[ekjim]

Nice one Dan ,thats a good time . What is the spec on your engine  and  do you have any more pics of the car ?

[Essexboy]

Stage 2 green injector spec, nothing special but it certainly does the job! Got loads of pics on my Retards Club (Dan Snook) don't know how to upload into here lol

Wayne not been able to try it out but I'm sure it's done the trick I'm trying to blag a day off work (hopefully Friday) to come and have a play on your Dyno lol will let you know tomorrow if that's ok?

Managed an 11.9 @ 115mph with a 1.89 60ft on street tyres slicks to put on this weekend at Retro Show with longer ratio diff!

[Tom E Cropp]

Awesome!

[ekjim]

Well done mate on getting into the elevens . Thats a great 60ft time on street tyres , what size tyres is that with and what diff ratio ?

[Essexboy]

They are the a048 175 50 13, 3.9 diff, crossed the line on the limiter in 5th!

Changed the set-up now tho, running 550mm slicks with a 3.5 diff, was really down on power due to head gasket ( at retro show)! But ran a 12.5 at 103mph changing gear at about 4500rpm due to big misfires, got the 60ft down to 1.66 tho! Waiting for a dyno set-up then back out for some mid 11's hopefully

[ekjim]

Good stuff Dan , i'm hoping to get my car to Shakespeare  this weekend , i've gone from a welded 4.11 diff and 13inch michelin slicks( my 60ft was 2.3 terminall 124 crossing line 5th gear),  to a narrowed dana 35c with a 3.55 diff ratio.  I've been thinking about this gearing thing for ages now, so if we're, lucky enough to get racing,  we shall see what the difference is 

[Essexboy]

How did you get on mate? Manage a few runs with new setup? I ran myn with the slicks got a 1.66 60ft engine had probs tho and wouldn't rev passed 5k so ran only in the 12's but very happy with how it was hooking up

[LUKE261]

Thats a really good 60ft, your fab work is a work of art and a credit to you, i may copy your rear set up

[Essexboy]

Thanks Luke! Yeah it defo does the job! Pretty easy to do as well mate! Just measure everything twice haha

[ekjim]

Thats a really good 60ft time Dan you must be giving it some revs of the line , is it just me or would anyone else like to know your back axle setup. Im booked in for September at Shakespeare  so i hope to meet some of you guys there  

[Essexboy]
