Default stage 3 cossies.......1/4 mile times?

Hey all, i was just wondering what 1/4 mile times peoples stage 3 cossies had done, saff's 2/4x4, 3 doors and escos, or anything else cossie powered running stage 3.
i am planning on upgrading my stage one 4x4 next year, its done 13.9 as it is.
Anyone fancy posting their spec's/times

cheers

I've only done 1 run and I took it easy through 1st and 2nd and got a 13.5 @ 108.8mph. I wasn't impressed with the time but my 0-60 foot time was 2.4 seconds.

when its done i will do 1 or 2 runs to see what gains i have made, then that will be it.
i usually dont boost it in first, gently into 2nd, then foot down.

my brothers 2wd saff ran 13.1 @ 109 without any launches off the line, i reckon with grippy tyres and a good burnout it would have run 12.6/7 or would have broken the diff

my escos with an stg.3 ab map mongoose and 1,6/1,9bar boost ran a 12,4sec 182km/h on 17" mo´s FULL weight AND aircon, but you have to do a full power launch off the line to do that.
A friend of mine had a 95 escos t25 STANDARD that did a 13,54 sec, that was pretty good.
My new engine did a 11,7 but had to let off cause the headgasket went 150m before the line

the crail off road coarse dont count mate lol
i could run low 12's at crail all day long and then went to santa pod and run mid 11's every time so depends where you take it to an extent
but count on mid 12's with a bit of practice off the line

8.8" Mustang axel.

Its worth remembering that drag racing is what Danny B's been into since he could practically walk and really knows how to make a car hook up. Hence such good times from a stage 1.
