I ran a 9.96 @ 138mph in my ED xr8 on the weekend , It has a stock short block with aftermarket heads cam manifold etc. and I 'm running twin E-bay turbo's as this is a budget project, I still run the stock 4speed BTR auto as i still drive this on the street and a few weeks ago I drove it from Gladstone to Palmyra race way in Mackay (app. 450klm one way) raced it running a new pb at the time of 10.46 @ 132mph then drove it home. Here's a couple of pic's of the set up
The engine bay  at Palmyra  the trip home from Mackay  and a video of a 10.5 some thing pass http://s182.photobucket.com/albums/x143/xr...fromPalmyra.flv |

It usually means you are out at the track or on the spanners acheiving shit rather than posting on here talking shit about "oh I did this, my car can run this but only on c144 race fuel" So congrats on getting out there and showing everyone how it's done.

very good time, what power was it making? about 600hp? i dare say your bottom end and or drivetrain will meet a very very dismal end launching like that often enough:P
