60' was 1.67 & half track speed was 100mph mate.
Found out the cat was blocked when we got it home & used the heat gun. Replaced it with a new 5" SMB unit ready for next Wednesday!

Wow 11.01 with a blocked cat. Cant wait to see how it goes with the new cat in.

Bring on the 10's Dean.

It would be good to see how much better your car goes now that the Catalyitic converter has been removed and the car retuned to take advantage of the extra exhaust flow.

Is Brett full time at Monsta Torque now? I thought he would be just doing a bit of part time work considering how full his days must be holding down his 8-5 job around the corner.

No cat? Come down Wednesday & check under the car if you wish...
The only drag day on today was the Hi Tech Titles & i was there as a matter of fact. I was in the stands taking photo's as i had a few mates racing.
Yea Brett's still at WT as you know. Rob's also still working his 9-5 so this result is all the more impressive, huh? Two 'backyard' tuners who do this type of work in their R&R time are about to snag the record for quickest F6 in WA, possibly AUS & it is still unopened plus it utilises the factory turbocharger

:
I'm glad to see you're so interested in Monsta Torque & it's business. Means they are being noticed for their great work, even by their competitor workshops & said workshops customers!

Fair enough, I had been told that your Cat failed on Friday and that Monsta Torque had retuned it on Saturday so that you could go racing again at the private track day. I was expecting you to say you had run a 10 when you posted in here yesterday. I was misinformed I guess.

I would expect nothing less, Phil's result in his Bionic Auto was set years ago after about 12-15 passes with what would be considered "second rate" components by todays standards. Your car should be running faster (much) as you have access to more developed parts and you have done a LOT more passes, so it's an expected result............ 10.80's are a long way off, but you seem very keen and determined to get there. More power to you and good on ya.

However I am surprised that you call Monsta Torque "backyard" tuners. These guys must have some idea of what they are doing, and if I was either of them I would not like to be called a backyarder. Just beacuse they are part time does not mean that they dont put a lot of effort into their work.

My cat did fail, but it was replaced Saturday morning.
Whoever's spinning webs should get their facts straight or even better, stay out of my business. Why the need for everyone to sit around & make up stories like my nanna does in her sewing group?

Second rate components?
I believe that myself & PW both ran/run Nizpro stage II kits with SMB exhausts... If his is second rate gear then mine must be as well.
I'm sure Simon would love to hear how his gear is second rate on an open forum

Quit with the games would ya?
You know what i'm referring to... It's a certain few low lifes that call Monsta Torque 'backyard' in order to snag more business for themselves or their tuner. Results speak for themself so there's no harm being done to MT's reputation imo.
Also, customer service goes a long way in any industry. MT has this hands down over any competitor...

Any other opinions not related to my 11.010 run or the other previous runs in this thread, please either take it to pm or waffle on about it in your own thread.

Thanks, Dean.

Good work Dean!

Can't wait to see a 10.

Thanks Justin

Tocchi · 22-04-2009, 06:03 PM

wow, thats fast... my parents are looking at modifying their '06 BF F6... but its manual.

so CAT600/03XR6T, is the nizpro stage 2 gear good or bad?

cos even though those cars ran fast times, im not too sure my dad would want "2nd rate components" on his fpv.
is there any decent F6/XR6T kits on the market he can look at?

Xtreme F6 · 22-04-2009, 07:10 PM

Hey Tocchi, I think you will find that CAT600 wasnt implying that the gear was second rate as such, he was saying that the gear now in comparison is better gear making the older stuff by comparison second rate. I wouldnt say its second rate just not as good as whats on offer now. When we did Phils old BF F6 a couple of years ago it was with Nizpro's original tube and fin coolers with the original factory hot side pipes, Nizpro's old throttle body adaptor ect. I think that at this time, right now, there stuff is the best. When something better comes along, Thats what guy's like myself will use.

03XR6T · 23-04-2009, 01:24 PM

Throttle body reducers haven't changed have they? If they have, it can't of been a big change as all they are is a cast piece of ally that goes from 3" to 2.5" or whatever size it is with a mount for the MAP sensor.
Better quality now you say Simon? I would have to disagree with that after recieving my stage II kit & being EXTREMELY disappointed. You would know as i'm sure the email that listed everything that a $7k+ kit shouldn't have wrong with it was sent to you along with Simon G??
The China casting quality would be a huge disadvantage in comparison to 'old school' plenums & coolers imo as airflow/direction would be hindered. This is only MY opinion though, in response to yours & Otway's opinions. If the achievement has to be chalked up as using better parts than yourself then so be it... I ran a 10.97 @ 128.5mph last night with full weight, full tank of fuel, lowered suspension, unopened engine, standard turbo, standard diff gears (not 4.10's as per Phil's Bionic F6) and a lazy 1.75 sixty footer due to poor track conditions.

Thanks.

Incorrect, Obviously with the new BIG BIG options that are now available it couldnt be the same size could it. (Also cast in Australia)

Actually Dean i never recieved any email from yourself or Rob to do with the quality of the kit as the kit was bought from Capa and not myself. Had it been bought through me and the correct chanels it would have had any problems rectified straight away.

Again your incorrect on facts specialy to do with Phils cars but thats ok im used to it. Phils car never had 4.1's it actually had the diff gears out of his old GT after we stuffed the diff. (3.45). To that it also had a dead stock turbo, no actuator nothing, Stock exhaust, stock gear box, The old style cooler, the new one is a definate improvment over the old one. Plenums ect are all still made in Australia. The cooler tanks are cast over sea's, Thats it...

Speaking of flow, I flow tested the new coolers over the old, There was no comparison so incorrect again.

Its always great seeing cars running fast with product that I sell and have been for some time now.

The only time I am focused on as far as records go is Marks.

Good effort Rob, Dean and Adrian have done well.
