    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.

    Yeah they have a great reputation, I am sure they would.
    I saw all your stuff was done there and I guessed.
    So what are you doing now then? Another tuning shop?

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

    Whilst there is no doubting your sincerity to those good folk who built and tuned your VE,( it’s all over the Net ) ,I believe your labouring under a grave misapprehension when it comes to what the VE 6 speed Auto can 60ft at on the stock converter , put in Layman terms a 1.61 60ft ,minus the services of a High Stall is but a flight of fancy imho, even allowing for the highly abbreviated time slip .

    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.

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

    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

    I can save save you all the hassles, simply get Active to post there build sheet and stand behind it, after 1400+ runs over 1/4 mile I am not stupid *50SHADES* Gav or what ever your moniker is ..can I ask..ever put your hands on the tools in the workshop sunshine?

    As for 1.65 on Radials try 1.41.....should have done your homework !!!!

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

    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.

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

    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
