143mph is pretty good! might be closer than I thought than But 143mph in a vl is easy 9s 143mph in mine would be low-mid 10s with half decent launch n shifting I'll be there, aslong as I don't break it this week My solid rear bushes are going in Sunday hopefully

So with this rear end what 60foot you think you will get "at best" Troy? Goran I believe did a 2.2 60 the other night? Correct me if im wrong.

The best it could do going by what's been done in the states is about 1.5-1.6 That's similar power, 6spd, tires, rear end ect Better suspension and 1.4-1.5 is doable

Holy Crap! 1.5 is an awesome 60ft Troy. Do you think you will get out to willowbank at any stage? Also is your supra still full weight?

Yes full weight Will be heading to willow as soon as I get my tires Hoping they will b here by powerplay A supra weighing 3560lbs running a 72mm, same size tire, basically the same rearend, same coilovers, stock engine, stock cams at 29lb went 1.57 60ft 144mph and 10.09 I'm bigger turbo, more compression, big cams, bigger exhaust and stickier tires But I've never been to the track to race ever and haven't had much seat time

Will be good to see. With that 60, and basically the same car but with heaps more power a 9 should be easy hey.

It's got the setup to go 9s on the std motor but it would b easier with a 15" rear tire and proper suspension like hks drags or ksport drags I've also only got an a series diff which is a touch smaller than the us b series but it's stil got the trd centre Also switching to the smc will b good with the ALS and launch control

Congrats with what time you've done so far, a blind man can see that it will only get quicker and doing it so easy, makes minds think

My dirty duck did 1.89 60 off the foot break with 26x8 slick stock rear end, 118.9mph to half track 10.1@141mph total. not to mention hitting the limiter @ 1000foot mark cos I can't rev it. You have a better arss end, 10.5 tyre if need be and transbrake. get it to hook up and your home. ---------- Post added 03-02-12 at 12:54 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by TroyVK [View Post] it would b easier with a 15" rear tire and proper suspension like hks drags or ksport drags I Wouldn't worry about your suspension troy a 1.5 60ft is plenty for a 9. We are almost doing 9 flat with 1.5 60's. You'll be sweet

Then the built motor goes in Why not concentrate on actually taking this motor to the track just ONCE? Instead of planning your next calaisturbo thread built motor.. why do you need to build another motor when this one probably hasn't even turned over? Are you honestly reading the **** people are posting, and believing that they are taking you seriously? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
