Marc17 Member 282 Member For: 16y 2m 28d Gender: Male Posted 28/10/09 11:27 AM Share Posted 28/10/09 11:27 AM im running roughly the same power at 13.5psi (perhaps my dyno was a bit happy?)...but having issues launching with this new set up (being able to stall it up now while the brake is on). best 60ft I got was 1.977...am I being too much of a "nancy" with this new set up? what 60ft would this setup enable me to achieve in the 60ft department roughly? also would u guys recommend lowering the mt's from 14psi to 12ish? any info would b much appreciated. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a fair few in the 1.6 to 1.8 range. What gearbox do you have?As for the same power on less boost your mods probably flow better. Mine has been slowly buit up over a couple years mainly with 2nd hand parts.Monza copy IntercoolerHurricane 4" 200cpsi cat in the stock exhaust, front muffler swapped for hotdogsflapper mod and 12psi actuator60lb injectorsf6 lower snorkel and k&n filterherrod intank pumpthink that is it, it's being held back by a few thing at the moment but apprentice wages will do that to ya.

You really need to get some heat into the mt's to get them to work how they should. Townsville is not the best track for traction at the best of times so your doin ok. the trick is a quick & fast burnout. Get it up to 200 as quick as you can, the higher the wheel speed the more friction & then the more heat created with hopefully not too much heat soak. You'll have to toy with the revs abit til you get it right but I find about 4 - 5 psi is the max I can load it up to in tville otherwise it just wheelspins on the line & then ya stuffed. A low 1.7 on any track is very respectable so that should be the aim but any 1.8 in tville is nothing to be sneezed at a street meet. Dont be shy to use the handbrake but there is consequences if ya get too carried away. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit hard to practice when my street tyre pressure is 40psi and my handbrake is non existant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to get it right is get a couple of trips in a row together rather than 6mths apart like whats happened this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to go for a blast up the coast road & then around the hills. As soon as I get mine back im goin straight up that way to run everything in. cant wait to get back up that way.
