NEW uncracked BOSS record!

**Bluepower** · 23-04-2006, 03:52 PM

Well done Ratter, the big red pursuit that keeps getting quicker.

12.23@112.5 full weight car at heathcote today.

Car went like a trooper all day, 60's in the 1.84-1.89 range, and ran several 30's and ran into the 114 mph bracket, ran 112's like they were on sale.

Good on you Mick, Pitlane Automotive and APS Frankston for another fine achievement.

P.S - mind telling us about the "x" pipe mick? lol

unopened 290, std pump gears, difilipppo headers, hi flow cats, underdrives, SS 80mm T/B, 4.10 diff gears, Bluepower CAI, Bluepower Tune, Mickey ET street radials, dominator converter, pump ultimate with no additives.

Car prepared by Pitlane Automotive Frankston and APS Frankston - all we did was supply the airbox and tune, which Mick at APS also had a hand in.

Mick has fabricated his own X pipe. sounds awesome!

So is it the standard catback with the x pipe or is it an aftermarket catback.

it was a cool 18 degrees, but with an indifferent altitude of 2200ft. Same MT's, they are nearly run in.

Leigh, Mick made his own X pipe.

XA-Coupe · 23-04-2006, 04:46 PM

Magnificent effort. Congrats to all involved but particularly Ratter !!

galaxy xr8 · 23-04-2006, 05:17 PM

So how did the LS1's fair againt's this ute?.

AU1XLS · 23-04-2006, 05:21 PM

Go Ratter

rodderz · 23-04-2006, 05:22 PM

Well done Ratter, another few 10th's knocked off the time

The records all happen so quickly!

ratter · 23-04-2006, 05:42 PM

Thanks guys

Thanks Chris for all the helpful advice
The car was run as driven on the street (nearly a 400 klm round trip to the track and back), except for drag radials on steel rims on the rear (yes spoolman, same as the LS1 nationals) also minus hardcover and spare wheel, I weighed the car as it is a few weeks back and it was 1820 kg
No need to even run any octane aditives, just BP Ultimate as Chris has tuned it how I want to be able to drive it on the street.

The exhaust is difillipo extractors and high flow cats and the rest of the system is an off the shelf X'force system, but I remade the front Y section to my own likings.

The best it ran was 12.23 @112.42 mph, but itslo ran a 114.68 mph and a few 113 mph.

I also ran a 12.44 with the air con

ratter good times what is it like to drive around town you do leave the car setup the same as on the track

ratter · 25-04-2006, 05:02 PM

The car is raced exactly as it is driven, except for the rear tyres and hardcover and spare removal.

The convertor that is in it at the momment is a little bigger than I would normally like to use everyday, but it is still great to drive, although accelerating in first gear now produces heaps of tyre smoke.

:

The only reason I would use a smaller convertor normally is because this car is and was allways meant to be my everyday car, to take on holidays, pick up parts etc etc. I allready have my hotty car to play with which has a big convertor etc, the pursuit was meant to be towing this car around, that's why I would like a smaller convertor.

I've just come in from a 200 klm round trip and the avg fuel used is 11.5l/100 klms which I think is pretty good for low 12 sec car.

The car could be made to go quicker with a bigger convertor, but it's road manners would start to suffer and at the end of the day, I played with this car to show what my workshop is capable of and still keep it nice to drive.

Mach1Marauder · 27-04-2006, 11:09 AM

Killer times for a full weight car!!!!!!

galaxy xr8 · 23-04-2006, 05:47 PM

With that weight, 1820kg, imagine what a car with a weight off around 1500-1600kg with the Boss engine would do, so it show's the Boss has the mumbo.

ratter · 23-04-2006, 05:56 PM

Forgot to add,

With Chris's help, this car has been taken to the track 4 times and has broken or reset the et record every time and the mph record the last two times

AUIII XR8 MAN · 23-04-2006, 06:09 PM

Good to hear that thing keep getting better.

347_XR8 · 23-04-2006, 06:29 PM

Good work boys!

hot460 · 23-04-2006, 06:44 PM

Craig · 23-04-2006, 06:48 PM

Chris has allready run 11.90 in his 260 with just a timing change on the cams, I think there will be some very quick Boss's when people start to play properly
