hey every one ran my car last night put the boost up 1-2 pound so it was at like 14-15 pound, and they let me off but they said make sure i dont do it again. In a week or 2 time im going to crank it big time C-16 trailer it out and try run a decent number.

Haha yeh mate it is, but we've changed a few things around since then, and i dont think im going to bother with a cage just go out it will 100% go quicker then 10.3 now, like 1000% its a completely different set up to before. And it was SIK-25T, he is a good mate of mine i work with him.

Yeh mate i am using a transbrake with a two step set up, i wont denie that, its leaving at around 11 psi off the line. 1.50 60 footer, like it leaves hard, im getting the money together for some C-16 then gonna go for it, and no full slicks this time turns street slicks a bit off the line thats why last run only went 11.5 with a 1.9 60" with out the transbrake just foot brake it went 12.8 at 118mph. BIG BIG LAG. and yes still using same turbo. going to put a T88 or a T51R soon just so i can go over 140mph, so then i get to have a chute on the street haha dont ask why i just love the idea.

propper front runners but cheap **** on standard holden rim. haha at 120mph honestly its a sick adrenalin rush cause u gotta worry about shifting and steering the car and making sure that each run u can just get finished, vl's arent an easy car to drive down the track compared to most other cars i think anyways.
