Haha, no dieting is going to be goin on here, 110kg isn't on my stomach;o) 13 years at the gym can have that effect:P

Thanks Dave. I probably should have been more specific, I know it shuts the throttle, and that it does it later in second gear, I was just wondering perhaps if anyone had it down pat as to any specific steps or tricks, or if its just trial and error and a lucky pass.... I've heard of lower 1.9 60's, but like you said on the phone today, you don't think those are un chipped so to speak... Well, if I can fluke the perfect pass, I think its got a 12.99999 in it, but I'd say that's about it. If I wasn't such a heavy bastard at 110kg, it would prob help:P 6BOOST

13.2? As in 13.21, 13.28.... Do you have a timeslip?? And also what does it run now?? I presume by the 400rwkw dyno graph you mean its now the fastest in the country?? Regards................6BOOST

Hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before, I found info on the fastest stock Typhoon times, and few normal T's, but not in the ute section. Can someone either point me to a list if you have a link, or if not, can we please start a list here of the fastest dead stock times for both Tornado's and T utes?? So by stock, I mean stock exhaust, cooler, boost, tune, stock stock. Lets say only mods being a panel filter, as I would argue that it makes little difference on a stock T. Not worried about modfied times, just stock utes. What have you run guys??!! Regards.........................6BOOST

Hey guys, well, first off, don't crap on at me about the search function, I've spent at least 2 hours each on 3-4 occasions trying to find the answers without asking, but I simply can't get specific answers, so here it is. I purchased a new BF Tornado ute in Jan, and after a 7k run in, have started racing it before I start to modify it to get a baseline. The car is dead stock except for a k&n panel filter, which when I race it next time I'll replace with the stocker just to make sure the time is legit dead stock. Now I don't want to list what times its run, suffice to say its in the low 13's on stock 19's, although the 60 footers are really starting to give me the sh its!! I get no wheelspin or axletramp, but am having real issues with the 2nd to 1st stalling and trying to 60ft it quickly, I know if I cut a 1.90-1.95 60ft it will run a 12:) It runs anywhere from 2.29, down to my best tonight being a 1.998, which is getting close to on the money, but then next pass went 2.19, then 2.114, then 2.23, its just all over the place. Now I'm no dummy, I can drive a car, especially an auto, I have a corolla with a turbo 6 that runs 9.52@137mph with a 3 speed auto, and when we tune the factory computer in the F6, again, I'm sure I'll have no drama's with launching, but I'm up for some advise from experienced racers that have CONSISTANTLY cut under the 2 sec barrier to either spell it out word for word what to do, or at least point me in the right direction, as my car seems all over the show in terms of launching it trying to trick it from 2nd to first. Anyway I know I'm on the right track, of 10 passes, I have 1x 1.998, 3 in the 2.0's and 3 in the 2.1's, but I'd really appreciate any help from you faster guys that have done it before you tuned and give us the heads up so I can stop thrashin the stocker and move onto a tune:) An no, I am not going to just tune it till I cut a really good 60, then I know its cut its best time. Cheers...........................6BOOST

Nice car mate. Question though, has the turbo been changed since the photo's were taken?? I seen someone mention a TO4Z, but that turbo has a GT35 rear housing. Just wondering whats been done in the turbo department as you didn' say. Regards.....................6BOOST

Altho not having done back to back testing on a ford twin cam yet, I have recently done some testing on a RB26/30 drift car I sponser, and previously we had a GT35 with a 1.06 rear fitted to the car. After switching to a split manifold to go with the TO4Z, with a .84 rear(similar to a GT35 1.06 in size) the turbo makes full boost at the exact same RPM as the GT35 and makes the same power on 4psi less boost with 6 degrees less timing. We are hoping for another 50rwkw on the same boost as previously and timing brought back up. I'll keep you all posted in a few months, I'll be doing a TO4Z on my new tornado ute after I finish development of the factory turbo and manifold. 6BOOST

If by 700hp you mean its a garrett GT35, then I don't know what someone has done with your setup, but it doesn't get much better, on a well designed exhaust manifold, they make 25psi of boost by 2300rpm, it doesn'y comeany faster than that. Do you know what exact turbo you have?? Any pics and spec of the setup?? I could possibly be something else, not that turbo that is creating your lag. 6BOOST

I spoke to my dealer today, funnily enough the flat one is dearer as the one with the bulge although being $400 dearer to begin with, comes painted from ford. The flat one they have to paint which would be $500 extra making it $100 more... Decisions decisons. Anyway, I'll stop thread hyjacking and start another. Thanks guys:)

Is the flat tonneau the factory ford item?? I have just purchased an ego tornado with the same options as yours but it was the last in the country and has a soft tonneau so I would like to fit a hard cover, the only ones I have seen is the gay ones with the roll bars and the ones with the hump behind the window, not flat ones. Appreciate your feedback, and hot looking ute mate;) 6BOOST
