Yeh, I was just saying to John how good his time is!!! That's awesome.

Now for some 3.9s and your Unichip!! Oh something even more extravagant ;)

[Southy]

yeah i still wasnt getting the best launches possible but they will come in good time. it was my first time racing so yeah. um my mods are the usal stuff, Cam, Zauhst and heders, air intake, 5 speed.

was really looking forward to racing you john! i even waited and come up beside u but some car ran a solo run and u got bumped up. ahh well next time........

congrats on the trophy mate u deserve it!

cant wait until i get the 3.45 LSD in...... the 2.89 single spiner is killing me! but money is tight for a 16yr old

for sure man, ill have to be trying harder next time, i already got a 3.45 diff :(

[Damo]

Southy mate it's a 2.92 diff ;) lol great time once again. Go 3.9's and show John some sexy EA tail lights. ;)

[Southy]

bah my bad! 2.92*

[XRated]

14.89 with a 2.92, that's even better!!!

[needfordspeed]

That's a damn good time, good on ya! I wanna take mine to the track now

[Walkinshaw]

BIG mph there guys. Get it off the line and 14.1's are easy

those 2.92 diff ratio seem to go reel quick :
i had them in my eb and i swear it was quicker then when the 3.27 went back in.

[eed-250]

EF302 its true.
My mate ran a 14.7 in an EA with a spooled 2.92 then ran a 15.0 with 3.27's.
Its because you dont have to change into 4th. So its peaking 3rd across the line.

eeeekk im running a 14.81@91something mph. So get an lsd in the bum southy and you will bring those times down to a 14.4 or sometinhg.

[Damo]

yeah 2.92 isn't a bad ratio, I cross the line in third too.

[Rollin]

Crossing the line at peak power in 4th is a good thing - you can flat shift 3-4 so the shift time is SFA, and the car gets to pass through its peak power range 4 times instead of just 3...well, at least with my car (i crossed the line at around 4800/5200 in 4th), my box has a big rev drop between 2-3 but not much at all between 3-4, other people may have better ratios...3.9s were perfect for my car but may be too short for an EA box...they seem to have shorter ratios.

Congratulations for getting into the 14s Southy!!! All these cars doing sub 15 with such minor work...who would have thought it 5 years ago???

Don't see many V6 commos down around the 14s...

[GUTLES]

Excellet time for an EA!
