Driver mod + gears = ???

[slowtealz28]

Over a one second drop in ET. Previous best was a 12.89@112mph. New best is an 11.80@118mph. Only been to the track twice on the new setup, there is definitely more in it. Best 60' is 1.74, old best was a 1.88. With a linelock I should easily dip into the 1.6x and possibly into the 11.60's or maybe even 11.50's. Not bad for 331/343.

Not bad at all for the power your putting down but driver mod kinda sucks...
what else is done to it

i mean if it was my car i would spend days on end trying to learn how to drive my car to the fullest potential, at least thats what i do with all my rides lol

Mods are vararam intake, ported stock TB, LS6 intake, longtubes, catback, clutch, built drivetrain.

Leave higher/slip longer/bang faster/never lift = problem solved

Numbers seem low for a I/E C5 but im sure elevation has a play in that

 

[slowtealz28]

The dyno numbers are low. The track times back them up and then some. Only two 6-speed guys faster than me with bolt-ons.

Nice runs OP! Car runs great for the mods. Driving isn't too shabby either.

You picked up 6mph with a set of gears? i am missing something. Your car is also MPHing what a stock LS6 Z06 MPHs and they dyno in the 370 area. How much does your car weigh?

And your car isnt that far down on power. You are making what a most make without claiming to be a factory freak car.

 

[4u 2 nv]

are you having trouble heating the tires up? if not how would a line-lock help?

 

[slowtealz28]

Yeah I picked up 6mph with a set of gears and a transmission that was built to be beat on. My stock trans was all messed up, the 1-2 synchros were shot not allowing me to shift quickly. I don't know what my car weighs, but its about as heavy as a C5 gets because of the Z51 option. Full weight - GTO spares.

As for no lift shifting, I have tried it with only about a .05 difference. Not worth the extra stress on the trans IMO. And yes I am having trouble heating up the tires, so a line-lock would definitely help. Here's a link to how bad my stock trans was.

FWIW I went from regular radials of a 2.01 60' to slicks and went 1.62. I also tested powershifting vs just fast shifting and I dropped .41.

So with a total of 8 tenths reduction I could see close to a full second for the OP... depending on the weather conditions of the OP's runs.

 

[slowtealz28]

Not sure why people question it. If you listen to the shifting in the first vid vs the second, you can tell theres probably a few tenths there. Then the launch is like a 2.05 down to a 1.74. That's three tenths in the first 60', and probably a .45 reduction.

Ya I wasn't gonna mention that but I could have gotten my wife to make me a ham sammich between those shifts! jfwy.

needs more practice

 

[slowtealz28]

Or maybe I should give it to you to drive, I'm sure you can go faster than 11.80. After all, it's easy, right?

 

[truebluedevil02]

I would say its a solid run, its definitely got a little more in it but not bad at all. Dont forget, everyone on SVTP is a pro driver who date supermodels, owns Microsoft, taught chuck Norris everything he knows, and PIIHB every night. I would say this run is better than what 85-90% of the SVTP community could pull out so not bad at all.

 

[BayareaSS]

Nice runs. Driving seems pretty good to me. Most guys on this site don't have good times for their mods lol

With only 320rwhp it's not a cake walk. I'm definately shifting like I'm trying to break it...and actually I am. I'm on my 3rd tranny with only 49k miles on the clock.

Never said it was easy. Powershifting is an art. 118 traps is easily 11.50 territory with a mid 1.5 to low 1.6 60'.

What was the 1/8 ET? Mine went 7.51 at 91.6
