Hey guys, i would just like to say that my car is back to normal without the boost controller installed.

I was running back to back 13.6 to 13.7 the whole night.
Till my last run was a 13.51 @ 103.37mph and a 2.02 60".
I had traction issues taking off, cos i had bold tires.
Not bad for cooler, exhaust and pod.

With a 2.02 60 foot I don't think you had issues! :-)

I get a feeling that our strip in WA is crap, Luke.

All these cars from over east with less work done to them pulling very similar times to the cars over here with some work done.. it cant be the driver can it? How hard is point and shoot?

LOL

Dude, don't blame the track. Definitely can't blame the surface, I think I have the best 60' on here for stock turbos, if the track was bad that wouldn't be possible.

I wasnt looking for an excuse to anything.

I just see a lot of people quoting mid 13's on essentually stock powered TT soarers, which is significantly better than anything i have seen in WA.

Drag racing is as much about mechanical grip as it is engine power. I used to race cars with less power to weight than my rotor but they hooked up very well. It can be very annoying.

Callum, with zorst, pod and cooler it isn't exactly stock powered, probably making 230-240hp in which case a 13.5/103 is perfectly reasonable. I don't see the problem?

Luke, They are Basic Mods. FMIC Zorst + Filter is bugger all mods. Considering they are Basic Bolt-On and require NO tuning.

Nice times Peter:-)

Thanks Daniel.
I just can't believe how crap HSV cars are.
My mate and i, in a skyline R33, with same mods as me were putting them to shame at calder park.
I ran a LS2 VZ clubsport, he had an edit, exhaust, extractors and a cold air and i left him standing.
297KW for nothing.
OMG they are so crap, everytime i see one i just feel like on them.

I wouldn't be so quick to generalise mate. Plenty of 12 second ls1's around with not too many mods.

I'm not bagging you mate, just pointing out to Callum that it isn't a stock car anymore so the times can be expected to be that quick.

Sigh here we go again. I suggest said LS2 was either being driven craply or not really trying. If your mates 33 had boost and a cooler, echoing your mods, then it probably ran mid 13s? The Clubbies run low 13s stock and as Chris pointed out, easy 12s.

IMHO r33 gts-t's are shocking cars in comparison to the VZ clubsport.

An LS2 with extractors, twin system with crossover, mafless edit, OTRCAI and a rocker upgrade will put at or close to 300rwkw to the ground. Combine that with a 3200rpm stall converter, shift kit and some slicks - it'll put a BPU 1JZ to shame in almost every way possible. Add a baby cam, valve springs and headwork - expect it to tick to the sound of over 330rwkw (~510hp).

A friend of mine has an LS1 with the described treatment and needless to say, its a fast machine worth respecting. Once you take an LS1 or LS2 to 90hp/L theres nothing else to say.
