Always seems to be out by 2 degrees.
I always carry spares to the track, I have Porsche 930 cv’s now which are holding up well, stubs are twisting though lol.

Give us a heads up next time you are deciding to go to Sydney dragway, I’m due to run again.

Yeah planning on going to the apsa final

A customer cancelled  a tune on the weekend so took the opportunity

to put my car on the dyno just to fine tune the wot.

Ended up with 293 rwkw at 6700. (mainline 4wd dyno)

It prob had a lil more in it  as the cam rpm range is to 7200 but didn’t feel the need

to push it.

Not bad considering it has a 4500 stall and turbo 400.

Car feels very strong and sounds it.

Dyno video is on the commodore plus facebook page.

Good result. Would have thought it would RPM 7500 with that cam.

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

I’m sure it will go 7200+ but don’t know if I want to push it that hard.

Iv’e hit 7000 rpm really easy a few times.

The new tce converter locks up better and rpm is lower going through the traps.

With the 219/235 it did 6700 crossing the line. mph is better.

The old slippery converter and 231/247 cam it did 7000 n/a and  7200 on nitrous.

Might up the limit to 7200 and shift at 7000rpm see what it likes.

Looking forward to giving it a run.

Been a while since I updated.

Installed some rear koni adjustable shocks which

has really made a big improvement,axle tramp is gone and launches much better.

Just did a new pb last wed night at wsid 10.6 129mph still more in it too.

Looking to make a few changes my aim is to make some more changes

and run a 200 hp shot to get into the 9s.

Awesome work mate

[MichaelParticipant VY Calais 383ci GT42 turbo. View build HERE Member since: March 2, 2015 Posts: 208]

What wheel/tyre, suspension setup are you using?

My mate has a 402ci 13:1cr on e85 with t400 and 5000 stall and tells me he has trouble getting it to hook.

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

I hear that a lot. I’m having issues atm my reworked converter is stalling too low about 3500

so going to have that fixed.

Was meant to be 4500 but no where near it.

Suspension is fe2 all round, 90/10s up front koni yellows rear

275/50/15 drag radials.

I had a lot of issues try too hook up especially on nitrous the

shocks and 275s helped a lot.

Get mark to sort your converter 👍

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

Will do mate.

It ran a 10.4 131mph so some fine tuning and getting the converter sorted

should see it go a bit quicker.

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

Time flies been over a year since ive been on here

Best to date 10.3 and 132 mph.

Also it made 323rwkw N/A at 7000 rpm  2 weeks ago on the workshop dyno.

N/a best has been 11.3 121 mph.

You ran 10.3 with 323rwkw in a VX??  Really, any idea what weight it is?  Or is that without the giggle juice?

what speed would you be expecting vrsenator065?

loving the build, any extra info on your nitrous set up? And install pics? I’m hoping to be spraying by Chrissy 

[ACE PERFORMANCE TUNINGParticipant PENRITHL98 VX SS ON NITROUS AND VS 304 View build HERE Member since: March 14, 2015 Posts: 48]

10.3  is 150hp shot of  giggle gas. Love to run a 10 n/a but I don’t think it will

happen without some serious mods.

Weight is 1760kg with driver and bit over half a tank of fuel.

Still has a working ac,leather front seats and driven to and from the track.

Setup/info is on the 1st page.

The only change lately is ASE billet fuel rails and -6 feed line to the fuel solenoid.

Sorry mate, hope that didn’t come across wrong, its just an awesome number.  So I would have no idea how much of a 150hp shot makes it back to the wheels?  Very impressive, especially given how streetable it is.  I don’t know a whole lot about drag racing, so really also have no idea what mph that would/could be.
