    8.89 @ 158 mph

    Took the ute out to the first street/comp test and tune last night at Calder park, no doubt there would of been a few pb's as the track prep was awesome. Latest mods are all new weld in cage, fuel cell, perspex windows and fully stripped interior. Have pulled approx 80 kilos out of car. First run of the night was 8.89 @158 mph 1.45 60 ft
    thankyou to Horse Power Factory for prepping my car and to Marty for waving his magic tunning wand once again. For those who dont know the car its a VY SS ute 402 iron block twin turbo,glide.Car is making approx mid 700 rwkw, 29.5 x10.5 slicks still irs (yuk!) ..Still havent used transbrake, might give it a bash on next meet 11th of Feb which ive been told they are flying a guy out from the states to prep the track for the FUCH'S APSA SHOOTOUT the following weekend...

    GREAT WORK TIM must be wrapped with your first 8sec past looked great......
    I think the Trans-Brake will help you out of the hole, but I know why you don't want to use it three letters IRS
    On the high side do believe you are now the Fastest IRS Commodore in the Country
    Well Done

    Good work keen to know ur weight etc mine is getting a cage welded in now so we can do a run a Calder best we have done so far at heathcote is 10.1 at 149miles but no traction for first 100 metres so would be good to try a different track
