60 ft times in N/A 4L

[Grechie]

Hey Guys

Just wondering what 60 ft times you guys have gotten in your N/A i6's before as im pushing 1.9, and needa know if its realistic with better rubber if it can go any better, ie 1.8, 1.7 ?

Cheers

I've been doing 1.9's with cheap chinese 17" tyres. I let them down to 18psi, and do a good skid in the dry

[oneredED]

I got a 2.0 60' in my ED, with 235/45/17 GSD3 tyres @ ~36psi. 3.08 diff gears, minispool, 3-4 second burnout in 2nd rolling from the wet to dry, sidestep off clutch from 4000rpm at Heathcote. This was on the way to a 17.1 second quarter at full noise too (98rwkw).

Surely yours has better than a 1.9 in it!

Samftr - 1.9 with an EA T5 and 3.08 open centre, EF with a catback

1.9s on street tyres in my EB XR when it was N/A.

Best of 1.9 here with my old EF with Wanli's, with good tyres and a clutch that'll grip I reckon you could bring it down to 1.8 with heaps of revs, I dunno about a 1.7 though...that's a pretty damn quick launch for a NA6

[FordFairmont]

grechie didnt you already run slicks for the 13.7 pass?..... dunno how much your gonna improve on that, awesome time!!

[OED666]

I had wanli's for my 13.8... Haha I've got some
on my new wheels, so hopefully I can repeat my time

[BROCKYB8]

In get 1.9 and 2.0 on most of my runs.
Just have some other issues at the mo to get through b4 i can do a good time
14.2 is my best

I wouldnt call it a slick, it was a 205/65/r15 semi slick that looked like a road tyre (tred and all) and it still wheel spun when running 18psi off the line, it just wasnt a good enough tyre, as you can see, members here are runnign same on street tyres.

I know have a 275 micky thompson, and it looks beefy, hoping if i dont blow anything, to get a 1.8 at least.

I used to do 1.8's most of the time and if I remember correctly I did a 1.7, I had 3:4:5 LSD, EL T5 with 16" wheels low pressure. I'm sure the bigger the burnout the better the 60Ft. If i can find the slips ill scan them but they are probably 4 yrs old now.

[Ef_frmnt]

did a 1.8 in my old car with 3000 stall and 3.9 gears.

[TheMonty]

2.19 in an AU auto.
2500 stall, big cam that doesnt make peak torque till 3500, so bad combo.
Slicks on 20psi and 3.9 gears. Just bogs down and doesnt go anywhere.
Also after the report from the auto shop today, the Au doesnt seem to like the slicks. Tailshaft, yoke, extension housing bush and seal all dead.

nice vid man!

[FordFairmont]

[TheMonty]

Find me the parts and someone to do it, and I will. Until then, Ill just live with it, very easy to work out my speeds.

[FordFairmont]

jaycar sell a speedo corrector kit unassembled, or shiftkits.com.au sell one ready to fit

My nl fairlane got a 2.166 60ft time on 205/65/15 street tyres with 25psi bout 2,000rpm launch
This is what i got with my 15.421@ 143km/h pass
wonder how i'll go with my 235/60/16's n more revs

[_JP_]

i ran consistent 2.0 in my El xr6 t5 3.45's and a exhuast on 225/50/r16 on 30psi never ran any better then 15.4 at 89.5mph
