hey dude, nice car... but i dont think you have your RWKW figure just right you ET time doenst match the power your stating yoru car has. and its only had a edit and a mcai.. which will not get you 245rwkw, you would need a 225/225 cam to get around 250+rwkw :D
you'd be about 215rwkw

Not true, actually mate with a 229/229 cam you should be able to make a lot more than 250rwkw.

Last Sunday we held a Dyno Day at F1 Performance at the highest rwkw we sore on a car with only Blot On's was 258.5rwkw and that was out of a M6 VX II SS with a mafless tune, OTRCAI and full exhaust on PULP.

The highest rwkw we sore out of a cam/ head & cam package was in a A4 VX II Clubbie making a nice a lumpy 287.7rwkw .... however who car;s really when John's VX Clubbie R8 made 358.9rwkw .... ohh it has a 7psi snail on it :rice:

I will say your time of 13.62 is a little down however that could be your driving technique. As for your future mods their looking good however I suggest you drive around for a bit with a rip shifter before actually installing one. A mate of mine had one in his VX II Clubbie and I hated it, however their bloody hard to break!

I guess with JWR57's car is dose come down a lot to the tune it has on it. when my mate first made 247rwkw 14 months ago with Octain Booster everyone said he was speaking crap and these days I know a lot of people running 240rwkw+ with their Bolt Ons.

My 2 cents worth anyway.

Cheers, Chris.

VX SS 5.7 M6

but MPH is a much better estimate of power than ET and 104mph is about spot on for that power in a late model commy.


Yes true that, other more experienced racers think the MPH does have a bit more in it too, but I thought it was pretty good for my first time tho. I've got a new set of pacemaker tri y's on with a full twin system,RIP shifter is in, OTR coming, just waiting for some legal debacle to be solved! But I'm going to willowbank on the 27 of april so I'll have a new ET to post for ya's. Oh, my mate's VY2 maloo makes 241 rwkw with just exhaust, edit, and cai. He's an auto, has a 2800 stall with 3.9 gears he ran a PB of 13.46 @ 106 on a cold night! So I'm thinking I'm in the right ball park as my run was in summer!, Just have to drive it a bit better, And gain some more experience with launches etc. Cheers.
