04-12-10, 07:58 GMT+10#61 my PB for the night was 14.4.
Just like Dave im in need of a tune!
wouldnt boost anymore than 9 psi last night which blows,but then traction was an issue anyway.Again the gearbox was an issue too,so once they sorted an easy high 13,flat 14 is there.Hoped it had more in her but really happy none the less.

good to see those that turned up
was good to see ya down there Dave,car looked good on the strip,was very impressed with how quick your car was,well done!
Was looking at time slip from our run together,my R/T was quicker than yours but by 1/8 mark you were quicker,but i had little more top end and just beat you across line,was close race,good fun too.
end result my time 14.809 daves time 14.863.
Nothing in it really.

04-12-10, 10:19 GMT+10#65 Fastest I got was 16.3 but it kept dying at half track. First gear was fine but the end of second gear it just cutout and the spluttered. Think the carb nots getting enough fuel. Ah well just gives me something to work on I guess.

Yeah very evenly matched and I think both cars will break into the 13's without too much hassle. As I posted in the drag thread, it's very interesting to see the whole mash up of the RT's, ET's, 60 foot's through out the night.. Hahaha it's good too squirt the temperature gun at a few things and pretend look a hell of a lot more professional than we actually are!
