I only have a personal best with the STANDARD b16b - It was 14.61 at 97mph..
The reason I went for the 4.05 was with my ratio's and the standard 4.4 FD I would be limiting at 102mph in 4th gear, I should be reaching more than that with my spec - Roughly 108 - 110 mph. The less gearchanges in a race benifits overall time, therefor with the 4.4 I would need 5th gear just before the finish line.. Lol thats the method behind my madness, ohh the 4.05 tops out 4th gear at 112mph - Near perfect !!
Cheers, Andy
Standard b16b with Spoon exhaust and ???? manifold.
I cant see you going anywhere near 108-110mph, on the 1/4.
Even with your new box and B18 setup.
Theres a few cars that go to Crail that are FWD, and the ones that go quick 110mph + have alot of power and usually Turbo.
Even the lad in his K20 rarely goes above this.
Will wait and see though.

I see where your coming from, alot of TURBO cars regulary hit 110+ - However with the new diff and longer 1st gear I think my 60 ft times should be greatly reduced improving my top speed. The reason I think I should be up near or arround 110 is my b16b could run constant teminal speeds of 97 - 98 mph. There is no way with my new set-up and gears I will only be doing 4 mph more than standard !!!!
My 14.6 was with a spoon N1 only, no manifold, standard tyres, OEM CAT. I really hope its a dry day and not too much of a head wind. I will be sure to post up the time sheets no matter what the results. Lol the thing is tho no matter HOW much it costs I will run 12's in that car N/A. If it means pulling the block again for 14.1 CR Pistons and Rods then so be it..
Kamakazi I will be happy to take you for a spin in the car if you give me your number and are local. I see your just abit optimistic.
Yeah cheers for the kind comments john, I really think the car has potential of some quick times aswell mate. Even if it runs 17 seconds !! I will still be happy with it, it looks sounds and drives amazing !!
Cheers, Andy
Awesome Man, good to see someone else with the gears, really puts a smile on your face eh must be crazy with your power!, how is it on the motorway with yours, a bit more noise ?
