F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 20y 1m 13d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 08/05/06 01:09 AM Share Posted 08/05/06 01:09 AM what's your best time as it stands??most popular is the 17", but in our utes, not good for drags.16" 255/50/16. $300 each and will help gearing out for drags. Look out for the clutch.←is this what you use & are they m/t et street radial . I;ve priced some for $283←They are M/T's and ideally they are what I would run..If I can go down next week and grab 12.50-12.80 on my everyday road tyres, I might consider doing something about some 16's but in all reality, our track closes for winter soon and the strain it will put on the driveline, ie clutch might be a backward step..

Look out for the clutch.←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 Edited 23/05/06 02:25 PM by fordperformer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
