Posted 06/06/05 11:13 AM Share Posted 06/06/05 11:13 AM I think Spiro was using a YarraValley Auto Box. Probably best for Spiro himself to confirm this. It's going to need a special box to cope with his power.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiko will address that issue, plus other issues that he'll soon find with the power level he wants to run. I'm going through the same loop.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xrtwpn Guests Posted 06/06/05 11:41 AM Share Posted 06/06/05 11:41 AM If he wants to run 9's wouldnt he have dumped the factory gear box for something serious ?The factory box will only slow him down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should use a G-tech or something to practice first <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Spiko is a very experienced drag racer.When does a full pass it'll be such that he wants to shatter whatever the record is at that time, and he's setting the car up to do it.He is one very determined person, and I hope his patience is rewarded.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
