Great runs Jim .. why not fit a miss-fire device .. pop pop bang bang on the staring line building boost and because of a clutch switch flat shift down the track .. i fitted an armtech speedshift system worked f-in awesome :thumleft:

What has your car got done to it?

What boost is it running?

Nice vid

Regular bolt ons
Only other minor differences to usual is a fuel pressure reg, blitz ecu, ct26 hybrid (similar size to ct20b) and some water injection. 1.1-1.2bar

Have since done a 12.82@109mph with a slower 60ft time (ran a tad more boost 1.2-1.25bar).
Am sure the car is capable of the mid 12s now if I can repeat my launches shown in the vid above.

Of course not Jim .. nitrous fitted correctly and dyno tuned is fine for that special day at the drag strip O:)

But yeah fitted wrong it can end in spectacular tears #-o ](*,)

cheers, yeh got lucky, wasnt busy in the morning.

only thing holding me back now is a meaty clutch, maybe uprated cv joints and some chunkier tyres.
i was either bogging, or wheel hoping as you can see (or slipping! i didnt show those on the video). which all cost me time off the line.
my 1.8x's i just got lucky i think.

there is room for another 10th or 2, but ill leave that till next year more than likely, im in no rush now.

to be fair, i should probably not push my luck, ha.

Yeah not that i know much about drag racing , got all my knowledge from street outlaws (great show) .. but yeah better rear tyres = better launches .. once you get going you and the car seem very consistent .. have you thought about maybe getting 2 slicks for the rear for when your at the pod :-k


12.30s coming soon :wink: :mrgreen:


Ps. great effort for street tires mate :thumleft:
