Well not me.....lol

Yours shouldn't be running 115mph - it should be running 118-119mph IMHO - something is very wrong - maybe get someone to log a run that you are doing - maybe you are having a big throttle lift off or gear changes or slow?

Here is a vid I put on youtube to I could show a mate my run.

Redline is 6800rpm, peak torque is at about 4500rpm, trying to launch at that riding the clutch, peak power is 5800rpm i think, flat changing 3rd to 4th gear.

Let me know what you think.

PS. Its manual on street tyres

You really got to get your hands on some mickey Thompson drag radials,the track isn't prepared that crash hot on street meetings which result to really bad traction issues.
Also I remove my filter from my otr,put a half a bottle of nulon octane booster and go there on a little above a 1/4 of a tank of fuel.
Next time you go down pm me.

Here is a VE running an 11 at 119mph - what you should be aiming for
He is running better tyres though.....

I would just get out there and practice more. Maybe even take it to a independent dyno operator for a run, just to make sure it is running how it should. Who did the work?

Ps- went 12.6@114ish in full street trim in my bolt on VE ute over 2 years ago, stock 19's and all. Practise makes perfect. :)

Yeah but I did probably over 200 runs in 12 months, racing pretty much every Wednesday night and the odd private day. It was good fun. :)

Re: VE 1/4 mile times only data base. - Part 1

had my first crack tonight at willowbank as well. rather disappointed in how it played out. average 60' time was 2.4 seconds. first couple of go's used hsv's 'launch control' (4.5k) setting and never got out of the hole. tried launching myself from 2'5-3k and still couldnt get the power down, with some serious axle tramp to go with it. any less then that resulted in bog. is this a common problem with the E2's? Ran the stock 20" pentagons with continentals on the rear and hsv's suspension upgrade.

thats a great time muncha. was that with the standard 3.45 diff and on a manual car? what was your 60ft like? the best time ive done is 13.0 @107 (60ft 2.05).

Im putting it back on the dyno soon, however i dont doubt the power figures as it was tuned at a very reputable tuner who i trust.

Someone with the same cam as mine, however with 3.9 diff has run an 11.7 @ 117mph on slicks (not sure whether radials or proper drag slicks) recently. he had played around with suspension setup etc though. Ive only done about 20 runs spread across the whole drag season so i dare say its mainly technique involved in the slow times. Moving to perth soon so ill buy some drag radials and have a crack next season!
