Ive run a 13.006/109 and a few 13 flats am thinking of having a go at a 12 improving with what ive got as ive only been down the strip once with 2.16 60' pb.

13's on my street rubber in the 290 ute, manual. Got a 12.99999 on MT's once. This was with all bolt ons and tune.

Unopened ???? If you dont count oil pump gears

I have stepped up a league now though......

My bad spoke to him last night, he did the 13.0 on dunlops and the 12.85 on MT streets. Only know of Daboss that did a 12.4 on his streets in his 290 which is a very good effort indeed.

Yes they are street tyres but about as sticky as MT streets, correct me if Im wrong Jayba but I think he means normal street tyres eg: factory dunlops etc.
And is yours a 260?

My 60ft was 1.8 and i have a 3500 dominater in it. Still wasnt able to stall it up as it would just spin.

Get there earlier I think you rolled up a bit late last time, if your ready to go at 6pm you will get 3 runs in row without any problems..
weather Friday min 7 deg, Max 11 deg.... Says showers hope they stay away..

JAYBA · 10-06-2008, 04:31 PM

is your tailgate removed for those runs?

a and could you describe how you found the car after the stall was changed would you recommend it on the street does the car feel like its losing top end after the stall was fitted?

260?? I thought you were running a 290. Even more impressed with that time now, I was there when you ran it.

Yes mate tailgate was removed and i would highly recommend a stall.
Top end is fine and it wakened up it up down low.I would even consider going bigger personally, thats how suttle it is on the street.4500 would be nice
