Great times mate. Well done. Have you considered using a bit of gas??
If you are doing those times with no Nitrous, you will beat the crap out of the 1/4 with a 50 or 100 shot.

Hi perry, How is it going. Derek uses gas when he doesnt waste it :oops:
Im sure he uses 60bhp and gets a very respectable 12.2 with it.

Yeah a 12.2 @113 with 60 early August via a pushbutton.
Wired the progressive controller in this time and changed the jets for a 100 but no improvements on the day... close with a 12.3 @112.
Darn Holden won t class with 12.0 @117.

Already planning angle of attack for the Sept Hot rod meet.

Got into the 3's at York last weekend with a 3.9513 recorded by the 0-60 camera in the right hand lane. Thats 1 record i was aiming for, its that elusive 11 i want next. With higher terminals upto 116.85 it must be possible at the next meet if the weathers kind.
