SmokeEm Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 Welcome, as Roger says, what does it run?
ford360chap Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Posted January 19, 2010 thanks for the comments guys she is a handfull sometimes and thats just in the dry best time so far was last time out in october at Santa Pod and she ran a 12.13 sec qtr but hit the rev limiter a few times and she's running a bit rich so a little more tuning should improve on this. and then if i actually turn on the gas then who knows what'll do to the times. few mods to over winter are bmw headlights having developed / found dead easy quick way to fit these should be in nect week, also fitted little nippendenso alternator on some laser cut stainless brackets and start febshould see replacement stainless traction bars for the rear .
