Chucking a th400 (3 speed clunker) even in the most basic package can make it an animal.Quote:

So a converter and th400 can really get them moving.
Sometimes the older tougher stuff just cant be beaten.
There are several low to mid 10 second VE's still using the factory A6.
I do understand the need to change out gearboxes in high powered cars but not in 10-11 second street cars!
Haven't posted in this thread for a while.
Ran a pb a few months ago.
11.1 @ 126mph.
Since then my bog stock 6l80e has given up after 7 years & 9 months.
Ran this time with stock 6l80e, 3000 converter, stock 2.92 diff, stock shocks & ET's.
Car is making 456rwkw on e85, still need a touch better 60ft for a 10, but with a built trans I think it should do it.

First pass was 11.52@117.8mph. Every run after that the shifts were starting to flare and could not nail a decent pass.
Trans is getting some attention now, tempted to drop back to 3.45 diff gears to save the 4-5 shift before the line.

Took the VE ute down last weekend after getting it all ANDRA tech'd however only was allowed one full pass as I hadn't got my ANDRA licence yet.
Still very happy with a new PB of 9.5 @ 148.

GTX45 - VE SSV ute, Full weight(4300lb) 403ci LQ9, Standard L98 heads,
GTX45 turbo, 4" dump to twin 3", Th400 auto, TCE converter, 3.27 diff gears - 800rwhp+
Has to be seen to be believed...
262mph on what has to be called a wet track!
Faaaaaaaaaaaark!!!!!!!!!! Not really a VE though. :)
Ran a new personal best for this car last night at WSID.
12.589@115mph, 1.91 sixty footer.
VE SSV M6, full weight including half tank of fuel and full size spare.
Full exhaust, OTR with MAF, 217/225 camshaft, 4.10 gears and a truetrac.
Bridgestone potenza tyres at 34psi.
Took my VE GTS LS2 A6 to Calder a few weeks back in street trim. It has 1 3/4 4 into 1 Hurricane extractors, 100cpi cats and some crappy twin 2.5" catback, VCM OTR (with the MAF) and a tune by Millsy.
60ft 2.027
ET 13.12
MPH 108.6
I only had two good runs, the other being 13.15 at 108.4mph. It will be fitted with a small cam in a few weeks and will head back to hopefully break into the 12's.
took my ute to heathcote last sunday it has hsv headers xforce 2 1/2 and duss otr .oztrack mail order tune auto 08
13.66 at 105 mph .2.1, 60 foot ,happy enough with that
I figured on Wednesday I would give street tyres a shot at the Motorplex. Cheap and nasty Doublestar 275/30 R20`s and ran 11.990 first pass

Thats a good 60 foot time for streeters,well done
Ran another personal best last night at WSID with the addition of some drag radials.
12.288@114mph, 1.80 sixty footer.
Although I was eventually hoping to get the car into the 11s I dont think its going to happen without adding more power, the only other left I can do is remove some weight, I can maybe remove 80-100kgs but that wont be enough I think.
VE SSV M6, full weight including quater tank of fuel and 2 full size spares (I have to swap to drag radials at the track).
Full exhaust, OTR with MAF, 217/225 camshaft, 4.10 gears and a truetrac.
M&H 245/45/17 drag radials at 23psi.
I did this one a few weeks ago in my dad's old car I tuned for the new owner.
VE SS A6
1.8 - 60"
11.2 @ 124mph
Stock Convertor, 2.92 diff. has a Cam & MP2300

DA; 1000ft.
Mods;
3.45 diff, OTR, LS7 MAF, deep trans pan and a tune, on drag radials. Stock everything else including exhaust and convertor.
Car weight;
4000lbs including driver and half a tank of fuel, no spare.
More to come, my trans tune is a little off still.
Got down to the track again last night, it was super busy and the workshop wars crap ment I was only able to get 3 runs in but still managed a new PB for the GXP.
12.34@115, 1.91 sixty foot, same mods as above.
Cooler air and faster gears shifts certainly helped, I think thats as fast I can get it to go with the current mods, will have to get orgainsed and do a cam and exhaust over the winter.
NSW Owner's Club hosted a private drag day last Sunday. Managed to reel off 27 runs without incident.
Attachment 5417
The best was 12.734@113.26mph with a 60' of 1.985. Full weight VE Senator Signature with DUS OTR, JTG LPG system, HM 1 7/8" headers, 200CPI cats, HM 2.5" bi-modal on street rubber (Kuhmo KU39@25psi). All tuned by Luis at APS in Frankston.
Mick
Far out.... 27 runs in one day is a huge number :shock:
The car looks great Mick! :cheers:
2010 GXP Maloo A6.
Now has heads, cam, converter, throttle body and manifold, DPE exhaust.
Still weighs 4000lbs.
Made 486rwhp.
First trip to the track with this combo and only got two full runs in for the night, best was 11.46@122 with heaps more in it, could only manage a 1.700 60 foot.
2010 GXP Maloo ute.
Same mods as above with added wave track diff and POS stall converter adjusteded up in rpm.
11.30 at 121. 1.67 60 foot.
Conveter was built for my combo to be 4500, turned out to be stalling at 3400, had it adjusted by 800 rpm and it now stalls at 3700, think it might be scrap metal and I'll try someone else.
What brand converter? I'll possibly always stick to stock converter for my needs as a daily but just in case want to know what brands to avoid. :)
That's a decent 60 ft! What tyres?
Its a Dominator converter, very disappointed in it.
I think the sixty foot is rubbish, this combo should be capable of low 1.6s or even high 1.5s with the correct stall speed, the tyres are M&H 275/50R17, they are 28 inches tall so they are a track only deal as they send the ABS nuts but with the right tyre pressure it dead hooks every time.
