working with your tuner, you should be able to set this up to suit your combo, and should make the manual cars more consistent, especially turbos.

you can set it anywhere from 2000 - 18000 rpm.

(should be fun for auto's too.)
Chris i had that on my old tune but got you know who to take it off as it was a bugger to do a burnout, it was set at 4000rpm. if you hit it hard the revs would die with a delay before you could get them back up again.

How many rwkw's do you have?
What was the trick to getting your 60' time. I am guessing tyres.

I ran at calder Jul 22 on my 18" Maxxis street tyres and couldnt better 2.2 for the 60'. They are a harder compund tyre and difficult to get heat into
(The burnout featured on fullboost was embarrassing)

Cheers,

Hey luke,

I have around 240-245rwkw in race trim (98 octane tune, 80mm throttle body) Car weighs 1820 dry without me in it.

AND i reckon the trick in an auto car is a good tyre. Just by putting a slick on my 60 dropped from a 1.98 average to a 1.88 best. The BA being heavy i believe benefits bigtime from weight transfer.

your car will do a 1.8-1.7 60 on its ear with slicks, high 1.8 mid 1.9 on drag radials, like a MT ET street.

Cheers Chris, I think my tyres, while brand new, are going to have to go. I cant stall over 2000rpm or the wheelspin is crazy. Its so frustrating.

Guy's we dont want to turn this thread into a Ford Vs Holden.
OLS108 you have only added LS1 comments into this thread.
Lets call it one all, steady the ship and now we will keep on topic.
