practice will sort your launch as XRFPV8 said. No-ones perfect first time out. My 1st time out in 18mths and I shifted 1st to 3rd and only got 1 good pass in. lol

Get out there and go some more and you'll get a feel for it. Tacho will help and so would a dyno as the tuner can tell your where your optimum shift point is.

I plan to get back on the track shortly and try and run some lower times. I'm looking forward to it

Brenx,

I was just thinking about your combo, only lower the comp and install a pro-charger!!!

http://www.procharger.com

now where talk'n

seen one on ebay recently

brenx

I ain't got an extra $10,000-$15,000 to put one on and make it reliable. I've already priced it and thrown the thought out the window. A strokers cheaper and more suited to my budget.

A decent supercharged engine is nothing short of $25,000-$30,000. More if you want big power.
