Another one?!?!?! FYI, the Futura got 14.87 bog stock (I did have the transcooler but that adds weight not power :P)! And that's with the 4sp! In other words, I can see a little re-shuffle of the NA6 top ten....

1. Doogstar 13.750 @ 101.95
2. BigAl 13.803 @ 101.70
3. Brendan Mock 13.844 @ 99.91
4. XRchic 14.04 @ 99.00
5. MYLOxr6 14.09 @ 98.57
6. Falc'man 14.303 @ 98.52
7. Falcon73 14.471 @ 96.92
8. Ruger 14.589 @ 95.58
9. HSV-KLR 14.623 @ 95.63
10. Xhxrsix 14.66 @ 94.56

I really believe you (ZF) guys would get low 14's with a half decent run. Good luck.

I wouldn't laugh too much, the weather is colder down here. :P

[TUF270]

just a stupid question...is running with the 20's on gonna slow me down? or help me get a better launch? considering they are 9.5 wide at the back?

[Neoxr6]

dont the bigger wheels take more energy to get turning? so that means you will be slower

[TUF270]

So i probably try and get some pursuit steel 16" wheels for the back then?

[Neoxr6]

i really dont know im just going off what ive read.

[Samboh]

I have a feeling therell be some PB's hopefully I can take my time down by quite a notch with fitting the headers,cat n exhaust

You are right. The larger rims are usually heavier thus more power is required to turn them, and because of the larger diameter you will get less tractive effort. Changing to 16's will make a substantial difference.

Don't forget to pump the front tyres to the maximum pressure for less rolling resistance.

The rears should be around 38psi. If you fail to maintain traction with about 1700rpm stall then deflate the rears to about 32psi on the following run. Keep doing this till you find the sweet spot.

Enter the Yellow XR6...

Well, there's only one way to do that, and that's to follow me into the realm.

Although there's a good chance you will be beaten by me but I've gotta get some cash together and something designed... :evil3:

[Samboh]

thats very soon lol would require like diff gears or supercharger or sumthing?

[TheSneakiness]

Could be.

But for now I'm a maybe...

[Samboh]

lol well when you run me we will see what you got in it, ill know if you have got diff gears :P

[TheSneakiness]

I'm back in again... hee hee hee.

[TUF270]

you annoy me kenny...im jealous of what you got up your sleeve....lol

[TheSneakiness]

I'm in two minds with it now Michael... found another thing I'm gonna take into consideration.

[strawb]

Hopefully i'll have the BA, so i might come down for a run.

[Neoxr6]

Is anyone keen for a run on a Wednesday night out to Willowbank? there doesn't seem to be as many cars on a Wednesday. this way we could get more runs.

Maybe the 2st or 28th.

Thanks

[TUF270]

[Neoxr6]
