First run 'nearly' hooked up then looks like tyres unloaded.The rest of the runs pretty much wheelspinning 60' times lol.

Doing well for baby tyre!!!

Full tank of petrol on a cooler day or night all it will need is good track condition...just a matter of time.

Do like the fact it's small tyre,baby stally & tall gearing.

Hip6 show us how yours goes!! No offence but this car isn't a race car it's a mild sbc with a blower and a total street car that I cruise with my family I know it's no rocket ship but I'm pretty proud of where it's at atm if you don't like it frOck off

well said Nathan,..

i might add so what if its supercharged you still have to drive the thing and that's no easy feat especially driving in the conditions he has been racing in..i'd like to see your car Hip6 at the dragstrip...people post on forums to share there experiences for you and I to enjoy not to be a dartboard for piss poor comments..

Well done mate show us some pics like I said before this is a very mild set up on 10psi with shitty 305 heads I built on a budget it's no drag car and I drive it all time it never sees a trailer I can't afford the safety gear to go tens so I'm very happy where it is. Sure I could of built a na sbc for it then it would need a bigger converter and 4.11 in the rear and would drive like a pig

Cheers mate yeh I just had a look at stock six I'm a fan of old school shit and I like what you've achieved with the red I worked side by side with mick Borg the king of the holden six for years. I just don't rubbish other people shit on a forum that's all. My car is no dragster it's a family cruiser that goes ok

Not rubbishing your car,it's a beautiful piece,you put it out there.
I just like to get more out of less...where these days the majority of people do the opposite.

Hi mate well done, that's awesome time for set up that you have, I tend to agree with you, keep the 13 rims looks factory and looks super tuff. Seems every torana has been mini tubbed at the strip these days, great to see what your running. If I owned owned your lc, would be over the moon, keep it the way it is, drive it, and enjoy it without doing more mods to it and getting defected etc. Cheers Alex.
