He says its running a GT42R (74mm)about 8 pound...is dedicated LPG..4 speed auto..runnin a tall 2.77 what do you reckon he should expect from it?? And being a week out any suggestions that he may consider??? Thanks in advance!! Last edited by Shelby1965; 30-04-2011 at 04:48 PM. |

How long is a piece of string?
Way to many blanks to fill in What power does it make and at what RPM How heavy is the car How tall are the tyres What stall convertor is in it When does the power come in How grippy are the tyres What suspension settings/mods are on the car How good can your mate drive As you can see there are a lot of different things that will affect what the car will run

I knew I would get that sort of response .... Waiting for a reply from him so I can shorten that piece of string !!!
Will be an education for both of us!!! He hasn't driven for years but used to run a Mid 10's TC 302 Cortina, Current ride is all stock apart from drive train... No susp mods as yet....Standard weight..... May grab some decent rubber to replace stockies ...Suggestions?? Cheers!! |
