2007 GT500 build..

Your car is a monster.

I'll screen shot my wotbox settings... I have the 2step at 3000 rpm and the no lift dead time at 200 ms. Absolutely love it.

The sway bar doesn't bother me. I've actually been rolling around on bias ply drag set up on the street and while handling is certainly NOT there, I accept the trade off for great forward traction.

I hear you there on drag fronts I just didn't want guys running 19-20" wide rubber to think they won't miss a swaybar on the street.
If you're cool with 18s, the 325/45/18 Hoosier DR2 pro compound tires simply can't be beat for traction. Now they're 30" and you can't be slammed but they fit perfectvon 18x10.5 dragstars.
But by being tall you can run 4.10s and not notice on street and then have 28.5" bias ply ET Street Rs on 17x9.5s
My car on not warm roads surprised me hooking HARD in second on those tall Hoosiers.
Still gotta have bias plus for strip!

As promised... quick vid of the WOTBox in action. I friggin love this thing.

Sorry for the poor audio and shaking video. I did a crappy job mounting the GoPro... ugh!

Going to try this next. Adjusted the dead time (ms) and also going to play with the tps settings a bit to make it engage a little later in the pedal's travel.

She looks killer sir! Love that WOT box sound. Ignition cut under boost sounds beastly!

What's the benefit of Auto? I haven't tried it that way.

 

[RedVenom48]

@gimmie11s It uses your cruise control clutch switch to detect when you have pushed the clutch in to make a shift. It will keep your ignition cut while the clutch is out. If you can make a quick shift, it should make your shift smooth.

Oh wow. I'll try it. Thanks!

Ah yes... the same exact debacle I was in a few months back.

Truthfully, what decided it for me was when I realized how cheap a brand new trinity is.....under $1800?? deal of the century IMO. Choice was clear for me.

Of course, like everything, it depends on your goals. Do you every plan to build the motor? Do you plan to keep the car forever? If yes to both, wait for the 2650.

If you don't plan to build the motor, then buy a trinity.

From everything ive read, the gen 2 and gen 2R only outperform the trinity once you get to the max effort level i.e. 10% or 15% lower plus a 2.4 and headers.

And once you get to that point, you can always have the trinity ported and be damn near as effective as the gen2r.

I'll probably port the Trinity myself if I ever take it that far.


Im telling you...even with the stock pulleys this fuggin car pulls HARD AF! Shit eating grin every time I drive it.

The difference between m122 and the trinity really is HUGE. I didn't expect it to be honest.

I cant imagine a max effort lower/upper/headers/e85 car. Must be one wild ride for sure.

Eventually I know Ill pull the engine for stronger rods pistons and a timing system upgrade. I also can tell you my car wont be going anywhere as long as I can help it. After a little more news about the Gen3 has come out, I think its in my interest to wait for it.

At this point Im not ruling any upgrade path out, and this includes a Whipple 2.9 v. VMP Gen3 debate. I genuinely hope someone with a GT500 does a 2.9 Gen 3 and VMP Gen 3 head to head. I get the feeling though that the TVS 2650 rotor pack will best the Whipple and KB offerings in that segment. Hell, it might be so good that its true competition is the Whipple 3.4L or KB 3.6L!

I sure hope so. I spoke with Magnason at PRI and they said it's made over 1100rwhp on a 6.2 LS Chevy and my lightly ported 5.8 should flow better.
At 965rwhp now I'm expecting to simply bolt on 150rwhp but we will see.

That's looking good man.

@gimmie11s Have you tried your car with the WOT Box in auto yet? Thoughts?

No sir. However--

I drove her to work yesterday with the current (new) setting i posted above with the 175ms.

Scared the shit out of me because i got her to shoot flames for the first time along with a loud POW!! when I NLS 2nd to 3rd.

Seems with the quicker setting it now wants to backfire on shifts LOL.


I'll def try the Auto setting this weekend. Having a lot of fun with this car lately.


Next event is Roll Racing America on Jan 5th in Fontana at California Speedway... dont remember if i mentioned that or not.

I ordered some new Mickey Thompson ET Street SS in 305/35r18 today because the event doesnt allow bias ply slicks (boo) and my 555r's are already begging for mercy.

Ill post some pics when the new tires come in.

 

[RedVenom48]

Those ET Street S/S radials are a good tire. Definitely usable on the street. I love Hoosiers, but even their DOT radials are BARELY DOT legal, lol. Id confidently run S/S radials on the street. Still a Hoosier Bias ply slick man though haha
