Times Tumbling At Heathcote Track Attack

[R33RWKW]

Anyone seen the article in Fiday 9/9/05 Herald Sun?

Adam Hargrave ran a 10.2@216km in a BA Falcon using stock manifold & turbo.

I assume this wasn't in street class, anyone know the car? as the other modifications were not listed - Was gas used?

As you all know 10.2s@216km is a very fast time for a BA XR6, Just didn't think a BA could beat MRBLONDE's BMW time, even in the same class.

I am about to unleash (or try to) some good times at Calder Park when I get my car back from Racepace. I never got round to taking it for a run before due to work commitments, and After reading this article it made me cringe a little. My previous set up (before RacePace) in my R33 GTS-T was pushing out 213rwkw@14psi using:

std turbo, std inj., std AFM,std coils etc..., Apexi GT Spec FMIC, Jasma 3.5" exhaust, Apexi SAFC2, Bosch 044 f pump & surge tank, K&N "Oval Pod" (6" mouth), HKS SSQ BOV, Cusco Oil Catch can, Rear Tein adjustable suspension Bridgestone Potenza SO3's (265/35ZR18) -Rear & (235/40/ZR18) -Front, Lenzo 18" Alloys.

When I get the car back I should have very close to or 300rwkw, I will get rid of the Tein suspension. Can I get any recommendations from anyone, (Whiteline set-up, for example) as I havn't got much experience in this area.

Cheers,

Chris.

Chris, I don't know anything about this Falcon BA or it's setup but FULLBOOST tells us it's run 9.98 @ 144.05 MPH at Heathcote in some trim level.

The picture in FULLBOST has S/ST class on the car, but that's not right because the cutoff for S/ST is 11.000.

Thanks for the reply, I'll have a look at FullBoost, I wonder if it was a "accidental" missprint on the S/ST class or not.
