Well done Brad, man these results are coming on thick and fast.

**Chris** · 04-06-2005, 12:55 AM

What a surreal evening - I have to give comiserations to Brad - XR8888, as I drove his car on the 13.28 pass and forgot 4th gear, howling on the limiter across the line........... This car has a high teen in it easy.

THEN, I grabbed my helmet and rushed to daves car (after being almost raped by Brad) and after a 3rd gear burnout, went 13.15.

I was so stoked I forgot to slow down.......thank god for premium brakes!!

Then, I had to run a number in my own car, went a 13.46, bettering my calder PB of 13.50. (exhaust is going on this week!!)

I was happiest to have met Brad this week, and have a ball with these two guys whom I class as great mates with whom I have high regard. If you line up against them at the AFF day..........

Be careful. especially that red one.

Well done boys.

Mate be good to see what she can do with a exaust seems to be getting a stock pile knockin on the 12 second door.

GT 8888 · 04-06-2005, 01:09 AM

What a great night ( nothing broken which is always good). Congrats to Dave for the record...that car of yours is a rocket ship.

As for my car, 13.51 was a PB for me which I was delighted to get. Car also ran a PB of 13.28 with Chris hitting the limiter over the line....obviously he needs some lessons on how to steer a car !!!

I was over the moon when Chris ran the time...mate a fair bit has happened this week and you deserve all the credit for both mine and Daves car.....I don't think I've ever met someone so passionate about these cars...to be honest I can't speak more highly of you.

Thanks for the pizza and beer the other night.....your dog rocks and so does your tune !!

Bluepower and Xtreme....thanks.

Until Heathcote...

Brad

Xtreme F6 · 04-06-2005, 01:19 AM

Congrats guys, youve done the Edit proud. Brad shame mate, I have a feeling your car will be in that elusive 12 second bracket soon.

Hey guys, all of you who have taken the step forward and put faith in myself and chris to edit your cars, thanks for the trust in letting us show you what we can do with the right tools

Well done to all invloved, Simon & Chris sure know how to get these Boss powered cars moving in hurry. All their Tooning is paying off and the results are speaking for themselfs.

Now it's a race to see who's going to be the 2nd into the 12 second zone.

Hi Leigh, If Dave could get a half desent Hi Stall in that ute, i bet it would be him..
A 1.8 to 1.9, 60 footer would see him there..
Dave what is your best 60 foot?

SLY XR8 · 04-06-2005, 03:20 AM

Mark on street tyers its 2.045 and tonight was a 2.003

SLY XR8 · 04-06-2005, 04:15 AM

Well in all the hyp i forgot to say well done to Brad on a pb for you and the car.

And well I think that 15 min Power nap of Chris's help him in my car, maybe need his donut so he didn't hit the limiter in third for your run.

Everyone will want an auto now Won't they Orsm

Well done to all. Sounds like it was a great night. Keep up the great work.
Looks like July 16th is going to be huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers............Kev

PhantomXR8 · 04-06-2005, 09:48 AM

Excellent works guys, the tuners and drivers! It was just a matter of time, there's lots of little things that will get the N/A Boss 260 into the 12's, just like the LS1 SS Commodores. Everyone's starting to work it all out now, the Boss 260 will pull back those LS1 SS times. The great part is that there is long list of Boss 260's lining up! Melbourne is really the place to be, Sydney has been dead for Boss 260 stuff, should pick up soon though. I wish there were a lot of similarly modded BA XR8's at WSID early in the year. It felt pretty lonely up here then, nobody to exchange ideas with ETC, keep up the great work.

Hi Simon Headers and zorst won't give u much anyway,i actually lost power on my set-up. The zorst on our Boss motors standard is pretty good.I still point it down to hook up as Mph in most of the BOSS powered cars is similiar.I think someone there last night was on the M/T street radials which i think is why the times are getting better.Regardless good times all round but still should think on a Drag type tyre these cars should be in the 12's i suppose when a few more products hit the market there may be some better times.

That was my car on the Mickeys, I was going to try them on sly's car but the rotating weight is unbelievebly heavy, as XRFPV8 will tell you.

I dont think launch even comes into it, Kev is so far in front of everyone elso for the launch with a 1.8, he needs a tyre for a launch like that, no one else can match his launch. Anyhow, we found more power in sly's car this week, so I reckon a 13.2 with an SP9000 is only a meet away. Running a 13.15 with a 2.00 60ft should tell the story.

Mate if you lost power with headers and cats then your car has a problem, If i retuned GTP-738's carw ith headers and cats and re run it it would run 110 mph and drop atleast one and half tenths. As for the times? a 13.15 out of a XR8 260 auto........ Thats only the quickest auto bu nearly 4 tenths... thats alot. Dont worry mate, there will be a 260 runing 12's soon, and some 290's there aswell. We only have 3 records left to beat, the "manual" 260, the 290 N/A and of course the last one ;)
