its not as easy as you think dude, to tune a car on the bottle down the track could make or break which its not something anyone would want to risk when so much money/time is at stake if something does happen. why dont you ask the guys down at jpc how come they dont use it down the track, quiet simply with a turbo engine its a headache.

I was right near the start line and will try to get the footage off my mates camera during the week cause of work.
It's on one of those dvd video camera's so should be to hard to upload to laptop
When I get it, I'll throw it up in here
I got the NDSKYZ and rajab's first run, but not second as I was saving the battery for a mate's run of 10.99 (transbrake failed)

mate most race cars syd an melb use the bottle mate, rajab car doesnt need the bottle down the track as its got the power to go all the 400 metres without it an run the numbers its just for spool, in other cases its to help it go down the qtr but thats your choice at the end of the day if you want to take the risk of breaking it an you got money to fix it then go ahead run 500hp nos shot you will get to the 7s before anyone else its not indicated at you mate ^^^.

Still the link atm
Stock re-mapped ecu goin back in over the weekend, it will run rough as guts but not driving it until I can get the autronic fitted as I sold the link.
Gotta run around some of the shops to see what it will cost to fit & tune
and how long will it take, don't want it sitting there for weeks.
Not sure of boost as I think guage is out
was reading 18psi, but could of been more or even less.
New gauge on it's way soon, well replacement
I can't give it too much stick, cause still got the stock tranny..
don't want to blow it

I've heard that power was taken out to run the 8.08.It would be interesting to see rajab's go full chassis with this setup it would be well into the 7's and imagine with twin cam on top with methanol??????SCARY

Lets not turn this into a nitrous argument guys. For simplicity sake, lets just say it doesn't matter how much or where its used, the time is there and I'm sure they will continue to improve.
I do however think everybody is underestimating the cars in some of the other stables at the moment. If someone knowledgable sets up a chassis, they shouldn't take too long to get it sorted out, I'm sure both the bresciani race car, robs tube frame car, and the one no one has mentioned, Vas's car, will all come out soon chomping at the bit to dip into the 7's. It will be an interesting time when all 4 of these cars are at a racetrack, let alone when all 4 at are the SAME racetrack. Imagine the motivation of all of them when there are 3 other similar powered cars at the same meet
6BOOST

Car hasnt arrived from qld as of yet so once the owner trucks it down ill grab some pics. Not sure who told you twin cam but it has a big sohc package going in, looking to run into the 8second zone.
so do we have to wait for fullboost or does anyone have footage?
