Seriously Kiwi, you have provided an inspirational video mate, thanks for posting it, I have already been glancing at it on the LS1 forum, and your cred goes up a mile. thumbs up (next time a lil quicker on the 2-3 shift eh?)

Your my favorite shortass at the moment kiwi, well done mate see you at the drag day, hopefully i'll only need a one second head start.

Thanks Chris, you’re my favourite AFF guy too!! Yhea 2-3 shift buzzed the limiter!!

Well, I went to Calder on Fri, finally got it tuned by HPF it made 310rwkw, it drives smooth nice and feels 10 times better everywhere!!

On fri I ran as I ran at the LS1 Nats, except this time I had no spool only 3,9’s and I ran full exhaust twin 2 ½ exhaust and cats!!

11.56 @ 120.67mph 60’ 1.71
11,58 @ 120.15mph 60’ 1.69

just found out my Koni’s were adjusted wrong along time ago!!!!!!! Set BACKWARDS so I have been porposing and skipping down the track!!!!

See you all at heathcote on Saturday, hopefully my spool is fixed by then!!

lol up the speed alert! They go up to 180 don't they? Must get annoying down the strip.

That video is awesome, as is the sound. And I've loved that launch photo ever since I first saw it!

The reason they are in backwards is because u are a kiwi, and although you car runs 11's going across the line in 4th, you would probably run a nine backwards.

Yeh, that'd be great. Serious stuff, launching at 6000rpm and staying in the 5000-6500rpm range. The Boss' are going to need the cams to rev and be powerful up in the range. Also the driveline and tyres so it can be launched, we have a way to go yet!
