Just a question, I know its not the right thread and before I go any further, congratulations again Rob. I am sure, and I'm not trying to start a sh|t fight, but did Rod Clark's Pursuit run 11.5/131 or was I in need of some well earned sleep that evening?

That would make it the quickest and fastest Boss V8 in Oz... Again not trying to start a sh|t fight as I would class both Chris and Rod as mates and go to visit them on a regular basis for chat... Anyway no doubting the awesome-ness of Chris's achievements with both his own car and his customer's, what he has achieved with Rob's car in particular is sensational.

Question for Alex FPVGT and Rob DABOSS, what diff gears and tyre diameter are you guys using?

I may be able to help, I think there talking stricktly N/A engines here in this thread.

Alex has standard diff gears.

Yes Rods pursuit did go 131 mph at Heathcote, APS TT's I was in the passenger seat on a 130 mph pass, quick and smooth.

Reading this post (Rob) DABOSS has standard diff gears also.

Manual has 3.45 or 3.46, Auto has the same I think.

According to the calculator you were making around 334 kW at the wheels to run that number... Awesome!

Do you mean Hp??


I think Daboss would be faster than high 12's if he had 334 RWKW if think he would also be claiming the highest unopened na boss title as well

I keyed in weight at roughly 1900 kg's and diff gears at 3.46, plus trap speed

Couldn't find the Moroso so I did a bit of science :lookedat:
