Yea, my bad, looking at my work in progress VE table it reaches highest close to 4500 - 5000 rpm and the drops as rpm rise (in my setup anyway). So I guess the main cause for the lower boost at drag runs is the much higher rpm starting point for each gear. NLTS can be set to be like a mini launch for each gear! I´m also trying to set that up for my next time at the drag strip.

Good luck,

Ricardo

 

rpm ve drops at higher rpm on most sd cars ive tuned.. so i dunno. but seriously if youre going to continue with your smart comments do not comment in here again.

you seen all the results ive put out on this forum.. i dont need to prove myself to anyone. i had 3 cars at the shootout that ran low/mid 10's on stock ecu with under 600whp.

 

What smart comments? I was explaining why you had "less" boost when doing drag runs. It had nothing to do with mysterious "missing" boost, elevation, different locations, the track, etc. I was trying to show you the spoon instead of spoon feeding you the answer.

It's normal because you are in higher RPM and you stay there in drag type runs. Now you know that. Knowing is half the battle, yada yada.

Here is a smart comment:

Why didn't you know that being a "tuner"? Especially one that tunes other peoples car over the interweb?

id like to get the 10 sec pass with lifting then go from there. nlts definitely would help but my goal is anything over 130mph and 10's without any assist other then a 2 step.

i think i read people shaving off .2-.3 off their times using nlts.

 

Interested in seeing your final clutch choice...Believe it or not I have been running an ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch & fidanza flywheel for 40k miles in my 6 spd...I have beat the crap out of my trans & clutch...AutoX, road course, 200+ launches on the street & 1/4 mile with my 2 step no lower then 6k...I hated the clutch for the first couple weeks but after that I was able to drive it like a stock clutch...Only had lock out issues going into 2nd gear the first time I went to the track and then never again...4th gear in my 6 spd has been grinding on high rpm up shifts for 30k miles (60k miles on it now) & now my input shaft bearing is going bad & it pretty loud...I haven't even tried to street tune the car in the past couple months before the knock sensor is picking up my input shaft bearing noise. I've run as fast as 11.48 @ 121 with my mild stock block setup & my 6 spd...It seems that Shep & the other trans companies recommend the Exedy Twin HDs to customers...I have already purchased the full STM SS clutch line & Clutch Fork Stop but I don't know how I feel about the Exedy twin, 1) I don't want to deal with the wave spring popping off like you & so many other people have had issues with...2) I don't want to have to rebuild or replace it after 15k miles...I may look into the clutch Mr. Brown is using...It seems there are so many different clutches available to us now...

 

Once you get your clutch fixed you should have no problem running a high to mid 10 with some ninja lift shifting...Have you weighed your car Tom? Sorry for all the off topic posts.....

 

none of these comments are necessary period.. that is the bottom line. you are just making yourself look very unprofessional and immature right now.

its one thing to help somebody, but when you're going to put them down when doing so you are really being immature.

please just stop it and be a normal human being and help someone without putting them down.

you are entitled to your own opinion about me, but keep it to yourself if its negative.

just because someones a tuner doesnt mean they know everything. clearly im a perfect example here.

i do not need to be a genius with engines to make good hp/tq from customer cars.. that is pretty obvious at this point. you may know more then me regarding how things work, but that doesnt give you the right to be cocky towards me and put me down.

lets just end this now.. you know more then i do.. i honestly do not mind that. you're probably older, and have been doing things longer then me as well. with experience comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes power.. but you are just abusing your power at this point by putting me down.

 

But someone that calls themself a "tuner" should know the BASICS, like your boost is lower in high RPMs during 1-4 gear pulls aka drag style pulls.

Thats what Bryan is getting at.

 

it was around 3600lbs at ohio with the 11.3 @ 121 run. i had 24 gallons of e85 in the trunk during that run.

im 130lbs myself without the helmet on. im not a big person at all. the laptop was in the car and some other misc stuff floating around also.

i seriously dont care what anyone says in this thread go off topic all you want, aside from rude comments.

 

Ok.

Consider yourself having no spoons from me then. I'll keep my silverware for others from now on.

I bid you more interesting voyages in your future. Oh and look in the mirror and read your post above too. It's a good one.

 

ya and you know damn well i know boost tapers at higher rpm.. i just got confused because im not used to logging my car at a drag strip thats all it boils down to.

no big deal.

good info in this thread!

we have tension between us and it never works out no matter what happens..i think because when i first entered this forum i acted like a know it all and that got on your nerves. now atleast you can clearly see i shifted my ways and do not think that anymore. so i may take things you say the wrong way a lot of times. remember its text, it can be read out of context very easily. im sure if i met you in person we would be just fine.

 

I was told that if i just used additional wave clips and a better clutch stop like stm's then i would be fine. i like my twin hd, but it started to slip recently when it was cold. when its warm it still holds lots of torque tho.

ya you have lots of experience, and your times are really nice man. there are a lot of clutches for sure.. i noticed theres a lot of the same bran clutch company using multiple brands like the os giken and exedy. they are made by the same place i believe.
