Hm on that note does anyone know how fast a Ford BF XR6 MKII does quarter mile standard. I can use this as a comparison. Beat my mates one (With CAI) by a car length or 2 right from the line until 140 then i started pulling away. Also won't be see any strip tests until the auto is rebuilt with shift kit & 2800 stall and the Twin Throttle Body Manifold is put in. After that I will be doing tests before and after supercharging the car. Strip & Dyno =D

They do a lowish 15. But it's hard to tell on the street, you can get a .2 head start so easily without noticing and .2 off the line is like half a second at the finish line which is the same as having a BULK load more power. The only way to know what really happened is with beams

Nah his got a private street we can test on (he has farm). We setup some lights as well so it was pretty accurate. Ideally the testing should have been done on the strip. During this testing the outcome was always the same.

Oh the old private street ;)

OK, I actually half believe you and don't care anyway really, as for me I just use a street INTO my parents' farm, which nobody but us ever uses. I think that counts just as well, as long as I don't leave any big fat burnout stains on it I don't see the problem:)

On this note we ONLY condone practical testing of this nature to be done on certified track, for the obvious safety and legal reasons!

CORRECT! :thumbsup: The track is the ideal place to do testing of this nature.
