Lmr tested the 10 speed auto at 415/397rwhp, but guess what? it will outrun the mt-82 car!

I love all the absolute certainty’s in this thread, with two dyno numbers as proof.
With all things being the same autos always beat manuals. Its as certain as stock v8’s beating stock v6’s!

The big question, how does the updated MT-82 feel vs the old one?

No gain in performance but a better "twin disc" makes for a softer clutch feel and easier shifting...just have to wait and see if it exhibits the other issues associated with earlier versions...

An extra 22 HP would show a significant trap speed increase over the camaro...which (so far) is not the case.
Has anyone actually posted track times for the 2018?

For what it's worth, we here at LMR did a live video on facebook just in case anyone did not believe our dyno numbers :)

No doctored numbers here.
we know the #'s are legit.... we all know that the track is the real dyno so we are waiting for those results...thanks for your video!!!.

We do have a live video from the track as well on our Facebook. We are putting together the actual video now.

We ran a best of 12.0 at 116 before we got rained out. With a better DA and weather and track, someone will be in 11's very soon. We worked with what we had and unfortunately mother nature had other plans.

Stay tuned!

Any early predictions or preliminary data on hp/tq increase with just a tune?

How many passes did you make and how much effect did lowering the air pressure have Tyler?

Why would they need to doctor "bone Stock" dyno numbers? Was this pull a 93 Octane tune perhaps?

I just don't understand why, if they have no interest in the pull other than baselining it, would they fudge the numbers.

Not that we know of just yet. Looking forward to what SCT has in store!
