AIR 13/4/13 r/t .425 60ft 2.147 660ft 8.390/89.54 1320ft 12.803/114.21.03 BA xr6t auto injectors 42lb,3"single exhaust(too small) CAPA replacement I/cooler,12lb actuator,new valve springs,SCT flash tuner tuned by Heinrich.290 rwkw

I ran my BA auto at AIR 2 wks ago in the street car bracket.5 passes besting with 12.803/114mph.All other passes were ruined by engine misfire @ top of 2nd gear and a lousy 60ft between 2.0 and 2.2.Once into 3rd it flew.Wish I could say stock,but not so-42lb injectors,CAPA intercooler (stock replacement),3"single exhaust (too small),flash tuner & dynoed by Heinrich @ 290rwkw..You've done a great job 12.6 I wish!congrats

Bruce Heinrich installed my Crows for $850 this week.

Looks like a trip to Heathcote to try out my latest mods.On Bruce's dyno as we speak.More to come..

I'd sure like to run in the 10's-$9000 for a BA? Sounds good to me so here we go!No friggin cage though...Probably won't matter anyway because AIR looks like failing.

so the 17th mar street meet is all over because of 28 entries.that's pathetic!

Hope the vine of grapes is wrong...looks like regional tracks will be doing ok then.

As we should know,there's a street meet on Mar 17.I'll be there with my BA Turbo.How many others?We need to support Rino otherwise once again we will have no drag racing in Adelaide...

As far as I"m concerned,stock means as you buy it off the showroom floor!Not ported turbo,not et radials,pump fuel not e85,just 98 ron.NO CHANGES FROM STANDARD.Interested to hear comments...

According to Bruce,turbo boost is 11psi,but can be increased to 15psi once better valve springs fitted.Track was marginal however,only dragged but not fully prepped.I was caught between going up in smoke off the line or stroking it and lighting up the tyres in 2nd gear.Is 88mph terminal speed good?

Yeah,auto.Thanx will add stally to the list of next projects.It is pretty sluggish of the line.

Thanks man,haven't seen the AIR calendar as yet,looking fwd to running 1/4 after all these years

Nope,drove up from Adelaide.Last time I ran Whyalla mid 70's 351w XY 8.28.

Yeah,I wish, M/T or Nitto street slicks next on the agenda along with new valve springs.Should add it made 274rwkw on Bruce's dyno.

Just raced my BA XR6T at "RACE YA MATES " at Steel City {Whyalla} 9th Feb.As we in SA are starved of a place to race because of AIR's continual problems,eighth mile racing is better than nothing.I ran a best of 8.655/88.58mph with a 2.208 60 ft.Obviously the 60 could be better and I'm wondering what I could do to improve.Specs-CAPA I/cooler,42 lb injectors,Plazmaman intake piping kit,3 1/2" dump into 3" single system,K&N panel filter & Heinrich tune.Kumho Ecsta 235/45 x 17 rubber @ 22psi.Pretty disappointed w/time although it was coming on strong at the finish.On a happier note it was a really good day and I certainly had fun.I should point out I am 64 years old and haven't raced since the late 1970's. Middle age crisis maybe? Whatever,I'll be back for sure,hopefully quicker and faster.A pat on the back to the staff and officials of Steel City Drag Club for a great day's racing,see you next time! ""
