I also saw your car on Active's facebook page as well, do you work there?
You seem to know a fair bit about them.
I left a couple of months back and gone back to my trade. Awesome place to work, some amazing cars come out of thereQuote:

Most certainly beyond my humble reckoning given The Black Maloo requires the services of a 5K Vigilante in front of that same A6 …..Simply to run 1.7’s
There is a well Known VE A6 running 10.2’s over in WA……..might I suggest you ask the good chap what High Stall he utilizes ( for a damn near identical time slip) , for factory stock it is most certainly not. Not hard. He’s already posted in this thread.
:popcorn: ...
I'm telling you, that the GTS had a stock stall at the time of that time slip being printed, I can vouch for his having worked on the car, and driven many road km in that car also. I can also tell you that I have also driven 3 other Active blown combos at the drags with stock converters, all running in the 1.6s on radial tyres too champ.
Just because you find something impressive and hard to believe in your own small mind, does not mean the person PROVING these facts is a liar. Short of taking the gearboxes out of these cars to prove to someone on the other side of the country, I don't see what other evidence you need to see. I'm not here to defend myself (or eddy) for that matter to someone such as yourself. Would you like to see the other time slip of a stock 6.2 bottom end Maloo running 1.65 60 ft on radials? Or would you prefer to just call me a liar again and save me the hassle
hahaha 60ft wars against markone2 bring it on !!!!
:yup:I think we are going to have some entertainment this evening:lmao:Quote:

I never claimed 1.41? Maybe you should read my post again. I told you I regularly race an LS3 Maloo with a stock converter that runs 1.65 in the 60 foot on radials, a feat you previously claimed was " a flight of fancy imho"
If Active want to back this up to satisfy your criticisms is up to them, I no longer work there so cannot speak on their behalf.
Kudos to you for having raced before! I also have run in excess of 170 passes this year alone in over 10 different LS engined combos. This isnt to mention the amount of passes I have also done in the last 13 years i have competed. Unfortunately i havent bothered to count each time slip to back up a pointless internet argument. Clearly evidence isnt enough for you so this is where I bow out.
so what are the secrets to get them to hook up so well with a stock stall in a fullish weight car ??!!!! many here would like to know !!!
I was there that night and dam it flys...
Wow 1400+ passes didnt no how much you knew qas messured by how many runs you've done at the strip...
If thats how it works watch out cos ive done alot more than 1400
From what i have experienced, the hi stall cars are too aggresive off the line with a hi stall, and near on impossible to hook up cleanly. The stock stall tends to "drive" alot better off the line, allowing the car to build speed before maximum torque comes in. The Maloo was simply a matter of traction off, leave it in D and drive it. No 2nd gear starts, no manual shifting
Thankyou for that :thumbsup: Never heard so much dribble since I 1st became a member here.perhaps you miss read my previous post, BUT its me who regularly pulls 1.4’s….NOT you………and all on MT Drag RadialsQuote:
