well it was a daily driver while he drove it down the strip. so i dont know if it was in street trim or not, i cant remember

From what i've heard, it used to be a daily driver, it's now trailered to the track..

hi, is this something you can just bolt on? or do you have to do some major work to your engine so it can handle it? $1200 seems cheap?

i wouldn't say MAJOR work, but there's some work so that ur engine lasts more than a month


centre oil pickup
centre main strap

are the two things he stressed to me, other than that it's best to have a recently reconditioned low compression engine and yes u just bolt it on, supply ur own hif44 carby, and bobs ur aunty.

i guess the more money u spend, the more u work u do, the safer it is for ur engine. To be more confident in higher revs u'd balance the engine so that it spins perfectly.
His standard pulley kit is a 7 psi pulley i think. that setup on a reasonable 1275 should be pulling mid to low 16's (easily) and a bit of head work 15's.


EDIT: with the setup i told him i was going to do:
metro A+ 1275
supercharger kit (10 psi)
lcb's
balanced bottom end
ported head (already have the big big valve head)
centre main strap
centre oil pickup
and a nice cam

he thought i'd be getting low 15's.

....and low tyre milage to match..... good stuff Mike!

brad ran 13.9

im sorry but respect!


PM me for the guys details for the supercharger kit.

yeah that is indeed in need of respect.... and it was his first run wasnt it? i mean his first time running a car down the 1/4...?

if so, that means he has an absolute awesome figure.... imagine if he could improve just by driving technique? maybe a 13.7 car? crazy....

(no offence intended if it sounded that way, god knows i couldnt better it at all)

boostedmini did a 14.? a while back. He said `traction was a problem' with his 13" wheels.

Am I right in thinking...

Dragstrip = bigger sidewalls and less tyre pressure

Yeah that's what he thought, so he bunged his 10x6 mags and A008s on. But now he's gone back to 13s I think..
Don't think he's run it on the strip since. Working on the motor...

ran a 14. something... thats pretty sweet in anyones opinion....
you reckon, if you had the rear quiet stiff so it didnt bug dwn in a launch it would give and better traction?
