Default ACE 3Valve new PB
Calder friday night the 26th, jeeeez it was cold.

Made 4 runs in the "Taxi" as Chris calls it.

1st 1.85 60ft 12.97 @ 100.04 (ran out of fuel at 1000ft) :
2nd 1.86 60ft 12.86 @ 107.42
3rd 1.85 60ft 12.75 @ 108.06
4th 1.84 60ft 12.71 @ 108.42 (New PB)

Loaded up and went home too cold for me.

Cheers Craig

Good work Craig! That car is an animal, you reckon it's got much more in it E/T or MPH wise?

Well done again Craig, keep smashing them times out.

Extremely consistant (.02 difference) runs there mate, driving like a man possessed.

Good stuff Craig, the 3 valver keeps getting quicker

Whats on the agenda for the XT now, to keep going with it's development and lower the times more?

Well opening it up would be the next option, i have had some feedback from the US and now Crow Cams have also rang me to do some development work.

Or do i look at supercharging?

Might play with camshafts first and see what happens.

Nice work Craig just keeps getting better, I think the 3 valve may have surprised a lot of people with A.C.E's ongoing and successful development.
Was today's setup the same as last Saturdays?
Stay the N/A way, there would be only one S/C Boss quicker than your N/A setup on the quarter.
ps: must be time for a Ford mag to pick this one up for a great story.

Yep same set up as the AFF meet at Heathcote. With the race set up in the car there is room for improvement i could fit underdrives, 4.11 diff gears take a bunch more weight out of the car and it might get down to low 12's don't know. I am always concerned with the rear end in these sedans. Right now the car is back to stock as i need to take my two injured kids to and from school for the next month...... : : :
