motor bike shops... prob not the cheapest place, but atleast you can trial fit and see what size head you got.. then search up ebay for a cheapy 2nd hand one, i thought i had a big head but i managed to squeeze it into a medium!

[beeza]

Yeah,like places that sells scooters are cheap too.

[Lukezen27]

OK guys lets all pray for good weather on Wed..

Need to get those 60ft down and you'll net better results

[SHW.70Y]

def 2.1/2.2 sixtys and u will be in the super low 14s with the right track temp and right sixty foot a high 13 is not out of the question

[Lukezen27]

Any 13 is what I'm after lol

My cars very heavy though with the body kit so that will never help


Need to get those 60ft down and you'll net better results

Yeah lol need LSD

[Benson]

i do 1.8 60ft on no LSD with the slicks

Im sure you can get 2.1 or 2.2 without the LSD on the street tyres

[rayb3na_]

i can =p

[Lukezen27]

Funny thing is, my take-offs feel far better last night than any other time yet they were slower

Are you runing a traction bar with that 60" Benson?

[Benson]

yes im running traction bar... only helps with slicks

I have one lined up already :thumbsup:

Just waiting on the funds to build up again after the drain of Christmas

[Limbo]

lol i'm getting one built soon also!

[Lukezen27]

Guys

This time round I revved to 7500 each gear change to stay in boost a bit longer but last times out I only revved to where the cam stopped making power 6800-7000

What's better?

[Limbo]

wat was the result?
I'd stay in boost, what's the cutout?

[Lukezen27]

wat was the result?
I'd stay in boost, what's the cutout?

who knows what the fuel cut off is as I've never hit it lol

And I've revved pass 8K before by mistake..

My red line is 7200 ;)

[delsol9000rpms]

nah make sure you stay in boost.. much better... it will pull through the gears much better

also it would probably be better if you stretch first gear out a lil longer so you can get off the line quicker if you get what i mean

[Lukezen27]
