Is that the Boss 260 or 290?


I could be off track here, but I would have thought 290kw at the engine should show 220-230 at the rears, any one want to share there stock results

Wade Rocks has a Boss 260....

My stock figure for the Boss 260 was 198.5rwkw, now is 233.5

Cheers

Thanks for clearing that up, what have you done to yours to get an extra 35 rwkw?

Hi Brad, shit you really got your car off the line :driver: (1.9 6oft). 13.42 is a fantastic result for a 26o esp with only basic mods. What size Nitto's you running, they the 555R's or the RZ series. As soon as im up for new rubber im getting some Nitto's for the back of mine, just got to figure out how to squeeze 285's onto the standard rims.

Leigh that time was done on the 555R's 245x45x17....Mate good luck on finding some Nittos....be easier to find Osama Bin Laden.....especially here in the City of Churches...any places in Sydney that you know of?

Jeez high 12's, you running the standard tyre's or running with slicks. Either way good luck.

There's a bloke running around with 26orwkw in a BA ute and his best is 13.2 with a 1.8 6oft.

Like I said bozo, LOOKING for high 12s & yes I will be using both street tyres & slicks. Its all about the launch & making the best use of available power hence the final drive ratio change & half a dozen other factors not least of which is driver experience.

 

[BA330ci]

That would be with a drag radial not factory fitted tyre big difference.My mates BA GT ran a 13.4 @110 on factory fitted tyres big difference.Just goes to show how tyres pay the biggest role in 1/4 mile times.

13.5 was done on Dunlop 9000s at around 50% wear with 25psi & ambient temp of 27Deg.

My uncle is the largest private tyre importer in the country. Shouldn't be to much trouble to source a set. I think my biggest problem will be with running the 18's, the smallest i know of is 285's in 18". I want to run them as my normal rear tyre's and run the Sp9ooo's as the fronts, no problems with them yet.

Would be fantasitic if i could find a way to hide 315's under the back, should get a decent 6oft then. Btw way what did you pay for your's. Pm If you wnat.

The Nittos were on loan for the night.....now looking at some Mickey Thomsons or some BFG's for track use only.

About to change the whole Cold Air set up...will post some pics next week when complete....hopefully taking the car to the drags again on 5/3/05..

Hello well my BA xr8 is only putting out 215kw/rw's. mods: cold air intake, exhast twin 2in into 3 1/2in, k&n filter want more mods was looking at unchip heared to much bad news so wondering what is the edit all about i keep seeing on this site? from tassie so dont hear or see much

 

[FORDV8]

I thought that 285's have a chance of fouling on the suspension? And that 295's is where it fouls 100%.

This would explain why many BA XR owners run 275's.

I'm sure if you flared the guards, strengthed some components and stuck some 2.5cm (huge) spacers and longer wheel studs you could probably squeeze some 315's under the back end without a chance of fouling, 325's would probably be ok as long as you don't power around a corner, as then you are guaranteed to rub..... But i would think the cost of strengthening the back end to cope with the extra forces applied by running spacers wouldn't be worth it, if you are working to a budget.
Bigger cams and an edit would probably be cheaper.......
But I could be wrong, as its all second hand information.
