There would have to be.
You dont drop ET's and pick up MPH without any changes.

Well it's had a tune up as well Cam.

Chris doesn't send out the car with the best tune until he thinks it's time, also not saying that this is all the car has.
As you know what chris can do with a unopened 260 even before openening it.

motomk · 12-05-2006, 10:16 PM

Well done to Ratter!

galaxy xr8 · 12-05-2006, 10:35 PM

Well done indeed.

CAMS290 · 12-05-2006, 10:41 PM

Well done to Ratter and to all involved, that car is getting quicker with every outing.
Who needs a Turbo with times like that !!

XA-Coupe · 12-05-2006, 10:48 PM

Well done Mick !! At the front again.

:
I suspect the car has been on a diet given the large leap.

X ORSMXR · 12-05-2006, 11:02 PM

l am thinkin that the forums meet will be very intresting.

SpoolMan · 12-05-2006, 11:10 PM

Well done ratter, great result...
if you can run 11.6, I suspect everyone will be lining up for a 11.6 tune.

MYV8 · 12-05-2006, 11:10 PM

Well done guys, that is what you call really shifting the goal posts.

rodderz · 12-05-2006, 11:17 PM

Well done Michael and Chris, great research there into getting extra out of the ute

Getting very close to unopened LS1 record territory now

hot460 · 12-05-2006, 11:29 PM

That Bluepower Tune!!!! Wow

Congratulations Ratter. Awesome stuff.
Chris predicted that a 290 will crack 11's a while ago, But too run 11.6 I DIPS MY LID!

:

The forums meet will be very interesting. It will be good to see if there is much competition out there for you guys.

Bloody oath, I'm spewing I cant make it next week as there will be some good duals happening, not just v8's but 6's too. Fords have come a long way in the last 6 months

Craig · 12-05-2006, 11:32 PM

Lowride260 has been 12.7 something, manual, 4.11, racing wheels and tyres.

Well done Ratter and Chris, awesome job tonight, that thing was flying your 60' footers looked great and the ET / MPH on the scoreboards looked even better. Well done guys a great result for an auto car.

Cheers Craig

X ORSMXR · 12-05-2006, 11:35 PM

Well Cam it may be the motor to have but they are very different to each other.
But when racin the 260 racin is very close unlike the 290 race atm.

rodderz · 12-05-2006, 11:39 PM

Mate you will never see the car racin again as l sold all my shares in the cv joint industry. lt's a shame as the car will do it easy with a launch but can't afford 2 brand new CV shafts.

Big chance i will have to work, the East Link Project is behind with the rain we have had and they are trying to make up lost time by working all day Saturday instead of half day.
I have just bought a new truck and need all the $$$ i can get atm.

Come on Cam, the little woman and I are just trying too work out how we can get our 3 cars down too heathcote next weekend from Sydney. And we would love too see some 290's go down the track Side by Side, Hope yours is one of them. I think she wants one when she sells her turbo. :hihi:

**Bluepower** · 13-05-2006, 01:05 AM
