N/A 3L cracks 12's
 

Posting here for those who don't check the 1/4 mile forum.

Set some new PB's yesterday at the track. The "little" old 3L went 12.83 @ 106.90 mph. On another pass it trapped 108.26 mph (on a 12.90 ET).

See the video, timeslip, more detail etc here.

That is an amazing trap for N/A! Good job!

Hey Dandy, could you update your mod list in your sig? I tried clicking it but it says could not find the thread. Do you have a cardomain page or anything?

sick mate!

thats AWESOME as crap... but i cannot see the video........ :mad:

I just updated it, try the link in my sig now. :)

Try it again, I changed the file... should be working properly now.

Jesus man... congrats! :doublethu: History in the making...

alsothevideoisstill4:3

I don't think so, check your player settings? It opens normally for me now in Windows Media Player...

... can anyone else confirm?

this video is definitely 4:3.

it's kind of like anamorphic letterbox--it's a widescreen frame, but with black bars on either side of the letterbox video.

Sorry I guess you're right, I'm not being specific enough. The overall video is 4:3 yes but the portion showing the actual race, that's letterboxed because it was originally shot in true 16x9 widescreen, so as long as you're seeing the letterboxing top and bottom and the car in the correct proportion, not looking tall and squished then the video is correct. In the first video the car was out of proportion...

Wow sick man!!!! Nice mods list you got going there too! What are you revving that motor to now?

Oh man that's amazing, congrats!

Simply amazing! Congrats on breaking into the 12s. Now boost it and break into the 10s :wall:

Dandymax - ceasar showed me this video.. inspiring dude!! Well done. I heard you were down under recently?? Next time you're down here shoot me a PM and i'll show you my 16 second slug lmfao!

thats good stuff man.. i didnt think the 3.0s were capable of that.. any reason why you dont have an aftermarket ECU?

Didn't need it before with an engine that was stock internally, the EU was enough...

Nope, was the other way around. Black bars on the sides of the squished video.

ARggh. I don't get it then. :confused: It seems to be showing up fine for me and lots of other people. If I open the file in WMPlayer it shows up correctly letterboxed. If you watch the StreetFire.net or YouTube version (just search my username) they are showing up correctly also.

Congrats!!!! on getting a 12sec out of your max and I knew that the 3.0 has some power there people just had to find the ways to drive better to get there with some N/A mods. I am hoping that we can sqeeze out a 11 or 10 barley that would be awesome. I know people were wondering if the 3.0 will hit the 12 mark. I hope you can get better and faster who knows who might be in the 11s. If a 4 banger hatchback can with N/A mods sure a max can. Goodluck.

Yeah I was in AUS for about 4 weeks, NZ for 4. When I was up Townsville way I did some white water rafting on the Tully, then moved up to Cairns to catch a SCUBA liveaboard. Had a great time! I'll have to look you up when/if I make it back down there.

AWESOME man!

Wow... really nice..


out of your list, what would u say were the top 3 that really made the difference?

Hmmm.. good question! Compared to stock you mean? As in which mods make the biggest gains/most reduction in ET?

I'd probably say the Cattman exhaust (header/y combo), the 00VI, and the EU if I had to choose. I'm not sure how much I've gained with the cams/valve train upgrades yet, since the tuning is still in progress and I don't have a dyno yet, but that's probably up there too, along with some other key factors such as the tire/wheel setup.

thats very impressive
