congrats mate, awesome time. What tyres? ET's?

8.97@153 255 et street

Thank you! rb30et/glide/42x/e85/basically standard rear end, tuned Next Up Performance. Done with 2 headlights and on et streets Glad I didn't need to go full Coleyz and post my own thread congratulating myself on a PB. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Top effort, what boost? Cheers

Was on 36!

Good MPH for 36psi . Out of curiosity around how much timing has it got at 36? Understandable if you dont want to give away too much . Cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Good effort Kyle! On 255 et streets only. what happened to the borgwarner billet 76mm? went back to a 71mm 42? also still got a hydraulic cam in it?

It's called keeping people that are interested in my car up to date how it went. Hate to luv myself ya flog! Congrats on the 8 tho!

congrats sherman...

sick titties, thats awesome. cheers darren

Awesome time. How do you get 255 60 15 under the back?

Well done, with that MPH to run an 8.97 its obvious by the vids its getting out of the whole straight as an arrow and to do it with stock suspension is killer although i'm sure there is some nice little tweaks under the rear end Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Congrats champ for bring it home with a 255 radial all the hard work has paid off... Shore to see more quicker numbers out of your car and congrats to next up performance for all the hard work.... You must have learnt a lot from us at Calder see ya at jambo NEW PB 8.9@155mph Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey mate I spoke to you at Jamboree for a bit. Im building the same sort of setup as your car. Just wondering what diff/axles/centre you were running at Jamboree? Cheers Dane

Hey mate, I am using 31spine axles and an lsd centre from g&j diffs in Melbourne, with a t/a diff cover (that the braces were loose on). I don't have the diff out yet but I suspect it will be gears!

Yeah mate! Will stay that way for ever I'd say!

So here's an update on ONO747, a fair bit has changed in the past month with a new head combo going on the car we ran back to back 8.91@155 a few weeks ago. After this we make the trip to sydney only to have the diff break 20ft off the start line on the very first qualifying run. With another set of std gears in the car we headed to the track last night with the car exactly how we had it prepped for Jamboree. I think we were all surprised with a 8.81@157.9 off the trailer backing it up 30mins later with a 8.85@156.5 New Pb to half on the first run and a new 60ft pb on the second run of 1.362, Once again a massive congrats to Shermn89 it's been a long hard road but with results like this it makes it worth all the pain. We will be taking a break from the track for a few months but keep an eye out for us with a new setup in the lead up to Brisbane Jamboree Video from last night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz654Q89im8 Cheers John

Thanks John, another tough night at the track!! Time for a few changes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
