Austecs tuned Nitro-Cerb cracked 10.1 on the 1.4 mile!!!!!!

[*Phoenix*]

Yup, the monster running on full 300shot just cracked 10.1 on the 1/4!!!!
Apparently Austec had been working on the car and got her running super smooth before Craig attempted the strip!

So hands down to Austec for finally letting Craig feel confident in taking his monster to the strip!

(told you C! Paul sets the performance and quality bar very high when it comes to his job! thank me later!)

And get that bloody slip slapped on here! Show off man! Everyone else seems to be plastering rolling-road charts and 1/4 mile times on here!

Well done!

(I bet ya 50p I'll crack that 10.1 on just 4 cylinders! hehe)

TEN POINT ING ONE!!!!! With nos I guess!

What was his doing without NoS?

Thats superbike territory, verrrrry nice.

I wasnt aware it was an Austec Car, I thought it was Craigs own work.

Very impressive.

As far as I know, the tuscan-racer ajp build was craigs and his dominions...
But she wasnt running at her best, and craigs been flooded with his work and stuff so decided to have her picked up by Austec (after my persuasion )

thus the recent tuning is Austecs...
god knows what was done, but a fair amount of tuning and mapping using Austecs new rollers and mapping hardware was in the equation...

Congratulations to all involved then.
Can you shed any light on the exact spec, sounds like a monster?!!

edit: Power? Terminal speeds? C'mon Ash/Craig, I need numbers!

God knows... I've texted Craig to get on here, but he seems to have no time for PH much these days... he's been busy doing all the shows recently... I'll get him to email me a scan and I'll stick it up for him, unlike me, hes not into boasting, the whole strip thing was just to see what she could do, he's a track demon by nature...

[TJW]

Tell him, i might be down hedge end this sunday in my car lol! see him there if he is.

[cossiemetro]

my m8's mini does it in 9.9 1/4 horses for courses its a good time but how much is engineering ??? nos runs out and the engine will let go in the end believe me i know
loads od stronger engines it has happened to..........

[TJW]

It has had a lot done to it not just nos slapped in, 4.7 crank, racer heads, custom induction etc etc etc. Producing a lot without nos.

[*Phoenix*]

NOS doesnt kill engines!

NOS'ing poor engines kills, overabusing kills, poor mixture kills....

Craigs been running NOS for a few years now, not a single engine problem! But then, he is also a NOS main dealer for Holly in the UK, so he'd know a thing or two about how to use it right...

PS... I got a mate who pulls regular high 7's in cortina mk1... yup, horses for courses and my mate is 21stones.... he swears he put on the weight for better traction...

[ridds]

Anyone know the answer to without NoS then?

Which track and event does he pull those at Ash?

Garlick, super-modified (last years finals)... great chap, not too sure about his choice of colour though...

Dont quote me on this, but I vaguely recall a 450 before the tuning work was done...

Super mod.. fair enough, hardly a comparison though.. Have a look at pro-mod if you want a serious nitrous addiction, or Chris Hall's funny bike..

Now pro-mod is a whole new ball game, one which us mere piston-heads will never grasp.... supermod is hairless madness enough, promod? well thats like nutless and legless...

I've seen chris play... any man who puts that many teething-horses an inch from his crown-jewels gets my hat off! guts? forget it, balls of pure lava! literally!
