Project SSV Ute T-800

[boyley]

Ordered a SSV Ute manual on the 16th June and it shall be here this week all going well.

Wanting to up the horsepower from the cam only Calais I came up with the figure 400rwkw in my head.

To achieve this and keep the costs reasonable I have chosen FI. Single Turbo......and so begins Stage 1 of the project

Stage 1 350rwkw

Dont have the ute yet but have commenced ordering the following items

>09 SSV Phantom Ute Manual
>ASE T-800 Turbo Kit
>2 Bar MAP Sensor
>Custom Plates
>Twin 3" Xforce Cat Back
>Ballistic Racing Cats
>Custom dump to cat system
>Techedge Wideband/Sensor/Gauge
>Custom made Oil Catch Can
>Custom Mafless Tune by Oztrack
>Tint

Heaps of pics to follow, will take a while as I am only home 1 week out of 3.

Nice work Rob!

[Curtis-R]

Look forward to the build Boyley! You will have no probs making that stage 1 power with what you have listed.. What about clutch and RIP?

Cheers

Clutch and RIP will go in Stage 2 install, stage 1 budget blowing out very quickly:bawl:

[iloveholden]

aww yeah! Nice future build mate...just keep us updated with info and pics to keep us happy :)

[BlownLS7]

Thanks Paul, my goal is a 10.# but I am not sure it will do it in Stage 1 format. Eventually the Calais will relinquish all her goodies across to the Ute, Coilovers, Wheels and brakes. Its a matter of finding the time and buttering up Takeitez :wave: for the task:)

farken sweet Rob! :goodjob:
should be a great build :bow:

[S2VYSS]

Sounds like a great project mate and wait to watch the stages unfold and the numbers fall

[TIR33D]

Damn the limo driver gonna become a race driver, now you shall know the pain of trying to launch and get every change right. Will be interesting to see. Shame you didn't cam this one first to see how good a driver you are.

Its funny how you (with your ute), Steve (VX I think), Will (440 torana) and myself ( umm believe it or not a 280zx) have all decided to head down a dedicated car track rather than further enhancing/destroying our nice rides.

It was at Wakefield a week and a half ago when it sunk in for me, saw a car on its roof, no cage and one lucky bloke. Made me realise that we all have been lucky. For me a cage is gonna be pretty quick with a decent seat and harness.

Good luck Boyley, learn how to drive that thing and if your good enough maybe you can get that 11 sec pass in my ute next Nationals (if there is one).

[Wonky]

:kneel: Awesome Rob!

[boyley]

How come you are going the 800 instead of the 1000?

Should be a really nice ride once you have finished what you have planed so far. Good luck with it and hurry up with the pics.

I have no intention of going increasing the capacity of the engine and the T-800 looks like it suits the L98 nicely.

[SSV8TE]

Hey Rob,
I reckon you should do the clutch and rip in your first stage. You will fry the stock clutch and the rip is an awsome piece of stick once you get used to it.
Best of luck matey and im following your epic here for sure:goodjob:

Cheers,
Andy.

The quality of the ASE gear is second to none.

[boyley]

Had the baseline dyno done today, its not about figures here its about measuring the gains. Normally I would do this at the track but not open unfortunately, so here it is anyhow......252rwkw uncorrected

Hey fella, yeah Andy is genuine mate sure is:goodjob: as you said very interested in what you're doing:)

I am happy with the figures says there's a 10% loss through the drivetrain which is probaly correct on a brand new tight package. It was 104kpa on the baro too and air was cold as:)

[vuss383]

Rob , Nice looking ute .I will be following the progress of your build . Honistly I think it screams T-1000 over the T-800 .
You have a reply to your PM .

Troy

[CRAIG LS2 GD]

Yer i can imagine how cold the shed would of been with the breeze blowing straight in off the water, good for figures though. Some awesome roads on the way down there, nice smooth sweepers, (bloody speed limits)!!

Troy Stage 2 will be hunting 400+kw's will be good to see if this turbo has 700hp as spec'd. I only need 75% of that.

[boyley]

Should see first fire around Monday 31st all going well, then have to get it settled with a lot of light throttle application until we get the tune normallised then it's of to the dyno for some big power runs:)

Mate I will be home for good as of this weekend so will be paying attention to this from then on...probably two more weeks I reckon

The kit is from ASE retails for $7400 from memory

I have a mate whos fitting it so am getting a nice deal but theres some serious hours involved so if I was you I'd get and supply and fit quote from your local supplier. You'll also need 2 bar map sensor and some decent injectors. A fuel system would be advisable also if your going over 6PSI.

I'm sure you could get out of it for $10K done properly, bu then theres the clutch kit which is $1500-2000 as the stock clutch wont handle it.

Drop in and see Dale at CHE or Sonny at Marranos theyll tell you whats required. You need to understand that horsepower aint cheap :(

[UTESRULE]

do u reckon turboing a car is better than a sc i no everyones mind will differ but they cost the same almost

[boyley]

do u reckon turboing a car is better than a sc i no everyones mind will differ but they cost the same almost

I cant comment on either mate this is my ofrst foray into FI. After consulting with people that owned bith types I went turbo for its stealthness.

[UTESRULE]

do u have to get the car engineered

[boyley]

do u have to get the car engineered

You are best taking that up with the supplier and local authority mate before proceeding.:)

Looking good. You will love the throttle response of this kit. :)

I may have missed it but are you using any boost control thingy?

Mate I am not doing boost control initially as I need to get the fuel system sorted properly. I have a plan for fuel but it will be revelaed in Stage 2 of the Project.

Eventually I will add a 2 stage controller as I dont want the temptation of cranking the boost in the wrong conditions.

what a great build mate, credit to the 2 guys doing it, (of course as well as your guidance ,without you they would not have a clue)
that welding just looks first class, should be great when done, shame you have to go to heathcote to have a drag mate.

looking forward to your results

looking good there roberta!!

Gloze what a job on the pipes, really tidy welding. You better be allowing for a screamer pipe, cmon rob dont be soft :lol:

[sld86]

I had a screamer pipe on for about a week, sounded like a massey ferguson tractor running out of fuel. They will attract the wrong kind of attention very quickly

I'm with slutbag on this one Robbo, I wanna see a flame shooting screamer pipe! Thats one way to scare ricers and taxi drivers

[sld86]

lol they are actually really good for sticking it to the ricers. at the drag strip of coarse

[TAKEITEZ]

at this stage the screamer pipe is left just as that, a screamer...
but i reckon rob will need to join it in down the track... depends what he thinks of it :)...
i'd keep it, but i'm a bit of a bogan like that... it'll be interesting to see just how it sounds!

still a way to go yet but all is going well....



as for the sump... i could have done the oil return with it in the car, but i didn't want any shavings or swarf getting into the sump... even with an oil drain and change you wouldn't catch it all.

it only took a couple of hours to get the sump off the ute and it's worth it to save blocking the pick up with alloy shavings and seizing the thing solid!!! that'd suck big time..

[BlownLS7]

rob did you ever look at the TEX EXO before you bought the Malwood clutch?

No Paul I didnt look at anything other than what I was recommended. I sure no matter what you choose as long as its installed correctly you wint have an troubles. Make sure you get a slave cylinder form a VZ/Y installed. Call Mal Wood and speak to him he's very knowledgeable

Good idea, i got a bit mixed up in what turbo kit he was running. I think with the low mount kits the scavenge pump pumps the oil to the rocker cover, which is why i was wondering about the sump removal. Then the brain started working again and i remembered the oil drains back to the sump with this kit. :)

4 pages so far, this thing finished yet?

The amount of time Dwayne has spent on this should ensure we have very few issues after it's installed. Heat reduction being our number one aim

i need to rest some time...

no, seriously... it's already swallowed up 50-60 hours of my after work time in the last month to get this far, so that's hard to squeeze in... there's still a fair way to go till it's all done... but we're plugging away at it a night at a time...

i can see the light at the end of the tunnel now though... and it's not a train... so that's a good thing :)

Really? It picks up the drivers side rocker cover then runs down to the back of the throttle body where theres a hose tail. I'm only running 6-7lb boost so hopefully it copes.

Is there a valve of some sort? otherwise you will have boost going straight from the throttle body into your rocker cover..

[stevensd77]

Hi great job so far, are you keeping with std brakes or is there a upgrade in mind.

[boyley]

Is there a valve of some sort? otherwise you will have boost going straight from the throttle body into your rocker cover..

Good question mate will make some enquiries bout this, i have seen some applications where the have the catch can and the oil cap vented?


Hi great job so far, are you keeping with std brakes or is there a upgrade in mind.

Brakes will remain standard, I will throw a decent set of pads on though. The main reason for this is for ease of slipping some 17" drag tyres on the back when we go drag racing:)

[BlueSS]

Good question mate will make some enquiries bout this, i have seen some applications where the have the catch can and the oil cap vented?


That would be easy enough to do.. I just went straight for a vented can/system as everything I could find (information wise) had that setup for FI. Be interested to know if you find an answer on it..

[UTESRULE]

awesome build guys cant wait till fully complete looks amazing with the t800 kit what are ppls thoughts on them still tossing up between the 800 and 1000 kit so the end of this build ill be hanging on to all feedback :goodjob:

Ok mate we've sorted this out now.

The right rocker cover vent and the valley cover vent will be teed together and routed to the catch can. Then we'll route the outlet of the catchcan to the intake pipe of the turbo.

Closed system no worries:goodjob:

The tuning is progressing well and we should have her on the dyno next weekend for some WOT stuff, I will get some videos of that.

It sounds awsome mate, really beaty down low, screams its head off up high and hissing a fair bit too, but I am going to plumb the screamer to the exhaust and the blow off to the intake to make it a little less obnoxious.

I highly recommend getting a turbo :goodjob:

[UTESRULE]

thanks for the update i really want one but abit sketchy on getting defected cause u cant get a single turbo engineered in nsw

after hearing ur comments on it so far its very tempting

cheers

[MrT]

I hate reading stuff like this... I promised myself I wouldnt go stupid on my car, not again as I sold the last one once it became a bit too wild..

But im sick and ****in tired of these fords boys in their clapped out 6s thinkin they have tough turbo cars...

**** IT!! Cancelling my booking with Chev for Monday... Going all out.. Big turbo, stock motor all business.

Good stuff mate

[Delft Maloo]

Well done rob:goodjob:, i agree with the screamer pipes being obnoxious,. I had to install another wastegate befor i went to the the wsid private day a few weeks ago and we didnt have time to plumb it back in with the other wastegate which of couse still hasnt been finished:rofl:, once the gate opens its just a stupidly loud sound which is quite weird in my setup with it dumping 4cyl's in the screamer and 4cyl's in the exhaust.
Be sure to check in when you hit the dyno and drag strip again:goodjob:.

[UTESRULE]

Same issue as mine rob, iv added my other wastegate but im yet to change over the original aswell.
Im having drama's with my eboost atm, no matter what i cant seem to up the boost.
It'll get there eventually rob and you'll be over the moon when its done.

Yeah it's something I'm only learning now mate but with a 6.0L engine trying to run on low boost theres a lot of excess exhaust to discard, hence why a larger wastgate is required or install two, one off the manifold and one over near the other manifold on the Xover pipe.

What size gates you running Tim?

[EXCESSV]

less talking more working....get this sucker finished as it needs to hold my cartons of beer in the back and a small esky at the front so i can :beer: while u chauffer me during this tassie tour :D :lol: :jester:

What size gates you running Tim?

2 x 38mm with 6psi springs, one off each bank. It was this or 1 60mm and i thought the 2 smaller gates would give more airflow thus better control with as close to equal pressure bettween banks.

Yeah same as mine off a 7lb spring hoping to keep boost no higher than 8-9PSI. One day when I get courageous I may whack 5lb springs in and get a boost controller and a decent fuel system but for now its cost me too much.:)

[boyley]

I thought I'd try on one of the 17X9.5 ZR1 Replicas today to make sure they fit nice laced with MT 17" Street radials, wuite happy clears the brakes nice:)

sweet ute mate

[mattsetsfire]

So whats the latest Rob aside from the new shoes? I'm back in the real world now.

[boyley]

Tomorrow I'm having the dump to catback redone because the second wastgate has caused some issues with the peice Gloze made.. So unfortunately his work of art will be decommissioned. I am going with a single pipe from the dump pipe to the catback where it has the kiss-pipe. So it will be single cat with both the screamers plumbed in before it, if that makes sense. I'll whack some shots up tomorrow.

Then later this week if all goes to plan off to the dyno for some serios WOT tuning just in time for the Tassie cruise and then the private drag day on the 1st Nov:)

Been a long time in the making but all worth it:)

[sixlta]

top ute mate, rims will look tops,

[TimmyG]

Looking good i bet she goes lol.

[mattsetsfire]

Sounds like you've got plenty to keep you busy. Sad about gloze's piece of art, straight to the pool room perhaps?

[boyley]

Ok lads n ladies tomorrow is dyno day but today I fitted a Dualstage Boost Controller. After fitting the second wastegate the boost dropped off to 5-5.5 PSI so theorising we can get 8.7PSI from the stock fuel system we will have two setting 6 and 8.7PSI but the dyno will be the place for this. So heres some final engine bay pics and my stealth location for the boost switch

good work mate chance of u filming the dyno run and a bit of a drive incar

cheers and:goodjob:

[boyley]

Well after a lot of fluffing about trying to get the Dual Stage COntroller to work it has been discarded for now.

The car made 305kW on 5PSI so we then installed a Boost Tee and squeezed 332kW on 8PSI. Its not as high as I expected but it made what it made and the blacktop shall be the true dyno :)

It was a nice safe environment to do the final tuning and Steve Oztrack spent 4 hrs on it today getting it just right.

Sorry Utesrule I plum forgot my camera mate so no pics or vids.

So it gained 105hp against the original run.

[TAKEITEZ]

hahaha.......... craig you're a funny man :)

thanks for the quick ride today rob... it's a completely different car to when we finished it... much easier to drive, quieter and a whole lot quicker!!

the tune has come along nicely that's for sure!!!

[boyley]

Heres some pics of the car in action on the Tassie Cruise.

Looks absolutely awesome mate!

[Rub]

:kneel:
tough as!

[SenatorMike]

Looks very Sinister & Menacing now Rob:goodjob: Sorry i didnt get around to getting those pink walls you wanted done before the rims went to Tassie:lmao:

[Nidz]

Wheels look nice. I saw em at Mikes place before Andy picked them up.. Good stuff..

[boyley]

Cheers guys I am absolutely stoked with the ASE Turbo kit and the performance, it performed very well around on the cruise in all conditions. I noticed the oil temp got up to 121 deg C when the car was driven hard so I may need to upgrade the oil cooler to something a bit beefier.

The wheels are cool as nothing like I expected but love em heaps:)

[DaveHAT]

Nice one Deacon ... finally 'tis done and don't it just look THE SHIT!!!!

:bow:

Enjoy. :cheers:

[UTESRULE]

good to see u can finally get to enjoy it now mate after all the work u have put into it

absoluty awesome the wheels look great too looks tuff as from front on with the intercooler :goodjob:

We had the Tas Commodores Drag day today at Tarmac Dragway TAS.

The track has been leased by TDRA and they have been flat out trying to get the timing working all day.

I had one run as a sighter with no timing.

First timed run was 12.77 no MPH but I estimated around the 120 MPH mark from my logs

2nd and third runs 12.9 and 12.8 and one final run 12.9 again.

It was a warm day and the Baro was 97kpa with high humiditiy and the track was very green.

So it was good to have a lash before the first round of the nationals :)

[zorro]

good news mate, the black beast hit the track!!!!!!

will be a fun learning curve for you, M6 with boost leaving the line. Keep us in the loop on progress.

:goodjob:

[TR33VV]

Good stuff mate, well done... :goodjob:

What tyres did you run it on ??

[CRAIG LS2 GD]

Just incase rob is tucked in to bed having beauty sleep, lol just teasing compuer gooroo, they are a 17 inch et street did the job quite well, think he struggled for traction coming on boost in 3rd though might need a couple of meets to sort the track out as it is very green, great result to rob if he runs that consistant a time on a real meet he will take home the money...

[zorro]

agree craig, like you were saying if they only prep to 60ft then it would be hard for anything with top end to run decent.

anyone get some pics of the day?

[boyley]

Was analysing the log last night and IAT was showing 74degC on two runs :shock:

The IAT is a in the engine bay on the intake pipe so will move it to just after the heat exchanger down low where heatsoak is not as prevalent.

Also ECT was quite high too so I will install a 160 deg stat this week.

With these factors around 5 degrees of timing was being pulled and bucket loads of fuel which would have robbed it a few tenths.

I have to admit it will take me a couple of meets to sort my burnouts and clutch control though as I am no genius with three pedals :lol:

[CRAIG LS2 GD]

Tip of the day,get tires spinning second gear on water bring up revs, left foot off break mash go pedal and skid through the tree, picking up all the vht you can,reverse back, stage, left pedal on floor, right pedal almost on floor about 4k, let left pedal out as if it was on fire...hold on and steer, i found this the best method for me when mine was manual....

[EXCESSV]

good work rob on the first hit out.
the learning of 3 pedals with the fatty bumba VE and the fact the track there in tassie is only VHT for the first 60ft was always gonna be an issue.

keep at it and the times will tumble :)

:goodjob:


PS..anything less than 3rd gear in the burnouts on the wet stuff is not acceptable :lol:

[boyley]

Heres a vid of one of my runs

:note I was not racing and missed a gear :hide:

Hey roberturboyle,
The utes a credit too you mate doing a fair bit of the work yourself.
Your times will absolutely improve as you learn how to drive the new found power better every day. Its an art to keep traction or to know how much traction to sacrifice in a 1/4 mile hey? But i know you will get it together.
Into the 12's on your utes first trip down the tarmac is blardy good.
:goodjob:
Hey when do you get the reverse sensors fitted btw? :lmao:
Cheers,
Andy.

[zorro]

Hey when do you get the reverse sensors fitted btw? :lmao:


I think it might sneak in the list of mods above the heater hose relocation :jester:

Found another run best of the day:)

[boyley]

I sorted a couple of issues out this week and hopefully will be faster at the first round of the tassie nats next weekend.

IAT sensor was located in the intake pipe in the eninge bay and was suffering massive heatsoak with the IAT sensing 75 deg C, so I have relocated it to just after the intercooler but down low out of the engine bay. Temps go no higher than 34 deg C at idle now.

Also ECT was showing as high as 110 dec C so I have fitted a cooler (160deg C) thermostat which has got the coolant temps to 80-90 deg C now.

Both these mods will see more timing as I was seeing only 1-2 degrees at WOT in 3rd and 4th Gear so topend was compromised severely.

It's only theory but I reckon there's another 50 hp on the table there.

There is also 100kg of crap I could peel off her too but I like the idea of running an 11 at full weight which includes the spare, jack etc etc

[TR33VV]

Good stuff mate, those are also issues I am having. Fingers crossed and I eagerly await some results.

I got my 11.9 with half a tank of fuel and @ full weight so you will get it no doubt.


Just curious if you are able to get a pic of the relocated IAT or is it in a hard to reach place ??

[sld86]

about 6000rpm launch with abit of clutch slip got me my 1.760ft on mt streets and an 11.3 in mackay. took me about 10-15 runs to get use to peddling in between swapping true street tyres for a 12.1 and then the mt's for 11.3.

Going good mate i been looking forward to seeing the results

[HYMEY]

Hey Boyley, The car looks tough as mate. I think the M6 VE ute will wheelspin with so much torque at hand. I also tuned Charons car(TT1000 GTS LS3) at the track and we got the safest and most hp this way with no more then 11 deg of timing on board, it was happy to sit in relatively high IATs and still command a real 11 deg of timing-11.5:1 afr and 2.0 sec 120-150 splits we got a 11.8@120 mph in a full weight gts with around 137 kpa 5.5psi boost on factory rubber. We have experimented with the A6 for willowbank and it is setup for second gear launches as 1st and 2nd went no where to much wheelspin 3rd gear the GTS ended up in the next lane lol, We have found on 8psi 2nd gear launch is much stronger more tractable and should see near 125mph on street tyres at willowbank.

Focus on keeping the tune safe keep the timing down and fuel in mid to high 11s it will be safe there, if it falls over in the deep end put 7 heat range plugs in it. All you have to do is keep the power down in that beast and it will run low 11s all day on a prepped track!

My best 60 was on hoosier 255/50/16 at benaraby I pulled 60 footers in the 1.6s consistently, Somedays in 1.8s depended on the track either way the car didnt like it I am settling for some front runners and different front shocks also possibly airbags and full slick at the rear. When mine was bolt on would do 1.6s with cam only I struggled to get below 1.9 but I never ever raced it on a prepped track with cam only with the car setup right anyhow. With the blower fast 60 footers were easier as it would refuse to bog down nor break out so easily, more tractable.

Can't wait to test out Mackay, I have heard it is a great track to race on.

Trev I will have to describe it to you mate because its tucked away from sight.

Where the pipe is on the downstream side of the intercooler I drilled a hole on the engine bay side and tapped it out 1/4" bsp because I'm using the threaded IAT out of the VN 5lt (note I dont think this helps with the heatsoak issue and may change to a plastic one, one day) I extended the IAT loom to reach that far, as long as its after the intercooler and not in the engine bay you should be right.

Cheers Mate I probably expected too much first time out but on reflection I'm happy to dip ito the twelves with SFA timing.

Thats quite impressive Joel you sound like youre onto it mate hows the job going you enjoying it?

[TR33VV]

Cheers mate, I shall look into it. Have you monitored ECT with the new thermostat ?? If so does it take alot longer to get up to operating temps ?? It is something I think I may need to do.

Thanks,
Trev...

Trev the temps rise normally but simply maintain a cooler temp at the ECT sensor. It will keep your engine bay temps down slightly which will not heatsoak your manifold so much. Remember the operating temps of or turbo cars is naturally higher than a NA motor so effectively I am getting operating temps back a little.

Talk with Girch about this he may or may not agree, as this is one of those things some reckon is not a good idea.

Cheers Rob

[TR33VV]

Thanks for your time to reply and great info mate, much appreciated...

Trev... ;)

[boyley]

Went to the dragway again yesterday and ran a new PB of 12.2 in the first round of eliminations, that was with some braking at the deep end and I still broke out by 0.5 from my dial in so a little more development will see the car go 11s, I had a best mph pf 118mph and 60ft of 1.8 on the day.

I need to somehow get the air from outside the car as the filter is tucked i behind the bumper and not seeing any external cold air so my IAT's are still way to high when the car is static.

Will get the bumper off next week and see what I can do about it

[SSV8TE]

Good stuff rob. Thats an awsome ute of yours mate and a credit to all your hard work that you have put into it.
Great to see a low 12 at this early stage you at. You will hit the 11's for sure soon enough.
Best of luck with it all matey,
Andy.

[UTESRULE]

have u had any thoughts on a e boost controller do u no much about them are they any good

[CRAIG LS2 GD]

Well done to rob, the car has plenty more in it that was easy to see a bit more track time and consistant 11 s will be on the cards well done bud!

Yeah mate as soon as I am back in the workforce a boost controller is going in and yes they are good as they eliminate boost spike

Cheers Craig just a shame you couldnt run hey

Just a thought about this Robo, why not shorten the intake pipe so that its not behind the bumper say run the filter straight off the turbo for the track, and remove the head light? That way you will know that you are getting external air.

If you didnt want to go THAT far, I'm sure it would just be a simple matter of removing the fog light from the front bar.

[Roonstain]

Only thing is to remove VE headlights you have to take the whole front bar off - i think that would get annoying!!!

I don't really have a solution unfortunately......
Unless you wanted to get the HDT retro style cut outs in the bar - I have no idea!

Good luck - love the look of the ute, and the t800 kit looks tempting....

Yeah Kim I will take the front bar off this week I am thinking the plastic stone tray may need some holes cut in it and maybe some sort of ducting but time will tell

Thats right mate the bar has to come off each time the light is removed so that aint treally practical for something I drive to the track in.

Thansk for the compliment also:)

[TR33VV]

Way to go mate !!! :goodjob: 11's are just around the corner. ;)

[Rub]

They don't make it easy do they? haha...

I think maybe just remove/cut out both fog lights and cover the holes left behind with some mesh.

You need the phone number for ABC Driving school?? Surely your not having a go Rob. Sounds silly but stick a video camera (with duct tape) to the side of your passenger seat headrest. Maybe if you can actually see what you are doing wrong you may be able to work at it.
Can you honestly say you have watched the tacho for the whole first 60'?
Might help.. You know you should be at 11.5,
I know its still new, but you need to be rougher to cut a good time. Flog thru gears and punish the clutch. With 1.8 and 118 your only where the taxi was (that must shit you) Its your drivin buddy!

[exwrx]

Tough love on the driving tips there :jester:

Maybe give someone else a go and see whether there is any improvement?

[zorro]

sounds vaguely familiar to my driving tips at the nats :lol:

keep at it robbo, just get confident with leaving the line with some serious revs on board. Once you find the comfort spot with the right boost and pedal off the line you will be on fire and 11s day in day out will come easy.

:lmao: this coming from a hairdresser from blayney who's got 310rwkw and can only manage a 12.1 :lmao: The calais had 285rwkw and ran 12 flat.

As said above I was racing in the 1st round of the Tassie Nats and I'm not sure if you know much about DYO racing but the idea is to win :stick: the first run in cold air that day and I got eliminated so didnt have the chance to go again.

It's coming together slowly and will improve with every run out, when I get over the fact its 4 months old and its ok to flog it it will probably get faster. Now back to your 6 toed banjo playing cousins
