I presume this is Sergen GTS? If so, does it still have the Blower fitted Dunc/Christian/Justin?

Either way that is serious :woohoo: territory and most deserving of congratulations.

Are we allowed to have an update/some specs on the current configuration of the car?

Well done Russo lads. :beer:

It's currently running 383 stroker, 8 throttle body manifold (Harrop) and a big shot of giggle gas (I believe).

Awesome effort boys!

Thanks Al, a 9 sec pass is a fair old giggle me thinks.

Sounds like a sensational setup

Thank You,
I think the congratulations go to the Russo's I just gave them the car and instructed them NOT TO REMOVE ANY INTERIOR or any other thing.
Christian loosing weight instead LOL.

thankyou guys, the car has gone faster than i expected, and i think there is more in it , i just imagine if the car was around 1450kg race weight how fast it could go, but you heard the boss himself interior has to stay he wants me to be comfortable in the big leather lounges... LOL...
Anyone who seen the car run would know it has a pretty big traction problem so that will be the next thing to try and sort out.
we are still running the ls1 alloy block 383ci harrop manifold diffilipo pipes rtls1 tuned and a 180 shot of nos.
i will be running the car again on Australia day (holden v ford) hopefully the track will be prepd better then we may see it run faster

rtls1 tuned

interesting. Is Dick tuning it or do you guys use rtls1? Do you have any idea of what sort of power it's actually making?

I believe the Russo boys have invested in the RTLS1 tuning package;

as such they are doing their own ls1 tuning work, including this car of course.

Yes they are tuning ls1 as they did mine as well as a lot of other members of trackchat.

I realised the Russo boys were tuning, just didn't realise they were using rtLS1. When released to workshops it was obviously a very good product however it was very expensive as well. I hope they get the return on the investment, news of SergenGTS's results can only help. I feel for the guys investing in the 'state of the art' tuning software because the guys developing the engine management systems are also investing heaps... and unfortunately the likelyhood of the current 'state of the art' tuning software being compatible with the newest 'state of the art' engine management system are remote.
