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 |

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! |

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 :

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.

Congrtates Ratter, this is a great achievement for you and all the Guys who have had an input to your ride. I cant wait for mine to go as hard as that.
First Unopened 260 Auto Sedan into the 12's sounds like a goal!!!

Good stuff mate. I wonder if you'll be able to get your unopened beast into the 11's. A few more cold Melbourne nights and you should be able to do it bud!
