I have Walbro in tank pump, dual 2.5" cat back X-Force, 100 cell cat, standard dump, flapper mod done, turbo smart 7 psi actuator. K & N filter with F6 snorkle, ebay intercooler with plazmaman stage 2 upgraded cooler pipework, valve springs done, Tuner will fit the 60lb injectors before the tune tomorrow. I am hoping for 300 rwkw.I like your taste mate As far as I can estimate you shouldn't have any trouble hitting 300rwkw with that setup, how much boost will you run? Are you going to post your results somewhere? Keen to see what you think after it's done. Edited 29/04/15 11:58 PM by IT15ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keen to see what you think after it's done.I pick it up after work this afternoon, not sure what boost the tuner will put in just told him to do what is safe. Will post results tomorrow. Of course it has started raining up here last night and continued all day with no end in sight, so I won't be able to give it a good workout for a little while.

Happy as larry with the numbers and the thing feels like a different animal driving but can't go past 1/4 throttle in the rain. But super stoked with the result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an airstrip/unprepared track so pretty low grip, I have run other cars here in the past. Has anyone ran their 6T at a similar style track or have an opinion on times to benchmark against? Will be a bit of fun, see how it compares to my old soarer from many years ago...7 Edited 14/05/15 05:26 AM by IT15ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the trip to Gunnedah and had a good clear day. We had a couple of minor tuning issues but it was a great chance to iron them out and practice launching the car. There isn't a heap of grip at the track but I managed to get my 60" down to run a couple of 1.9s. Still not perfect but a lot better than what I ran last outing in Sydney. There has been no change to the top end power since last time but some changes to the tune in midrange - road tuning only. Unfortunately my fastest runs were bad launches. The times I got a good 60" I had issues down the other end of the track. I ran a couple of 8.1sec 8ths rolling over the finish line at 120km/h, which I think if I stayed on it all the way would have run a 7, but anyway there's always next time. All in all a great day and good to get some more practice in. The highway was closed on the way home due to a crash, so we had to take a detour. What should have been around a 3.5 hour trip took us about 5 due to the extra traffic and distance. Crossing the great dividing range on dirt roads to get back home after racing just as quick as some cars which arrived at the track on a trailer was rewarding (I hate taking it on dirt - but had to happen and it's fine - precious...). Very happy with how the car went with it's current power, and being able to drive it back home and to work on Monday. Now I'm sure there's a 7 sec 8th mile in it if I just drive it right.....Have a few pics but looks like I may have reached my quota for file size?! help?

You also don't have to limit the size of your pictures as they are not "hosted" on the forum, so your "data limit" is ignored as it just "links" to wherever the image is hosted (in this case, imgur.com ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
