Last night at AIR

stockstandard · 17-04-2005, 03:12 PM

Last night I finally took the EF for a run down the 1/4 at AIR. I am happy with the better that expected results (it was my first time out as well)

1st run - 15.0 @ 91.3
2nd run - 14.8 @ 94.94
3rd run - 14.9 @ 93.8
4th run - 14.8 @ 91.3

Aside from the 1st run when I didnt really know what I was doing the launches were clean enough but I had to hold back big time so I didnt light up the rears . 60 foot times were 2.4's.

Here are a few movs of the runs thanks to Grants camera work and editing (each are around 2MB).

)

Dont sell your self short mate. You had 2.2 60's.

Damn good MPH there 95mph, showing some genuine BHP there!! I think the chiptorque helps a hell of alot. Your 95mph vs my 89mph with the same induction/exhaust/cam package!! (your head is ported but i think its the chiptorque at work).

oh yeah, get a 3.7:1 LSD!!

that's a great time. Well done.

stockstandard · 17-04-2005, 03:34 PM

yeah, but on the 2.2 runs I was shifting all over the place and lost the advantage on the run so they ended up slightly slower ET's. I found it really hard to concentrate on the shift points for some reason. Ill get myself a shift light before next run so I dont have to think on the track.

edit: oh yeah - and I need that LSD

EFFalcon · 17-04-2005, 03:48 PM

damn good times with the 3.08

should be some hefty gains with decent diff gearing.

Kenaz · 17-04-2005, 05:27 PM

Great Stuff! Some nice times there and a good mph. With more practice you'll see the those ETs tumble ;)

BA GT-HO · 17-04-2005, 05:38 PM

Thats damn fine 60 foot times, the old mans turbo was gettin 2.3 and 2.4s!

Well done stock, great time especially for a first attempt! Cheers for the vids too.

stockstandard · 18-04-2005, 02:05 PM

Thanks for the comments everyone. It was a good feeling to realise the potential of the car after building the engine up from a bare block (first engine I have built too). Im looking forward to seeing what is left in it when I have a good diff and more practice.

Walkinshaw · 18-04-2005, 02:39 PM

95mph is the key to the equation. The motor is up to the task no worries. Jam a 3.7:1 LSD under the back and watch the sun 14.5's roll in. Start cutting 1.9 lights and you will be in business.

4.9 EF Futura · 19-04-2005, 09:43 AM

Great times mate, i'd be stoked with that.

I'm gonna have to get out there sooner or later...

kaeser_sosae · 19-04-2005, 10:08 AM

ROFL @ Crazy Frog :P

INJECTED_250 · 19-04-2005, 09:48 PM

Great work there..... goes to show the T5's and falcon sixes are ment for each other.. Nice mph there 2 :>

FPVWEPN · 20-04-2005, 01:53 PM

walkinshaw i think its more to do with the fact that he has a manual rather than a chiptorque chip

EFFalcon · 20-04-2005, 01:57 PM

FPVWEPN: he's talkin about the MPH, which should be fairly similar, only thing effecting it massively would be the chip.

chelvdog · 21-04-2005, 11:49 AM

Hey Stockstandard, I nearly made it to AIR on the w/end but had a slight inconvenience along the way (see other thread) It woulda been good to see you run and maybe run against you! You'll probably whip my ***, but I just love running down the1/4. Maybe next time.......

stockstandard · 21-04-2005, 01:06 PM

It would have been good to run against something I had a chance against. 3 of the 4 cars I races were sub 12s cars and the other was a gen3 :(

What time were you expecting?

Really sux to hear about your injuries and car.

chelvdog · 21-04-2005, 03:29 PM

At the moment I just hope the car comes back looking OK! As for times, I have NFI, any idea for 127rwkw, 4spd auto & 3.45 LSD?

Walkinshaw · 21-04-2005, 05:25 PM

Chelvdog, similar to Chris' car and he was running 15.8's and one 15.7.

eed-250 · 21-04-2005, 05:53 PM

nice work mate.
ur 60 foot is shocking. if u can sort ya shit out and have a good run with a 2.2 foot ull be going alot fastER!\

3.9s and a spool and ull be cutting 14.3;s i reckon
im so envious of ur mph

Walkinshaw · 21-04-2005, 07:24 PM

He did cut 2.2's. With a decent diff and more tyres 1.9 60's are possable

My old XW ran 12.4's, so that's a little disappointing! I think some headwork and maybe turbo conversion are in order once I get the car back! I've got some time to plan it, so maybe one day I will be turbo'd. It's good to have a forum like this, to learn from other people's mistakes and find what really works! :dr_Evil:
