Guest Guests Posted 29/01/08 03:16 PM Share Posted 29/01/08 03:16 PM Those times are since I had the T56 put in and the best to date is 12.6x. I wish I had a ute or a spare $2.5k for stronger CV's so I could get it off the line quicker though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A car doing 108mph will have around 250rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert though and have only watched XR6T's run at motorplex. Flat shifting is a necessity and a driveline that can take the punishment. Roughly every tenth at the 60ft will yield double that at the end.As an example of difficulty in running an 11, youngy's first attempt was a 12.2 and it took some time practicing and trying different tune variations to put down an 11.70. F6 UTE was the same and worked his balls off practicing and changing tunes to run 11.80But hey don't let the difficulty stop you, get out there, start practicing and learn from the other guys also out there having fun :-) Persistence pays off!So wat could a 4spd Auto T ute with 300rwkw do on the strip? Besides nuking the trans all over the track.....With MT's 11's lol...no $hit!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
