Getting my VL Tuned for the weekend, heading down to Townsville Dragway. Last time i was there (about a year ago) i ran 11.9 @ 122mph on streets with 370RWHP, at the moment we have about 430RWHP and hope with some fine tuning we can get some more out of her.... Here a link with one of my dyno runs, 11.8 @ 124mph run on Streets http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47UDBZ37MUw Dyno Tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57qsRGXrKJA This Clip has an Engine shot in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mp21aeh1oM Engine Pic Added; Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cool mate well done. A few guys went out last week and all the rain has washed all the traction compound off from the last proper meeting. I would recommend coming down to race king of the hill or to race the street meet the weekend after. Otherwise you will be disappointed.

I might take my bike out for a run as my cars still in Brissy, I'll come and say hi. Townsville's not the best for traction either way. Still a heap of fun tho, good luck if I don't see ya out there.

That 5uck5, but a group of us has already arranged transport and a hotel for the weekend. When is the King of the Hill on?

Not this weekend but next. If you have already booked don't worry about it just ring them up and tell them your coming down and ask if they will prep the start line at least. There will probably be a few cars out getting ready for king of the hill anyway. Can't hurt to ask!

Great meeting you guys on Saturday. Most my runs was on low boost (kicking myself) and only running a best of 12.1. My 2nd last run i put in on High Boost and ran a 11.8 @ 124mph (at was on Streets too, the slicks i had were crap). Got back for the last run and just as i was about to run threw are the burn out gearbox went. Hoping its just the Stall as i just put in a new one last week and it was feeling like crap all night. I have a TCE 3000 sitting there that i'll through in. How crap was that track tho???

good to meet you mate. not good about the box mate. least you got into the 11s mate. Car sounded awesome. yeh street meets are a disapointment never any traction. get a new plenum mate and a tune and come back on a big meet.
