matt036 Legacy Donating Member 280 Member For: 16y 6m 6d Gender: Male Posted 14/04/14 04:25 AM Posted 14/04/14 04:25 AM I was running a 275 40 17 MT's. I was hittin limiter rite on the line if not right after but not before so it might have 1 or 2 mph at best left in it with that setup but would need a bit more power to get it there. For time and I was runnin id say puts me bang on the power figure it made.

Id say the ba's had the taller gears for the 5 speed manual but released the 6 speed with the same gears. They might have gone the shorter gears in the bfs being a 6 speed alowing for 6th as an added overdrive.

It's possible that Matt's is a non-factory T56 with a 3.45 rear giving him a bit more top end in 4th gear.Were you using the same tyres, Gaz?
gaz097 Legacy Donating Member 1,752 Member For: 14y 11m 23d Posted 14/04/14 05:09 AM Posted 14/04/14 05:09 AM Yeah same rubber. And yeah that is a possibility
matt036 Legacy Donating Member 280 Member For: 16y 6m 6d Gender: Male Posted 14/04/14 06:03 AM Posted 14/04/14 06:03 AM Mines factory t56. Its a mk2 ba and when I worked for ford I looked it up in the system and was definatly 6 speed for factory
