Default 327rwkw how quick
Hey all,

I have 327rwkw in my s/c Ba xr8 ute and am wondering how fast it should be, i am thinking of taking it to the strip but cant really be bothered. Im still after more power and might go out once iv'e had another tinker with it, thorw the current setup on the old girls sedan and give that a run to.

Bugger, no point spending any more money on mods. Probably get a paint job instead.
They tell me, we might see you tomorrow night, Craig.

You'll need a good suspension and tyre set-up. Otherwise you'll wheel-spin and god knows what you will get. I suggest talking to a few guys from ORSM Ford Cruisers and Bluepower to see how to set it up right.
You can have power, its getting it to the ground thats the main thing!

I cant wait. I am sure it will be too hot for a 12 tomorrow and i am sure I will need a convertor to get my old girl into that zone.
So i am sure Chris (myv8) will be there before me, but I know i can now push him all the way.
See you guys out there.

BIG THANKS to Chris from Bluepower, the car feels awesome!!!!!!!! :

Blown XR we hope you bring your car out for a run, the more fords the better. You should really belt some LS1 ar-e's with that weapon! :MrT_anim:

I am sure you will need slicks! but traction will still be very hard too sort out with that much power! Good luck mate. :eclipsee_

That would be with sticky tyres, have a look at the spread sheet with the times on chris car on heathcote AFF day, 3psi full slicks.
MT streets would be the go leigh best before going to slicks, cheap and can drive to a from track.

Have a look at the thread in the drag section called "effects of modifications boss260" first thread, it will tell you everything you want to know.
