Using an 1/8th to 1/4 calculator that works out to 15.3@89.28. Bout what you would expect from a tired 302 with 2.92 final drive. Good to see your out there having a go, put a spring on your dipstick to hold it down and check your breather and pcv.

Racing in an open day at the local 1/8 in a few weeks with the F6 ute for some practice. Only raced once before in my 5.0 ute. I'll have 245/35R19street tyres so not expecting much in the way of traction. The ute drives pretty factory. A few mods and a tune but no change in gear ratios.
Any advice for racing a turbo besides just planting it? I was thinking of launching in 2nd may decrease the chances of losing too much traction at the lights.
