The car is sounding good. :thumbup:
You might have to play with the rear end a bit more, it looks like it is "squatting" a bit which is unloading the rear tyres & allowing wheel spin. Might have to fit a couple of small spacers under the springs etc.

if ive been understanding the articles about 'instant center' correctly, ideally your 4 link should be set up in such a way that the rearwards twisting force the tyres place on the diff mat launch actually transmits through the linkages and makes the diff push into the road. either way itll still help stiffening up springs as itll stop the diff from pulling away from the road as much.

yeah it sure is, and you can certain feel it! I was going over some numbers last night, when I ran the 11.29 (my PB) that was with a 1.9 60 foot time and 7.33 1/8th (and 10kms faster to that point @ 161km) but in this case I have done it with approx. 4-5psi less boost! so I am hoping that with the same boost as that I can get ever closer to a 10!! just need to upgrade some fuel lines then i'll be in a position to try!

Great result there holden202T, must be stoked with the way it is launching now. I'd say your opponents might have been a little surprised! :driving:

And finally holding fuel pressure once it gets on boost :thumbup:

yeah definately happy its going in the right direction thats for sure! and yeah i have a feeling there were a few people there not expecting the competition they got! im really annoyed the eliminations got rained out as thats the one part of the weekend i wanted to do!

anyways thats racing :)

on a side note, figure i should post up the log i emailed you VL400 so they can see what we are talking about.

so for those not in the know, the 1:29-1:31 is holding it on the 2 step limiter (and on the brake) on the start line, from there on is the run, also the speedo is not accurate, its supposed to be 150kms at the finish line!

Nice graph i figured that was the rev limiter. You must have a high stall convertor.
Just wondering what you used to measure/graph fuel pressure? I assume that's what it is.
