Anyone with an approximate rwkw fig to achieve low 10s manual car has got all the goodies to hook up just need to get power fig close also would an et street tyre do or should I run full slix thank u

When I run 10.2 with the manual it had 385kw at wheels

Vlnitron thanks u don't know me but I'm good mates with big Harry train with him I will struggle to make that power need to spend more money I will work to that great work on both sa records

Cheers mate

Et should b good enough I'd say?? Not that I've raced before... Not yet anyway lol but in near future I'd like to

Thanks for answering that would like to run fast on et streets will try early 2013 let u know hope to c u out there

Lol I'm looking more bout middle to end of year giving it a go....

Dont think mine would have run that time on a et street. Slicks are a lot better. It takes a lot more that just big kw to tho. Suspension set up and engine tune is the key.

Wat u think would of run on a et street..?

Thank u vlnitron I'm in street commodore mag as 5th fastest in my old VH 10.1 on slix will run on slix for sure I have def looked into suspension set up 50/50 90/10 a boss engineering Borg 31 spline moser axles adjustable upper control arms boxed in lower arms any other info would b greatly appreciated will change gearbox once this one goes ps what size slix did u run mate

You will probably have to run a 26x10 or 28x9 slick. Both will fit under the guards with minimal to no modification. Seat belt bolt out and or raised rear end. You may get away with running a 26x8.5 however it will depend on how skatey it is. I've run a few mid 10s on those.

Thank u xchase another successful racer running a 15/8 cop rim so will prob run 26/10 or 28/9 do u mean back seatbelt bolts out for the tyres this is such an amazing forum I really appreciate everyone's help

Yeah mate back ones. Also rear bumper clips next to wheel arch.

The potental is also there to break ****loads more stuff running radials ...sorry don't mean potential..its a known fact that you WILL break heaps more ****..especially manual, theres a lot less shockloading with radials, and seeing as vl manuals are timebombs anyway..your just making it worse.. To run low 10's in most dynoes here you probally need 400-440rwkw.. to go 136-140 ish mph xx vlt..you the dude at the gate at mallanats? cheers darern

Mate I am that bouncer at the gates at mallanats thanks for ur info mate car will struggle to make that power but we will have a go the business I own can pay for breakages or might just convert to power glide to race but I enjoy the manual on the street now I'm confused lol all is good. Thanks

If its 3540/ 1.06...cam that makes power to at least 6500rpm, and its on jungle juice it should make that power on 26-30psi of boost...if you have a 3540 you don't want a cam bigger than 230@.50 top end revs will get pulled down by turbine/exhaust housing flow anyway so no point going bigger.. Put a auto and 8- 8.5 inch converter in it, and you will probally lose 3-4 mph traps, but break ****all cheers darren

Don't worry about power figures in running 10's in a manual, can you snap gears like cozza is the big question

Probably not but willing to try plenty of practice needed I'm sure I will have fun trying I might get corran to teach me if he would lol

He will teach you from the side lines. Just REV IT!
