7500-7700 max on the stock bottom end. Stock turbo I would keep it at 7K in every gear.

 

Do any of you guys have a 1st to 2nd gear shift grind?

 

Yes, I do if I try to shift too fast. Not sure yet if it really is me shifting too fast or if I just don't have the clutch all the way down when I try to engage second.

 

He he... I told you The car is stock. It has a 9" K&N Cone.. not really an intake, stock intake and all plumbing. I just removed the air box and made a metal circle to bolt up to the MAF and stuck a cone on it. I guess I missed all the racing the season, I got out and auto crossed once which was a blast and i was one of the fastest on the track without slicks so that made me happy. I now have a full 3" turbo-back exhaust with no cat and an AFC and a datalogger... I am going to make a new datalogger so if anyone wants to buy mine give me a call at 608-628-0254.

I need to get an intake and intercooler plumbing and some cams... I might wait for the plumbing until I can afford a whole new intercooler but I will get that and have it reflashed by the time I can race it again. Who knows what else will be done by then. Did you have your car dynoed before and after the Vishnu **** was in? Im curious to see how much of a gain you got. Thanks!

 

BTW... another strange thing I noticed that is strange, my 60 foot time and my quartermile trap speed were both better than yours but you had a better ET than me. I guess that answers my question about when to shift

 

I posted that before I talked to you.

Did not dyno the car before and after the Xede install, but noticed a reasonable gain.. Although I don't think you can really use my car as a good test base... I have come to the conclusion that it still isn't right. It seems that I'm running horribly rich still (I was when I was stock too), and have a lack of top end power. I ran against a friend with a completely stock evo, and I got away ahead of him due to RT, but he said that in the midrange it looked like I had more power than him, but in the top end he was pulling on me hard. Which is shown by the difference in MPH, I ran a 13.7 @ 97.8, whereas he got a 13.6 @ 101.8!!

How rich my car is running is also evident in the fact that the other car has a nice yellow bumper, and mine is all black.

 

Thanks to some shifting lessons from Doug at TOP SPEED I shift at 7800 to 8000.
11.9 @ 118 on stock turbo and 93 octane pump gas.

 

before i had my cams i shifted as close to 8000 as i could get with my works P2 flash. but after my cams i try to shift before 7500. until i get my valve springs/ retainers and arp head studs in.
