Did you get to 400rwkw with factory valve springs and head studs? I was wondering how far I could have pushed mine.

Just standard motor and bolt ons.

Some guys define motor as stock, even if they changed valve springs, but that's an old argument.

I've also noticed that BF & FG ZF times have dropped around .1 to .3 since MT brought out their stickier tyre a couple of years ago, based on a general reduction in 60' times.

What?

So you're saying that times now for the same car would have dropped between 1 & 3 tenths due to tyre compound? Big claim to throw out there without any factual evidence...

Makes my 10.9 into a 10.6 though, seeing as it was run 2 or 3 seasons ago.

In response to lowfutura's question, yes you can achieve high 300's - low 400's with stock turbo on standard head studs & valve springs, it's all in the tuning & component selection.

Good breathing intake & exhaust system relieves alot of the pressure put on the springs & allows them to do their job properly, for a longer period of time.

Detonation is what causes your head to lift, so as long as you have a 'safe' tune with lots of room for error, you shouldn't get det & thus shouldn't have a head that lifts due to standard studs not being able to keep it down.

My F6 had low 400's on completely stock engine for 40,000kms before I sold it & it never missed a beat. Ran a good 300 passes at the drags & quite a few circuit days as well :spoton:

Man 300 passes, your 60 foot must have been down to 1.6 by that stage as your launch combo's would have been tried and true..
