hi bought some c16 the other day thought why not have a proper go wind up the boost 19psi setup lines to pump 98 out from fuel rails at the track fill with c16 and hang on runnin sat 18th track should be good as a few top fuel dragsters are testing also

[Delft Maloo]

I reckon a 9 is there for the taking.

i frkn hope so mate would be stoked hopefully the top fuel prepped track will help the et streets retain some grip gunna be 30+ degrees see what happens cheers

wow.. this thing is amzing! nice build dude, big ups!

hi ran the wagon again yesterday at andra meet tried some c16 so i could wind up boost didnt really help!!! low boost went 10.7 then 10.7 with a shocking 2.05 60ft then went 10.3 @134 then tried winding up boost to 18psi+ blew hose off t/body 12.1@97mph then was on a good run 1.60 60ft blew hose again ran 10.6@115mphlast run blew hose just before line costing me mph but ran 10.29@132mph 1.654 60 ft anyway drove home perfect just as raced et streets and 20s !!!! just need to nail a better 60ft and no other issues and a pb is there???? any thoughts after fixing t/body issues ie go 3.46 in diff ?? bigger stall was hoding on h/brake foot to the floor at 3000rpm ?? remove big front brakes for a front runna full slick combo?? 90/10shocks???cheers

[dogsballs]

90/10 make are big diff with weight transfer, do gears till you have traction issues.

[GenReaper]

Just doing Brakes, front runners and 91/10 will probably get you very close.

20's on a prepped track realy sucks the et, ever walked on a prepped track you will know exactly why wide tyres are a no no.

If you are not wheel spinning and it is holding boost everywhere down the track dont go 3.4 leave it 3.7 or even try borrow some 3.9s just to try it cause if you can 60ft 1tenth faster with gears and put on some front runners you will be there no doubts.

3.4's will make it spool harder but if your boost gauge is showing good boost then dont bother with 3.4, go 4.11 for lols

Oh and deep stage, not shallow cause that reduces track length and also helps drop et, but not realy good for actual racing IMO.

hi had a bit of steering wheel shake for the past few months only cruising on freeway at 100/110 kays only!!! thought wheels just need balancing due to shit sydney roads had real bad shake today at lower speeds and tyre scrape every revolution of tyre!!! found this and to think was doing 134mph down track as is note: always buy load rated tyres will get some 245/30/20s asap!!!! cheers

[VXSS5702]

Please excuse my ignorance but what brand tyres are they and what do you think has caused that type of damage???

[ittwgn]

Please excuse my ignorance but what brand tyres are they and what do you think has caused that type of damage???

hi mate they are nexen tyres 225/35/20 only load rated 90y should be at least 93+ also runnin heavy iron block adds another 40 kg or so and 20kg + turbo sitting right over this tyre doesnt help theyve been on there for a few years no probs before this sucks that some tyre shops will sell you anything without mentioning load rating etc have been runnin 20s for 6 years or so!!! cheers

[johnv]

245s may be a touch too wide, i have 235/35/20s and there ain't alot of clearence.
