Devils Advocate:

Is it possible, if people make too much of a stir and the issue becomes too public. They may be concerned about making a decision that appears to the uneducated as them skimping on safety?

Ant

PS: Just a concern, would love to make it more affordable and easier to access. Would be a dream of mine to get down the 1/4 mile in a competition.

Shouldn't matter what tune you use for the track or street, some guys don't have e85 readily available to use daily, the point we are trying to make is that it is very easy for a modern day falcon to run a 10 when the correct mods are done.

What makes it even more impressive is it is achievable with bolt on mods on unopened engines.

ANDRA need to realise that a budget of $10,000 or less in some cases can get you a 10 sec pass, meaning technically you can no longer race without a cage.

I had a fg f6 with only cat pipe,cooler pipes,fuel pump, injectors, v8 air box,sct with e85 daily driver tune

and ran an 11.02 (with only 4lbs of the line)

All up cost me $4700 including the et streets.

On the second run after I had done the 11.02, I twisted the tailshaft.(I am sure I would of got that <10.99 with in the next few passes)

I ended up not racing or spending any more money on that car because I knew as soon as I got that <10.99 its racing days were over.

That $4700 also included valve springs and retainers.No labour costs as I fitted all the parts myself.

You can run 11.000 all day everyday and you do not need a cage.

We need to put through examples of cars that have run 10.999 or lower who now require a cage to run at WSID.

I think it would be possible to run a 10 with a euro 4 FG F6 for under 4g (charged at a retail rate, not inc price of slicks) for someone willing to push it on E85

Can you break it down for us possum?

Seems too good to be true

Has to be a Euro 4 FG F6 ZF 6Spd

Xcal3 & tune on E85 $1850

F6 high flow injectors $695

Surge Tank supplied and fitted $1350

Removal of the restrictor ring behind the euro 4 cat

Pushed hard should make close to 380 at the tyres on Nizpro dyno and be capable of a 10 in competent hands

Obviously slicks and wheels to suit would be additional cost and doesnt factor in breaking anything at the track

Ill say 5k is what you need and a major combination of below

Cooler

Surge

Fuel reg

High flow cat

Airbox

Injectors

Tune and xcal

ActUator

Valves springs

Make that 6k

How u going on this matty ?
