I just wanted to throw my two bobs in here and hopefully get a response.

08 FG T.. Running completely stock with nearly 100k on the clock (not even intake or filter upgraded yet)..

Best 1/4 was 13.87s @ 102.8mph.

Also worth noting that I'd had the car for 3 days when I made my first track trip in it just to benchmark it.

I'm curious as to how you are running these times.. Obviously the rubber has something to do with it (Dunlop Tires).. But I really suffered with wheelspin on the 1st to 2nd change and 2nd to 3rd change.

I also don't like the feel of the 1st to 2nd shift.. Same problem as mentioned TYS84 it doesn't feel like the clutch is engaging enough and it grabs the gear a bit during the shift.. (Not the hair raising feeling you get out your arm when you actually grind a gear but a much milder version). But this only happens 1st to 2nd? Reckon it's a synchro or something? Or the clutch itself?

Another random question but does track surfacing vary that much? One of my mates running a BF XR6T (only minor mods) reckons he runs at least a second quicker at Mackay compared to Benaraby (Where I timed).

I know the car's got a bucket load more potential then I was getting out of it and I'm sure a few more visits to the track will help and possibly some better breathing gear (Do many people actually remove their filters for drags?)

Cheers,

-B

Leave your filter on!

Beneraby is a shocking track, traction is non existent at most meets. Stock tires are fine,'just try dropping the pressures to about 30psi. I wouldn't go any lower since it's up a dirt road.

I ran my ute at benaraby last year. Low 14s at 120 mph. Using old maxis tires (cheapest I could get) led ft ran 10.5 last weekend with less power than me on et streets. Cars were dynoed same day same dyno a few months ago and mine showed another 50rwhp. His was thru a glide mine manual. When I did run last year had a lot of trouble with traction. Pretty keen to slap some stickier tyres on and have another go sometime soon.
