Only one more thing we need to know about 5 speedracers' run and that is his 60 foot time.

Anything in the 2.5-2.7 range is horrible and would mean he could hit low 16's with a decent 2.3XX launch.

Thanks for the update, I have not been around much but with all you guys getting the 08's my interest is peaking again.

I plan to go to the track on July 7th I beleive that I should join the 16 second Class I have a CVT so wish me luck. Gotta work on the Rection time with the automatic. If I floor it right away it might not go anywhere fast.

 

Sweet. I'll be looking forward to seeing the CVT numbers. I really wish I had more time to hit the racetracks.

 

Yeah, ive actually found that the more you floor it the less responsive it comes to the flooring tactic, its like its trying to combat speeding GL at the track get them numbers!

 

^^ wahhoo good luck. CVT FTW

 

My 60' time was 2.356.

60' 2.356
330 6.97
1/8 10.726
MPH 65.60
1000 13.926
1/4 16.593
MPH 85.12

 

Ok that settles it.

Nice run!!!!!

Not much more you can squeeze out of these stock then

let's see who breaks into the 15s within the next few weeks/months.

 

track day June 29th. I'll be taking the CVT down there, I got RRM intake and exhaust so we'll be able to see the difference that the upgrades have made.

 

Considering launch capability i expect the CVT to come in at less than the 5speed :/

 

cool. i have the same mods and tranny. will you be running it with both the auto and manual or just one? low 16s is what i think...

 

I dunno, i smell a 17... if i had mine id go to the track. What you have to do is test it in multiple ways, those being:

1. Full auto
2. Full Manual
3. Auto then to manual right after hitting the gas (i dunno why but it seems to give it alittle better boost for me)
4. Manual to 4kish RPMs or wherever is best then pop it to auto and itll constantly adjust the gear ratio to keep those RPMs thus killing shift time if done correctly... atleast thats what i think would happen and how it was explained in a previous post iirc.

Do it and let us know!

 

i dont know if i'll get four chances, lines down here are always a killer on midnight madness. definently doint full manual and manual to auto. and then if i get another shot i'll see what i'll do next

 

MT driver 4 life here, the CVT seems like it is complicated and could present an obstacle to 1/4 times.

 

tomorrow is the day! make sure to post up those numbers.
