Went to the drags tonight for the first time ever and I had a blast! First couple of runs were terrible and missed 2nd as it's a prick of a gearbox. I got 2 alright runs in. Both in full street trim, I ran a 12.8 and 12.9. All runs had terrible 60 footers averaging 2.2 seconds. And I averaged 182kph on every run. So I think it has a low 12 in her, just need to get some slicks.

115mph is good.
I'm looking forward to your times after the 60ft's improve. (Not that 12.9 isn't great already)

When do you think you will get back to the drags? Keep us updated.

Nice, I am going on Sunday.
Might look at going back with 3.45's and semi-slicks after that if I'm not quick enough.

I will Definitely be keen to see your results improvement.

Nice to see you got into the 13's deuce! What diff gears were you running and how were your 60 footers? Il be going down next Wednesday hopefully with some semi slicks. I changed the diff over on Sunday and she is on a whole new level of quick!

Just a quick snip the photographer took of the interior if my car whilst in scrutineering

2.2 not bad for 19s, man i couldnt get any traction with 19s, literally just wanted to fry rubber my 60ft times were horrible so i didnt bother, just put the ets on. My ute runs out of huff tho lol, built it as a street car tho. With tubs to the rails you could fit a 275 or maybe a 305. I want more traction as at the moment cant use stall off line even with ets it still spins pretty bad. But mainly want the traction for the street if you know what i mean ;)

Yeah i feathered first all the way to about 5k and shifted second. Any launch over 2k rpm would just spin. I think i will hit the 120 - 125 mph bracket the next time i go down. These diff gears have made a massive difference, especially when they hook up! I have no idea what tyre to go with, or even what rim to put slicks on :/ gonna do some research over the next couple of days i think
