Finally

[GreenXR6T]

I finally made it to WSID for the first time in a while.

I'm absolutely stoked to have run an 11.907 @ 119.95mph with a 1.808 sixty foot time on 17" ET streets (which are 7 years old), using VPower.

My car (BA 6M) is currently tuned by Frank (TURBO4LT) and he's perfected the brilliant tune it has now.

Frank has been tuning my car in similar circumstances to Headsex, a home tune without a dyno. Just some software, an AFR sensor/meter for which I had a bung welded into the dump pump to fit it to, and a good ear

I have 100% faith in his abilities and the professionalism and care he has for the car and tune.

It has never, in the last 4 years idled, I've had to blip the throttle (clutch in) everytime as I slowed down so it wouldn't stall, mid range power was average, (would hardly spin in 2nd), yet had up to 393RWKW according to the dyno sheets.

It now never stalls, has bags of torque that spins it easily in third and is that drivable that my Mother in her late sixties could comfortably do the shopping in it.

I had 4 runs, a 12.1, a 12.2, an 11.9 and finally a DNF. I ended up busting the tailshaft on my last run and needed a tow 100km's home. I didn't care as the 11 sec pass made it all worth while.

One happy camper here.

Good stuff Rob, time for an auto and more power

[GreenXR6T]

Sounds good to me.

Stick with the manual and try and better your time. If you where racing every weekend, yeah I would say auto. But you don't do stick with the M6.

[Dillz]

Very impressive mate, what power did you run that time with?

[GreenXR6T]

Pazzo, I will keep the manual and put it back in later. I'd like a shot with an auto, see if a 10 is on the cards and to see how they drive. It will probably be the GM 4L60 I think they're called. A manual shift 4 speed auto.

Dillz, not sure on power but I have had it dynoed between 370 (roller dyno) and 390rwkw (hub dyno) in the past. Now Frank is tuning it, it feels much stronger everywhere and spins 3rd easily, whereas it never has before. Best of all it never stalls anymore.

I will get it dynoed soon.

[Never had any say Panda]

So.. Awesome job..

What was in the right lane?

17sec.. Is that an excel or something?

[GreenXR6T]

TBH I cant remember. There's a heap of different cars up there for just a bit of fun.

Well done Rob! About bloody time! lol

Franks tune must be nice and linear - good to see you still having a crack, I havn't been back out there for years now...
