I've ran the times in my signature. 93 only with no octane booster whatsoever. I also DD this car. I'm not 100% sure but I believe the whipple tune keeps clutch protection on in the tune because my shifts arent as crisp as when I was N/A. The whipple tune does make decent power though seeing as...
I had a similar issue and it was due to one of the bolts somewhere not being torqued to spec after installing the axles. I found this when clocking my bushings, car rides perfect now.
Mine had an RXT from ~7k miles to 26k miles before going boom. I was actually impressed by the transmission. The tranny had many daily miles and over 300 track passes on a sticky tire with many high RPM clutch dumps. Although I did change the transmission fluid over to the BG recommended stuff...
I actually hear its better to sllightly overfill. Mainly because during weight transfer the oil tends to slide back and your third gear is located at the front of the transmission which causes it to stay without lubrication at times, overfilling supposedly helps this issue.
I've tested the tires at a local 8th Mile strip....and needless to say they seemed to hook due to the fact that I sheared 2 front-rear diff bolts from the Steeda diff bushing kit which also caused the driveshaft to score against my parking brake. I'll need a new driveshaft before testing once...
Dont think they can go quite that high, the stock PCM is limited to lower.
I had 3.73s and never had an issue in the 8th, my best 8th mile pass when i was N/A was a 7.3 I believe. I ran an 11.4@119 N/A with the 28 inch tall tires and 3.73s. This was also on stock intake manifold.
Those gears looks familiar :)
Collin built mine early this month and I've paired it with an MGW. It should be seeing some trips to the track to aim for 9s passes as soon as I'm able to acquire a fuel system, IAT2 adapter, and a tune.
I have an RXT and a Stage 2 built MT82 from Racing Integration. Will be shooting for 9s this year. I have run mid 10s on the Whipple tune on 93 so far with no weight reduction on 3.73s
People say that because there is a sway with a slick(bias ply) if you do not run front runners. Some bias ply tires do not sway as much as others, usually they are the DOT approved ones. I would recommend running front runners with them, although I've seen people run them with street tires on...
If you're on drag radials you'll have to bring the RPMs up and slip the clutch a bit. I am on Bias Ply tires so I can dump it at an RPM range. On my setup I dump at around 3800 RPM.
His 60' is good for street tires. He may be able to manage a 1.8 on street tires which would most likely give him a 12.0 run. You may need more power or weight reduction to hit an 11 on the stock tires.
Launch control uses the throttle body to control your launch opening it in a gradual manner. Without launch control you're able to WOT gradually yourself or instantly. I always ran better times without LC.
My hoosier slicks are worn out, but it takes a bit to get used to the slick sway at high speeds. I used to run them at 11 PSI. I'm actually wondering how these ET street R bias ply are going to do compared to the hoosiers. I'd love a streetable bias ply.
