Expected 1/4 Mile With New Power?

[needfordspeed]

YEP .Doogstar is a legend.He is the only auto six na into the 13's .Also there are a few e series fords into the 13's in na form all are manuals. No normally aspirated AU that I have heard of has posted a 13.9 or better so far.Best is around 14.1..hopefully some more of us will be getting there this winter.My car with me in it weighs 1760 kgs..so its about the same as the ute.

It is my dream to hit the 13's ..but whats more..in a ford au station wagon. Dont know if it will happen but I am sure gonna try.Even a better pb will be nice:)

7 car lengths has been against supercharged v6's to a legal 80kmph.

I don't see why it shouldn't run a very low 14 or high 13 if it's genuinly got 170rwkw, I'll be watching this with interested, I also want to get into the 13's but it's damn hard with a NA 6 falcon!

It ran 2 14.5's in July guys.It ended on a dyno a month later and showed 141 rwkws with 10.5 to 1 air fuel ratios. Something has been wrong and I am sorting it out. The auto was slipping and has since been replaced.The diff was single spinning again and so I went to a different workshop got it done again. A 14.5 from a na au station wagon is not too bad with 141 rwkws...maybe next time heheh

Even so its been a good year for this hobby..reaction time money was a big bonus

long time between posts mate. When do you expect to hit the quarter again?

[useless]

Yer I read back over it and realised I promised to keep people up to date and so I did. I dont know when I will go to the track. Other priorities have come into play.Lets just say my business opposition better invest in alot of vaseline.

I would like to crack a mid 13 second pass one day but the constant payment of doing things twice by the pseudo experts has set me back lot.

If people have issues with each other, this forum is not the place to vent crap.

I hope I didnt come across as venting crap.I have redone my diff 3 times in 2 years ..this is a statement of fact. My gearbox is the 3rd in as many years. This time its toughened up.I am on my 4th power steering rack and third pump. I had finally decided to buy new or as close to new parts as possible. Its been running thank god.

Good work STAV , but I hope you dont give it up entirely - that wagon of yours would make an awesome street fighter up here .......
