So last time I posted (last week) I had achieved an 10.965, I went this week with plan of seeing if I could repeat this number so I could find out what my combo is worth.

So today (my birthday!!) I ran at drags again 4 runs total

RUN 1


RUN 2


RUN 4


Now the eagle eyes amongst you would go what happened to run 3!!!

Well 3rd gear burnout good launch!!! 10.758 @ 131.13mph 1.566 60ft



Who needs a cam!!!
Ran a modified LSA tourer on my 2nd run talk about close!!!!


What can I say all these cammed upper/lower pulley cars running and mine lower pulley only sticking it to em!!!!

Cheers Procar and big thumbs up to Forced Induction Interchillers keeping me cool!!!

Good going mate! What % overdrive is your lower pulley?
I've mentioned previously, it is 28% or 10" with ATI balancer.
You gotta be cooling car with lot more boost.

I am contemplating fitting 2.55 upper with 9.17 lower and possible water injection but it is a cost basis.
Figure doing these and retune should be 10.4 in it stock cam heads throttle body and unported blower/snout.

Ported snout/blower and throttle body adds up to approx 50rwhp

It's like what do I do now!!
Original goal was 600rwhp and hi 10's
Not made 600rwhp but have gone beyond my time expectations.

I have chance of 2.55upper and 9.17lower just gotta figure if the extra heat/boost trade off acceptable
Be going from 13/13.5 psi to 16psi so researching what times etc.

Seems 10.4 or 5 is realistic

Also can get my hands on fully ported blower & snout and 102 throttle body but it's $$$
I don't have.

If do that then I'd slap a small cam in and get low low 10's
Where does it end

I am reluctant to change the upper as it is small enough as is. A larger cam will drop boost pressure and related heat build up whilst gaining a hefty wedge of power. Going to go full custom cam at some point but btr3 is a nice intermediate for now.
yeah I still think keep my 10" (28%) just thinking look at a small cam (not LS9) will net about more.
But then the stock cam is really good low down.
Car drives real good now on road I average 12.5ltrs per 100km and do 90km a day on commute on mix of motorway/stop start driving.


!!!!!! grrrrrrrr
