Thanks mate, I'm actually the guy that Rns13 stated run 12.6. I've run that fairly easily and confident of a low 12 also. The engine runs a nitrous cam and convertor as thats what its built for but i just want to see what i can get out of it n/a first. Cheers Don

Thats a killer rig mate, with guys like you, rainford and the mocks, the sixes are getting good representation.

and scaring the odd v8 as well!

What's the fastest N/A BA 6? I havn't seen many times at all, but to get the ball rolling XRchics BA XR6 rana 14.80 @ 95mph. It has heaps more in it, and heaps more room for mods.

I can't wait to see the JMM BA XT hit the track.

SpoolMan · 20-06-2005, 12:12 AM

Hi Eamon we rate Jac's car as the quickest N/A BA 6, the only other times we seen are in the 15's...

Cobra · 20-06-2005, 12:17 AM

Jacs car has heaps more in it just on it's current setup. For starters it has new tyres!!! Also, next time we will run it with less fuel and switch the A/C off! Should be good for a 14.6. Then to get a new clutch, LSD with 3.7s, edit....

smoke · 20-06-2005, 10:21 PM

the mocks ba motor in a light car would hammer!

Mmmmm I would like a mid 14.

Also, since its last run on the strip, dont forget you fitted an additional air intake with a GT snorkel and fitted the BPT thermostat, babe!

And yes *hangs head in shame* there will NOT be a full tank of fuel in the car next time, and the A/C WILL be turned off.... AND the tyres will be correctly inflated, as opposed to them ALL being at 20 psi last time...

My NA run was a 13.9 @ 104MPH you wouldnt expect anyone to have a faster NA 4.0 then Brendon, The only thing I still cant work out how Brendons EB isnt getting a higher MPH with such a good time.

More traction, less power, less kg????

XRQTR · 21-06-2005, 11:29 PM

It all depends on where in the range it makes the power.

You got more power....But you haven't gone to the level JMM have gone to setting the suspension and tyres up on the Red EB.

Yep your right, Stokeb with his 104mph setup properly that would be good for a very low 13 sec pass.

Walkinshaw · 22-06-2005, 02:57 AM

1/4mile has more to it than pure bhp as people have stated

And other people can't work out how he gets the front to lift!! Or why one side of the bonnet opens when he gets off the line and hits gears!!! Brenden has been a lot of time spent on that car. And he is still using my front wheels!!!!!

( BIG LUKE thinks that 4 weeks of borrowing front wheels = a rather hard drive of the "Time Machine")

Brendens red eb is only setup for one thing to race, my car is a every day car its setup for the street, i wouldnt set it up like Brendens cops would have a ball with me once they pull me over and check over the car. The hastles i get now are enought for me. I cant wait to see how quick Brendens red eb goes with the laughting gas in it, should run a good 12 to high 11 if his using a good shot of NOS and if its tuned good.

xflow · 07-07-2007, 11:57 AM

i can verify a 12.01 in a ford performance mag its my mates cortina 250 crossflow not a rego'd car but if any ones seen brendons recently it striped out to so go figure my mates cortina raced brendons eb and killed it pore brendon he though we were using nos lol

Cobra · 07-07-2007, 12:08 PM

Thread mine of the century! That's a ripper of a time man for an N/A 250 X flow, so close to an 11 too!

Craig · 08-07-2007, 02:43 PM

Geez this thread has come back from the dead...where's Elvis?

Having said that interesting reading i have to say, some cars here have come along way in 2 years and now some new kids on the block are getting in on the action great stuff.

1TUFFUTE · 08-07-2007, 03:51 PM

Itll probably be embarrising how quik the mocks have made the BA an the other sixes since the last update. Those boys down there are pure evil

NOS200 · 08-07-2007, 08:22 PM

There is a cortina in qld that was running 11.7 @ 113 ish mph na, full street, air cleaner,pump fuel,full exhaust as driven on the road, it should be going quicker soon.

smoke · 08-07-2007, 09:42 PM

MYLO_XR6 · 08-07-2007, 09:51 PM

Pretty sure the thread is fastest FORD SIX. That centura is it really a street car with its dry sump etc?

I think my BA engine in my 1100kg XD falcon with a 4000 stall would run high11s ! Considering my BA weighs over 1800kgs with me in it and makes 250 Moroso horsepower at the wheels ???
Dont need a sporty corty to go fast my friend

windsor xxww · 10-03-2008, 11:49 PM
