MJS Member 27 Member For: 11y 11m 6d Gender: Male Location: GYMEA Posted 22/06/13 12:00 PM Share Posted 22/06/13 12:00 PM I have 454.2awkw and am finding it hard to get that torque to the ground. What tyres MT, nitto, BF etc and set up do I need to turn all that time and coin into a decent E/T?? P.s No torque convertors but would talk diff ratios, considering FG 08 with ZF Trans and I believe 2.73 final drive....

My second run 1/3 track the boost kicks in and im all over the shop at about 100kph, not something I want to experience again. Third and last run 12.62@118.23mph with slow start and traction ON slipping most the way. 454.2awkw should put down lest an 11, I need advice on a good drag tyre!
