As Mark said, 60ft's are 1.34

C4 tranny is not ideal for heads up racing but for what i require at the mo its doing its job. My aim at the mo is just to get the car into the 8's with the C4.
Will look at changing out tranny to Lenco CS3 to make me more competative for heads up once ive achieved my goal.

Its a solid axle back halved chassis, not 3/4.

The C4 is a PA race item and the converter was made for me here in the UK. We are still in the early stages with this conv and may look to change it out. Just need to get a good straight run to get some data on rpms and shifts etc.

That first run scared the s**t out of me as thats the first time its done that, shifted to 3rd by mistake by pulling the shifter twice in a panic, couldnt see where i was going either. Stayed on the throttle though, log says 100%

Second run i was ready for it but car got out of shape and had to back off. Both runs 1.3 60ft, first run 10.2 @133 with a f****d up gear change. Would of been a low 9 easy.
