Default Fastest and quickest 5.4’s with zf6 speed

Gday y’all

I was wondering if there is a list of fastest 1/4s run by 5.4s

More specifically I’m after the current record for fastest and quickest falcon with a 5.4 and zf6

Please feel free to drop all 5.4 times in this thread as I’d love to get a list going and know the fastest cars in the country

Cheers

Mine ran a 13.5 stock with a manual. Hoping to get into the 12's with the mods when the strip opens up again.

If you're hitting 110mph all you need is more traction to run a high 12.

Your mph indicates a 12 is there for the taking id say the diff gears will help the boss get there.

hope so mate. since the 110mph run ive done a couple extra things plus herrod cams though. during that run i seemed to have traction but a 2 second 60 was all i got. hoping to get it back to bluepower once stage 4 has ****ed off and get a check over on tune plus maybe that launch function from pcmtech. Try leave at 2.5 to 3 k on semis

oath mate , should shave some time off with the gear choice. Done a test run ( airstrip in mexico ) but not hard launch as it spins to easy but definetly quicker.

Im looking forward to seeing how your ute goes once you can get to the drags,any idea when they might be opening a strip near you?
Our dragstrip opens in october,wa covid laws arent anywhere near as harsh as everywhere else in aus though.

yeah no idea to be honest mate. Last i saw heathcote is getting some much needed work. Im also 10 min drive to calder park but unsure when they open.

just ordered some koni adjustable shocks today and tomorrow ill be ordering the tramp rods for it.


might get more time to sort converter
pcmtech launch control and possibly flex fuel


with some semis it'll be ready for full send.
