I rolled into the throttle at about 45-50mph and by 60 I was at wot. 4th gear start. I’m sure at a track I’ll be faster since I’ll be in 3rd gear at 60.
No doubt with better DA and maybe some weight reduction you’ll pull off a 4.xxWe have the same setup - and you are correct and the 5.1 prediction- the 3.15's are a key difference IMHO. I actually believe my setup will run a 4.x 60-130 with better air. I hope to have one last trip to the track to find out weather permitting.
Damn that's moving for a manual car!
Yeah I just pulled it up it was 5.14. 4k da and uphill lol. Before I took the blower off I had bumped it up to 22 psi too, I should have tried a draggy hit. Mid low 4s is guess.
Very solid at that DA...AT 18 psi you are making some jam. I haven't decided if I am going to up the boost (I'm at 15.5 psi on a Gen 5 Whipple) - as I believe I can run in the fours at this level - and I have far better air than you. That is enough for me. If I am going bigger boost - I think I will just build the car. I have a solid guess at what you will run at 1200 whp on a turbo setup - I would say mid 3's to at least a high 3. I had a similar power to weight setup and was running in that neighborhood. At 1600+ the setup runs low 3's/high 2's. Good luck!
Yeah, my car has a built 5.2 and Frankenstein ported heads too 18 psi Im guessing it was making a little over 1k wheel. 22 psi was insane 1100+ wish I would have draggied it now lol. crank yours up in the 4s is a faaaaaaast car
I do think the 4's are solid...and the car remains fairly happy. That said - it is always fun going full tilt - but I have done that before and I am good just to keep the build there...for now anyway lol. Good luck with your build!
Start as low of MPH as you can get full traction at. The point is to have full traction and full throttle during the entire 60-130 pull. If you have a 10r80 warm the tires up, paddle down to 3rd with the shifter in S and go to about 40 mph, roll into full throttle and be full throttle by about 55 mph then push shifter into D and keep full throttle until 130+.
You can be fast in a manual too, just gotta make the powaDamn you guys and your A10s! That tranny is no joke and I can't believe how well it puts power down! I'm running high 8s at 6lbs of boost through the m6. Granted, I've never ran on a prepped track, just Mexico runs but that A10 is impressive. Good thing I like rowing gears enough to not get frosty over how much faster you auto guys are!
Those are impressive times while rowing gears! I'd love to give in and go boost crazy but I put 20k+ miles on my car each year so I'm trying to resist the urge and keep it reasonable. How much boost are you running to hit those numbers?You can be fast in a manual too, just gotta make the powa
Car has seen more boost than this as well. No dragy times but it runs with 3.9-4.1 cars
