Guest Wingnut Guests Posted 21/01/08 10:09 AM Share Posted 21/01/08 10:09 AM (edited) if you get a 12 you should be happy. Most guys with around 300rwkw mark get very low 13s high 12s. You would need probably 400rwkw to get in there comfortably but it has been done with a little less.Muzza has aorund 360rwkw I think and he ran an 11.9...Do you use a T5 or T56?

Maybe 330rwkw or so (but then again one persons dyno reading 330rwkw might be 290 or 400 on another dyno!)To give it a decent crack you'd really wanna run race rubber, remove as much weight as u can (back seats, spare tyre, front seat, run on half tank etc), have well sorted suspension mods ( while the fords are a big luxo barge I think suspension and brakes seem to get overlooked far too much) and plenty of practise to get your launching and gear changing perfect!Maybe its better to set a MPH goal rather than times? I know mine will be 120mph once I get things sorted (2018 at this stage :() Edited 23/01/08 01:46 PM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over the moon when I ran my 13.1 and I have over 300rwkw. simply because I know I am pushing sh!t up hill when it comes to running a quick time at the strip.

MUZ580 Member 448 Member For: 18y 9m 24d Gender: Male Location: Manly - Sydney Posted 23/01/08 07:37 PM Share Posted 23/01/08 07:37 PM I've done about 25 passes now and with 330rwkw and a T5 I get mid 13's at about 109mph consistently. Gear changes and the launch is the tricky bit. If you can get off the line and do a 60ft under 2.2secs you should get a high 12. In a ute you might get better times because you can launch harder.
