Combo with a more drag racing setup in a light car could be good for a mid 10 i belive!

I'd beinterested to hear your thoughts on convertor sizing ( as i asked in tech thread). The car is mainly a tough streeter, but i want to take advantage of all i can on the 1/4 mile!

Cheers

tce seem to be on the money with there work
speaking to them would be your best bet with the converter mate

[ima400]

the 3800 stall sounds to be right especially with your car being a bit heaver

[Tiny]

Thansk heaps guys! I Value your opinions!

I looked at a big trans cooler witha fan and i think with that and the big stall i'll be right!

Just gotto save for it now :)

Cheers!

hey tiny that is a tuff engine , i recon a tank would weigh less

mate i hope your sitting down in a torana lc / lj that combo would 10.1-10.2 @ around 130 mph NOW THAT IS TUFF AS . got to luv the bow tie

[Tiny]

HEHEHE Cheers mate!

I know the potential that it has and it's kinda sad because i dont want to gut the monaro, or put the donk into something that's REALLY set up for the track! Ive got to appologise to Mark from EZE-10s for not putting his combo into the 10s even though it's got the potential!

I sorta enjoy where i am now with the car being so drivable and being pretty tough!

Maybe in the future i'll build a propper drag car and go racing with a similar combo!

Cheers mate!
If you wanna rev it! CHEV IT!

Gosh that's light for a big car Tanka - I'm surprised I thought the big luxo cruisers would have been heaps heavier than that.

[tanka5.7]

its 1534 atm but the ls1 is 90kg vs the 5L being 160kg
