yes your right ! need to put my race head on

yes I'm on the limiter more than I'd like working on changing that / bad habit from reving v 8 engines ( love the sound )

good effort al , nice time , you'll nail it next time . regards tony

thought I'd share the moment & excitmenttttt

13 psi was in the tyres , runing 17 lb boost , hope to go quicker next time that was my last run track closed 9.00 . average two per hour after 7 pm busy night a few oil downs .hoping for a low 12 .

finally made some time to go back to the track with new wheels & e/t street slick tyres 13 psi & install new tunes 301 rwkw's ( thanks simon / xtreme ) dump pipe & system working well now ( thanks shane ) best run 12.8 - 109 mph . description of run , yellow yellow dump clutch 4200 rpm green ligth go !!! got out the hole , great reaction time 60 ft 1.878 here we go 5000 rpm second bogged down a bit ( need to work on gear changes / next tune adjustments bring on power earlier ) 5200 rpm third same bogged down , four gear , 5500 over line , ok feeeels gggreat . what a rush , wind down windows , drive back line up again , looking for shortest queue ,room for improvement

Driving a Manual Linky You might have to look at the 11.8 thread for the MT techniques. Effectivly load it up to 4500rpm, step off the clutch. Change around 4800rpm, or juuust after at peak torque on your dyno graph. You have to pedal faster than Fred Flintstone in an oil bath!!! Hang on till the end, do it again.. good read will try that 4300 rpm change , at moment almost red line each change , have you tried second gear launch under revs . I warm tires with second gear launch . still only got 109 mph across line . looking for more . maybe get barney to pedal as well . ←

this thread moved , hard to find find now .who's idea to more

mate I think nostalgia drags are booked this weekend both days no test n tune

who was quicker fred or barney rubble

thanks tried to find one of your old posts re your techique & ideas can you remember what forumn & when , these f6 's are great cars

finally make some time to go back to the track with new wheels & e/t street slicks with 13 psi & installed new tunes 301 rwkw ( thanks simon ) best run tune 3 12.8 - 109 m/h . description of run yellow yellow 4200 rpm dump clutch green light go!!! got out of hole great reaction .468 - 60 ft 1.878 second bogged down a bit ( need too work on gear changes , next tune ajustment bring power on earlier ) third gear same , four gear same but o.k feeels ggreat . running over line . what a rush , wind down windows ... line up again , looking for shortest queue . best part is room for improvement

try amercian auto's web site m/t 275 x 40 . I brought some 4 weeks ago $298 each

hi big al hopeing to go out this wednesday night , I'll let you know , got my new tunes back ( thanks simon ) fitted new et streets to new rims also , should have 315 -320 rwkw . hopefully get some traction with all gear changes , havn't had a chance to enjoy since the drive day at w/bank . regards tony

nice ride . enjoy .

yes mate I had a similiar problem on a " brand new " tornado ,after doing vehicle inspection upon pick up with keys in hand & shaking salesman hand . noticed chain under ute for spare tyre hanging down ask about spare ( matching 18'' wheel ) they remove the spare wheel on the utes while in the yard . so can't be stolen . but forgot to refit . but then they could not find it at dealership . so got a 17'' steel wheel on loan , it took about 2 months to get another wheels .but it took a letter to ford customer to kick then into gear & give me the right wheel , so don't hold back , get onto customer service NOW all dealership answer to THEN . ALL IN ALL ENJOY THE RIDE . regards tony

Why do you say not good for the utes? taller diff ratio? I thought the utes (ba ) had the sade as the sedans? I have only used mine once, they dropped my 0 ft from 2.3 to 2.05 Stock auto and stall, pretty dull tune too, launched at 2250rpm. MT 275-45-17 ET radials at 20PSI ← 3.73, yes 6spd manual sedan gets the same but we have shorter gearing in the F6's compared to the T. ( remember the special 'close ratio' gearbox FPV rave about... ) Hence why I said 'our' utes I saw another post where he ran 13.6 at 113, so question answered.. ← Got some MT 275-40-17 et streets & rims will try them out , let you know , traction has been a problem mainly also because I got a lighter tray ( alloy on board ) not factory style side . hopefully get some good times down

big bubbles no troubles , hi shane your need for speed concerns me , hope all happens quick & you don't get any withdrawal synptons , regards tony

how did the ute go tony compared to the others? ← went well put it on tune 3 , first real chance to play with new power upgrade ,may have given a bit more pedal then needed in some events , slalom around the cones but had some , hopefully it was entertaining . heaps of fun , tray on back doesn,t feel brillant on cornering . but then maybe I should have brought a rapid coloured car they seem to go fassster & some 20 in wheels !!!!!!!!!! also did you get my last email re std gear . regards tony

very enjoyable day fun to be had , good company with a need for speed with a little spin on it , watch those cones $$$ hear' s some pics

nice effort shazza and that sunburn, ouch surely trent would of creamed you up by now?? ← I offered some ice but that was mainly for the crownies not the sunburn

is this what you use & are they m/t et street radial . I;ve priced some for $283
