we done 2 demo runs ran faster times than prepped Tuscan sprint cars, 13s @ 117 mph not bad with street tyres with 28 psi air pressure, we do the do not talk the talk Benny Boy

Dom

Is 13s for a 1/4 mile good Dom?

It's hard to know what are real figures, and what are claims. However, this is a list of quarter mile times: http://www.an-racing.com/quarter.html. That puts Dom's time as identican as a stock Tuscan S and slower that a Griff, Cerbera etc.

You can only compare like with like for the runs at Blackpool as it was run on slippy concrete which although swept had wind blowing fine sand across it, so not ideal and it provided some seriously lary runs as cars struggled to put the power down.

Not really, to be honest would have been nice to run a mid 12s

2 passes on a demo run isnt really a proper pass theres always one who has to knock a proven product...

I didn't knock anyone's product. I just said that in isolation 13 seconds for a quarter mile doesn't really sound massively impressive. You then agreed in your post (as you were hoping for 12s).

I appreciate 'perfect condition' runs with un-mechanically sympathetic drivers will get quicker times, and that's why I mentioned that the times wouldn't be able to be compared directly in my original post.

How come you never 1/4 miled your FFF on sunday Chicken George


Dom

Practicing your rhetorical questions, Dom????

So come on Benny Boy spill the beans why didn't you run ????


Dom

Right, got me can of beans... (sorry, had to pass by the store to get them first.

Reasons I didn't run the car on the sprint:

- didn't have the gear with me.
- Close to Deejay's words here: I don't appreciate runs with un-mechanical sympathy, so I decided, after the engine developed a nasty tick on Saturday evening and Sunday morning it was getting worse (I told you that on the sidewalk of the Sprint venue). Turns out it was a bad tappet shim (has been replaced and the car is up and running again)

But most importantly:

- I'd have wasted you anyway


(Seriously, it was nice seeing you there, missed out on your demo runs, as Mike was checking the engine, and I was trying to make sure I had the flight back on Sunday - PITA to book a flight ticket on a phone LOL).

Stop messing with his head you git.

God knows it's bad enough when we think we hear these bloody noises without you winding us up

Was a pleasure mapping this!

Certainly helped it was built well

It inspired me to go buy a Tuscan myself and develop an ecu option with Racing Green to have full sequential Injection, Knock Control, Traction control, launch control, Engine trips for oil pressure etc, full lambda control and switchable maps to go with their FFF heads.

Keep an eye on the development as your engine/car I feel could definitely benefit from having knock control, sequential injection and Traction control

Enjoy

Hey Ryan,

It'll be back for some more work on it in a few weeks, RG just let me have it for the remainder of the summer, as I didn't have it for quite some time...

I know there are still some things to improve, certainly the things you mention, and a chargecooler for one... Ah well, first some time to enjoy it as is, then improve a bit more.

Does anyone have a link to the article in Sprint magazine from last month??

Dom,

surely you'd be looking at low 12's pushing nearly 12 flat??

My T350 4.0s (STR8SIX) decat with a 3.73 diff ran a 12.4 on an old runway with road tyres on, I am sure there was more to come as well, but my gear stick was coming really loose making changing gear pretty fun.
