Thanks Gurj, thats what I was expecting, anything in a 13 will be fine. would be dissapointed with a 14 though I think... time will tell. will report back once its been up

Glenn--any idea when you will be updating the site.:wave

Hi Mate,

Drop the tyre pressures for a start, dont go to mad, a few psi to begin with, going to ott can result in your diff and its contents staying on the start line...

What revs did you take off at?

Cheers

To be honest mate I ain\'t got a clue!
I hit the throttle and lifted the clutch, slowed the clutch over bite till it was firm, then slammed it from there.  Judging by the pace I took off at I\'d guess only 2.5 - 3k rpm
Looking at the playback on the defi\'s I didn\'t have full boost through a big part of first gear so think there\'s a little time to be gained in there.

Do the early times look high?  Carl and I guess the bhp to be around 300 but it wasn\'t mapped on a dyno so can\'t be more precise

Don\'t want to hit the clutch gearbox and diff too hard cos repair costs would hurt at the mo.

Any advice is welcome!  Want to beat a 13.3 run by a friend in a scoob with the interior stripped out

Dave, according to the dyno on the day I had 305bhp, and I got 13.1\'s and 13.2\'s, have had a 13.0 on a really good launch, so with 320hp and a nice run you may even crack into high 12\'s...

I was holding my throttle at 3000 revs for most of my launches, i experimented with it, less and i bogged down, more and i got to much wheel spin, it all depends on pressures, tyre temps, the surface you are racing on...

i would start with a slight drop in pressure, hold the throttle at your desired revs an launch..

it took me a while but i got my 12.9 eventually!

Im running just under 300 at the wheels..

Cheers Donato.

[bnaellis]

can you move me up from 5th to 4th please?

cheers

[gsb876]

Looking at your terminal should be in the 11\'s soon Brian

[bnaellis]

Oh Yes,
Saturday 18th June test & tune day:D

I can vouch for that :cool

[Tintin]

By the way my best was 14.1 @ 99 MPH

incidentally it was my first ever run on the strip

I said before I went I would be happy if I made 13\'s so its not far off considering theres no major tuning been done of the engine I\'m happy

Once I get my new diff and get some tips and practice maybe I\'ll start seeing some improvement :cool

[Donato]

Hi Paul,

Have you managed to get a diff yet?

[Tintin]

I\'m waiting to hear from Pip with a price ,

but I\'ve also found out that Si has one kicking around in his garage , just gotta pursuade him to sell it to me , a bit of Donato type pursuasion wouldn\'t go amiss :cool

If I can get it fixed in time I\'m planning on blowing it again at pod on the 11th :rollin

[Donato]

Im sure he will do anything if enough Stella ia involved, and being efini man it would we rude if he didn\'t fly it over to your house too!

Right lets start hounding him until he breaks down and cries, then we cant start on getting the diff! :rollin

I think it\'s great that several of us than had never done it before now have done...

5500 is the sweet spot for mine for sure (Which fits with the theory and with James\' dyno printout) - problem I had is feathering the clutch. It needs to be proper hot for progressive takeup. The last run I was riding the clutch in the queue on purpose and that seriously helped balancing it all. I was so shocked at a half-decent launch I stopped paying attention and cocked up 1-2 AND 2-3 and in fact pretty much gave up once in 3rd and wasn\'t on WOT at the trap!

Next time - no hangover, and wind it up a bit more when staged - there was definitely slack in something on my 3rd launch so it bogged slightly even though the revs were there.

It was almost impossible to get the PZeros to spin on launch pad as well, be interesting to see what happens when I try it on a track setup with Avons.

Can someone advise - don\'t think I\'ll lunch the diff, but I\'m a bit concerned about the CF drive shaft, will it take the abuse?

Figures later, left the slips at home AGAIN - best was just under 16.1 with absymal everything else.
