MPH NEVER lies!

There is more factors to it though:

http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/trap-speed-vs-et-explained-here.567417/

Naturally, patterns emerge again after looking at lots of runs and of course these correlate best to time, not mph.

(while 11.5 isn't the best time you need to remember the weight of the car)

Like when i did 12 runs at heathcote my 13.0, 13.1s etc were all over 111mph my quicker 60fts and lower ets were 105mphs (12.6 etc)

The link is a decent read

Yes i know all that :P

MPH is lower if the 60ft is better. Thats the basic summary of the long winded link :)

Avg 60ft is 1.9-2.3 for a typical street car. Such a variance will see 1-3mph diff having raced over 100 passes in my GTS-R years ago. Got it pretty consistent in the end and the 1.9 60fts were always 2mph down over my 2.2 60ft runs.

Still even if you add 3-4mph to 121 - 125mph for 400rwkw is ... A no. Car would have to be 2.5 tonne or there abouts.

Alex, levelled or not they still blind me just as much as any other xenons I see in Preludes etc. Truth is all headlights hit you in the eyes but xenons are always worse...so levelling aside I'd like to see an all or none approach to it.

Unrelated, how the f**k does Tim Cahill eat 9 weetbix...I bet it's not within the space of 5-10 minutes.

I got a few 1.9s with 105 106 ish and 2.0s and 2.1 are up past 111mph.. but i see where you're coming from.

I want to get into the 12s at heathcote :) you better come! or you going to other sprint thing?

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
