It has Dean, but I was going for a 9..... it was not to be with the changes I made to the rear end (different springs), My thoughts were that going from a 3.25:1 ratio at Heathcote to a 4.11 here would need more tyre, but with the rear end bouncing the wider rubber I ran (10.5", up from a 9" tyre) was ineffective.

Next time out I'll run the old springs (lower and harder) with both tyres and see what happens

For those that dont know the car:

5.0L Modular 4 Valve

2.8H LC Kenne Bell

E85 fuel

T56 with PPG heavy duty gearset

Final Drive 9" 4.11 ratio

10.5 x 28.0" tyre (still spins them hahah)

4,240 lb with driver as raced

VIDEO'S:

Car actually ran the exact same time twice... 10.111 @ 140.62!

TIMESLIP'S:

If you're wondering about the flames on shift/launch,
I
shift gear at 7300 but there is a 2 step rev limit at 6000 when the clutch is depressed to shift gear at WOT

Good for a laugh if nothing else!

Finally got the ute down to the plex tonight, new PB 10.21 @136.15mph, 1.588 60fter :) Congrats to Dan 10.1 in his AU and Mick in his BF 11.1 will go 10's with a better 60ft :)

Cheers and great time from your ute, was good to meet you as well, Simon has mentioned your car a few times but I had the two blue utes mixed up in my head....

Just need a Ford vs Expensive Daewoo track day organised Between Simon and Eddy and we'll be set!

Nice pics mate when did you get the GT40 wheels??

Went to the air show today. Mind=Blown Traffic=Balls. Took 3hrs (yes three hours) to get out of the carpark and onto great northern highway. Three hours crawling pace in a manual car with a twin plate=left leg like Arny

Was a great day tho!
