Finally got her to the track - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

BENT 8 · 24-07-2008, 04:48 PM

I finally got a full pass in, full street trim minus the billets.
It wasnt without headaches, first pass i wasnt expecting it to lift so i backed off the stand ~10.60@130MPH, second pass was a non event forgot to put it back into 1st so ran the full track in third for a 12.65@79MPH, third pass the gremlins came back and it poped and farted from the start to the finish for a 10.48@127MPH

Only turned it to 7000 on the first pass, second pass wasnt sure not much maybe 6000, third pass it played up only turned to 6800 cause of the popping and farting.
