  1. final update before I move on or add more mods 1000cc injectors walbro pump valve springs 12psi tune 6o' 1.96 1/8 mile 8.14 1/4 mile 12.54 112.63 mph
  2. umm what did you do to it today ? get it dirty ?
  3. hey legends, looking at options for a sh*t light for at the drags to help run more consistent times. I have wired up plenty of sh*tlights before on cars with old school distributer ignitions but have no clue how to hook one up on a BA. looked up holley sniper ones that plug into the OBD11 port but dont know if they will work on a Falcon ? what are others running and how are they hooked up ?
  4. sweet got a pic of what they look like ?
  5. hey guys what is everyone running for front runners ? want to go to a skinny tyre for the drags but what is out there that I can get my hands on BA XR6T ?
  6. how did you get on with the high stall ? mine with stock converter and 300kw runs 12.9
  7. update, due to coivd its been a year but I finally got her back on the track ran 12.9 @ 113mph really happy with that 113mph which really shows it has decent power. 60 foot still taxi slow @ 2.2 but the tune has been done to go gentle on rodney and his sister BTR down low.
  8. yeah not going there with the 200 shot those weak rods are probably only just holding on as it is. and yeah good point at 3000rpm I wont get any traction so 2500 it is. will be interesting to see what difference it makes in the 60 foot.
  9. well puff daddy I do have a 200 shot kit that's on my camaro that I could use
  10. ok before anyone jumps on this. yes simple answer is more power. here's where I am at BA turbo BTR trans 300 rwkw. has run a best of 12.8 qtr mile. thinking I am max KW on the old BTR so not looking to up the power. looking at other options to go a little quicker and with a best 60 foot of 2.2 thinking of going with a high stall. with stock converter wont stall past at best 2000rpm and is leaving on zero boost. would love to hear from others that have fitted a high stall in this situation and the results. only other thing will a 2500 stall be enough or should I opt for a 3000 ? want to try to push for a 12.5 qtr so a few tenth's off the 60 foot and it will run a 12.5.
  11. thanks mate. thought that would be the case but always good to see if anyone has done them and have some tricks
  12. today I failed in my first attempt to fit a sniper big pod swirl pot. pulled old pump and cradle out no problem so far. ok pulled the walbro pump out of cradle yep so far so good looked at sniper cradle ok whats wrong here ? pipes on top to fit fuel lines face side ways instead of to the front of the car. have beer think about it ok dumbass you can simply turn it. now im stuck new unit has them plastic flexable fuel hoses how the I heck do you fit them ? way to tight to push on. help anyone ?
  13. thanks yeah been looking at all options. Been doing this car on a budget for my daughter to race. so far including car purchase I am under 5k and have run a 12.8qtr. being in NZ we dont have the options that you guys have as freight over here on those kits kill it. I will pick up a intercooler over here then look at what options for the rest.
  14. yep that's the plan will probably put something together myself as those kits are pretty farking expensive
  15. dipped in the 300 club by the hair on my butt crack. mods walbro pump 1000cc injectors cat delete middle muffler delete
  16. For the valve springs if you are in Aussie then go with Crow. I am in NZ so went with Kelford. Either company is great. Be sure to support local business. I went with Kelford as they are made here. Been to the factory and seen them make springs and grind cams.
  17. She wasn't expected to live past her teens. Spent all of her life in and out of hospital and ended up passing away due to a twisted bowel. Yeah still a great deal and kind of feel I stole it. It is a weekend car. I drive it every weekend but have a company vehicle I drive during the week. Camaro is a 71 rs split bumper. I have owned it for 25 years.
  18. no not really a bargain mate. car has done 300k although for most of its life was owned by a tune shop and was used by the owners wife as her daily so well looked after and serviced regularly. I replaced diff bushes and pretty much every bush as well as done a couple of balljoints but she now rides like a new car. I paid 2k for it from a young guy who I helped out getting his chev powered ute up and running. Mine is also Phantom but no leather and also doing it for my kids to race as I have a Camaro that does low 12's. I also had a special needs daughter who passed away when she was 5 so I totally understand where you are coming from.
  19. I got quoted more that's why I did mine. Not as easy as people make out so your average guy would be nervous doing it. $1200 for my tune wish I could do that myself 😪
  20. trans was rebuilt a couple of years ago but other than that it is stock. yeah 13's are good and 13.2 I should be happy with considering only real mod is injectors but definitely potential there to run high 12's which for under 5k including the purchase price for the car is pretty dam good. $ 750 to install springs sounds about right as it took me a whole day to do myself. while apart I replaced everything. timing chain, tensioners etc for assurance but this will depend on how many k's yours has done. miss was sorted by closing the gap on the sparkplugs but real test will be on the dragstrip which unfortunately wont reopen till October. let us know how you get on after the tune etc
  21. unfortunately only got one run after tune but due to miss that it was getting I didnt take it back out ran 13.2 @ 109mph missing all the way down the qtr. have tested since taking back to tuner and is really going well but track dont open for months. will post times when it reopens
  22. be interesting to see what you think of them. I am pretty happy with Prestige. stock other than 1000cc injectors I got 300rwkw. had an issue after tune on the dragstrip of a miss under load called Chris and he said get in in asap and he will sort it. tested again on dyno first and all was good and in fact on the street giving it a beating it performed awesome. Chris then took it to a (closed road) for testing and then was able to notice the miss. you cant replicate that on the dyno. closed the gap on the plugs slightly problem sorted. These guys take pride in every tune they do and will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy.
  23. just got a ring from Chris good safe tune @13psi 300.7 kw will post up what I run at the drags in Masterton on the 20th
