My 0-100 kmph time and question.

My mods are: HKS downpipe, HKS racing suction, HKS hi-power catback, and custom ground kit. I will soon get a cat-delete from ultimate AND a flash from AL!!!!! This night, I tried 0-100kmph times again. My times before with only the intake with 3K launch and two people and easy shifts was 6.92 seconds. My time tonight was 5.52 seconds with a 3500rpm launch (I bogged a little too), three people, and some stuff in the trunk. I should've probably gotten under 5 with a 6K launch, just myself and emptied trunk do you think?

Went to neutral and brakes. Set the HKS turbo timer to 0-100 kmph timer. 1st gear and revved to 3500 rpm, did a slip drop, bogged a bit, went to 6900 rpm then clutch in, threw into second, and then stepped on it, then at 6800 rpm threw into 3rd gear. Would I have a much faster time if I kept it in second over the redline? I am wondering how much approx. wheel hp I got from factory. I really need the flash done by Al soon. My car feels so slow even with a 0-60 of 5.52. AND MY BUMPER is turning black!!!

Yeah that 0-62 is about a tenth slower than a real 0-60. What are you doing even trying to test your 0-60'ish time with people in the car anyhow? Get down with a 1/2 tank of gas, no **** in the trunk, no passengers, THEN try it. 3500rpm feathered launch shifting at or beyond redline will likely net you a much better time.

Why are you shifting @ 6800?

F = MA

More mass = Less Acceleration
