I'm switching from an Exedy twin to a tilton to lower my MOI. In return it will improve my shift times and subsequently hold boost better between the gears. The twin slipped pretty bad in 3rd and 4th gear @ 480whp. :/

Nice numbers Macaroni! I did 480 on C16 w/out cams I'll have the magnus on tomorrow and looking for dyno time this weekend!

Hmm, seeing as most of the Evo guys I know are Evo VIII guys, it just might be the 100lb weight difference thats the determining factor? You're probably in the 380whp range on a DJ so.....assuming you are putting it all down to the wheels still, I'd think you'd be trapping a little higher MPH still :shrug:

Time to stop eating that fast food i guess? LOL The gearing on the ix are also shorter than the 8 maybe another reason keeping me out of the 11s? Might need more power to hit 11s i think?

Its not the gearing. Mine was bone stock IX gearing and it went the 11.56 with basic mods.

when i ran that 12.1 i made 381 on a dj and 332whp on a mustang. now a friend of mine with a 8 with meth made 381whp and 390wtq and also ran 12.1 with the same mph as me. This confuses me. He should be running faster since he has 2nd 3rd and 4th gear than me?

You were lifting on every shift on that run?

Yes, lifted every gear. I have never ever used the NLTS method I do not think its worth the risk.

i guess the key is on how much you lift your foot off the gas pedal in between shifts. When i look at my logs i see -10psi between shifts. Not sure if im taking my foot off the gas to much or to long?

Thanks man! If you got cams and switched to Q16, you would probably be around the 550-570hp area. (I low ball all my expectations for my car so no matter what I'm not let down haha)
