You get that when not using the straps. Seriously what monkeys did you let touch your car? worst thing is how many people are on the other side of that dyno fan............I guess they were lucky, haha

Nice work Mish. The fullboost feature was great to watch too. Pity about some of the dead-head comments on the video. eg, when I put my LS in my KE, w@nk, w@nk, w@nk lol

So today i thought id try out the straight line stuff, went to a not so local test and tune day out at Heathcote Raceway. The day was very busy and with racing only run for 4 hours i only managed to just get 4 runs in, best of the day was a 12.86 @116.3mph my 60 ft times were all horrible best being a 2.20sec All in all it was a successful day, i now know what i need to do to improve the car if i wish to and i was able to not break anything which was good considering it was a 250km round trip.

Good stuff. That's a kick ass time and to be expected from your power output. What changes would you make to the car?

Was a little disapointed with the times to be honest, thought it had enough in it for a low 12 pass but wasnt ment to be.
The main thing i will be doing is installing a line lock or a brake hold system so that i can get a decent burnout going, was really stuggling with that side of things due to lack of experience and too much of a well set up brake bias. I think getting the slicks hotter would drop my 60ft times a bit

Burnout does make a big difference. Apart from getting slicks hot you may have to play around with tyre pressures to work out what setting works best, slicks can bog down with wrong pressure. Len
