hmm, sorry to hear... you would think all your mods are textbook mods to make a falcon go harder?!!

maybe go back to a stock tickford head, smaller cam like a 1673 or 977b, change the diff ratio to 3.7's to give it broader gearing for the 400m, 2500-2800rpm stall and get a custom tune.

thats all the ideas i can come up with? Good luck with it anyway dude, Willowbank has pissed me off everytime ive went there to !! :)

btw, what time did you run, 60 foot times, what were the track temps etc. etc.

2.336 60ft
37 deg track temp
14.901
only 95mph

nahhh ill just get it properly tuned and 3500 stally (the cam starts pulling at 3500) because it was BOGGING off the mark badly, what would happen... i would drive around the water try and launch and spin like a mother fucker for ages... or id do a skid and it bogged down.

also maybe a proper tune and not mine? i dunno....

i wouldnt undo all the work ive done. Purely even for the fact that i love the idle and the exhaust note lol

anything under 15.0 in an auto eseries is a win in my books !!

they say every 1/10th you shave off your 60 footer, will equal 2/10ths down the end of the track. So if you can knock that 60footer down to 2.1, youve got an easy 14.5 as it is now !!

It was just really slow to 60 and to fucken hot.... i blame some of it on that after its properly tuned with a stally hopefully it will go harder.

if you got wheelspin problems now, after the 3500rpm stall you will be melting tyres fo' sure

when you get the stallie, i wouldnt bother going down again unless your running slicks !!

95mph is pretty good. If you can get it off the line around 2.0 you should be good for a low-mid 14 man. I wouldn't be too upset about that haha

Yeah my EA ran a 14.4 @ 90MPH so if you can get it to launch u will get low 14's although with a good dyno tune it will properly help it
