I cut the wire to the EEC. It controls dashpot and speedlimiter, so my revs drop quickly on gear changes which is a bit of a downer. All the more reason to change quicker. I haven't tested the speed limiter yet. Will have to save it for the track to see. I hope it works or I'll be spewing.

I'm a bit reluctant to put the speedo corrector together myself. I've got a very short attention span which tends to lead to impatience which then leads to breaking stuff... Maybe do a few bits at a time.

How do you find the gears Jas?

Weld your axle tubes and brakes into a 9" center section and forget about borgy rubbish forever!

I like em. But I felt I should've gone higher. 3.9's might have been better, I reckon 4.11's would be awesome If the car didnt have to be driven every now and then, just solely at the strip.

But overall cruising its a great gear, I plan to put more power into it, so it might be a wait and see thing too

But I will well and truly find out tomorrow, when we race for pinkslips, I mean time slips. :D

Yeah, some pretty good news...

On my first run I ran a 13.73@100mph with a 2.000 60'. I think the gears paid off! :)

My second run was the same time and 60' except I cracked a 101mph.

3rd run saw my best time of the night. 13.614@101.23mph. I aced the launch with a 1.940 60 footer. After that I stayed around the 13.7s with flat 2.0 60's for a while before the clutch started to become a problem and the times were creeping up with the 60's

Cheers Gregg, I'm very happy with the results. I thought there was a bit more in it, but the times started creeping up after that. I need to give it a bit more breath up top now to get that mph up a bit.

I was in the Perth Falcons lane so it was good to go up against a few of the other guys. I would've liked to get in the mix with some of the VEs and VZs. Maybe I'll head down again next Wednesday. :D

Well done mate. My best 60' is 1.8, and that is with GAS and Street slicks through a stalled AUTO. Very impressive

Good stuff Chad,

Shame I didnt get to run agaisnt you despite being parked up behind you a few times.

Would've been outdone though, was a great night. I ended up with a 13.9, the fourth gear in an auto is lame indeed. :x

Let us know if you are going down again. Maybe we'll see A certain AU down ther too, eh Jeff. :twisted:
