Hello peoples , thanks for the comments , well it runs a stock motor , stock turbo, AVO stage II cooler , tranny has been modded but still has problems (no third) , 9" 3.9 gears , mini spool and i was running 15 psi , i wanted to go higher but my dizzy cap was cracked and didn't want to risk it but i'll be back on the 29th and hope for a 13.5 with all the problem fixed and slicks this time ( retreads 205's with the air down to 12 psi still don't hook up very well) but had a good time .

nah, just teasin the big fella roof, coz with pissy lil 205's at the back, and a slippery track and start line like calder, it doesnt make for much traction!! greater surface/contact area on the ground does..

What's done to the tranny, that's not bad times for what you have done, i'm usually down the runs in a VNGPA lookalike with 18's on it, he has just done a cam and chip it's an 8 and it goes well for what it is, you may remember from Wednesday night, we were behind you on the way to the Glen and he gave that green VK a squirt rolling and got it top end. Does your car beat that red calais with the cooler that the front bar's cut out.
