bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 4m 5d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 04/05/05 11:57 AM Share Posted 04/05/05 11:57 AM Guys,Spiro's car has been in development twice the time that mine has, and for his patience alone he deserves to be rewarded. A 9 should be enough!The other thing to remember is that he has a lot of experience at drag racing, and knows what he's doing, and has done the calculations.He has the backing of C&V, who are also very experienced at drag racing.As long as the box, drivetrain and motor hang together he should do it.Good luck.Brian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17396-project-xr6t-update/page/3/#findComment-249561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
