Torquen Ginja Ninja Member 297 Member For: 16y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 29/04/09 03:21 PM Share Posted 29/04/09 03:21 PM Ran a 12.851 @ 113MPH, 60' footer 2.046. My previous best was 12.971 @ 114MPH so there is definately an improvment. There was also major traction issues, haha. I still can't get this manual launching perfect quite yet. I think with my everyday tyres (not the best tyres by any means) I should be able to get a 12.6 with more practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I just couldnt quite stick a good one last night, either bogged it or slipped it way to fast and ended up in wheelspin.Yeh I noticed the MPH was lower to? most runs where about 1-2mph lower (could be due to when im changing gears, I really need to study the dyno chart and find the optimum point). 60' for my 12.9 run with the BPT tune was 2.281, but that was the main problem with that tune, torque and power came on so late you couldnt get a decent 60'. When in was running the bpt tune I was geating way better launches than last night and still couldnt crack a better 60' than 2.2. The run I did of 12.8 last night I stuffed my 1st to 2nd change, didnt depress the clutch all the way and it took a little force to get it into 2nd.

Alvaro351 Member 30 Member For: 20y 1m 27d Location: Rockingham Posted 05/05/09 04:47 AM Share Posted 05/05/09 04:47 AM Is anyone going to WAW tomorrow night? It looks like conditions will be ideal....Also, do any of the regulars know if you are allowed to run with your tail gate down? And if now, will any of the officials be concerned if you remove the tailgate altogether?I'm hoping to take my manual BF ute for a spin and a bit of fun.
