    That's a dam good time Oli, but surely that top speed is not right, im sure with F20 and Rolling radius of 15's with 45mm profiles would not get that high,more like 145/7 top...
    (im not saying your wrong, just don't sound right)

    Phil-iirc, your 60ft is similar to what i did in a 1600,Lol.
    Traction issues?
    i dont get traction issues, no doubt an error on my bahalf. I have doe bang on 2.0 60fts and faster terminal speeds but not put them together yet.

    Also there are a few different F20s like most other boxes, plus it all depends what your limiter is set at. If yo had a 9k limit then you could get some good tops speed assuming its making the power there. Think 'll be upping mine to jus over 8k when its done, not tha I ever want to do that in 6th gear though.

    12.5 @ 111mph with a 2.05 60ft last time out

    I managed a 12.7 yesterday on a test setup and missing a gear, 1.94 60ft though so getting better at launches.

    IIRC there were 2 F20's one from the Asta/cav generation and then there was the 4x4 F20 which did have a different FD in it. quite sure Ollys was a normal F20 box though

    Ollys top speed run is about right for a car with little weight and a increased rev limit, especially as thats within 1.25 miles.

    Im no 1/4mile expert, but the 60ft is basically how good your launch was/is.
    Id say 2.2 from a std xe is good.

    2.2 isn't bad tbh.

    Especially if its open diff and on road tires (not 888's for example)
