Just takes practice man! I cant wait to get my car to the track this year. Going from a stock block hta green car to my new 2.3/hta86 should be impressive! :D It sounds like you are shifting really early? Maybe its just me.
What track is that in Mo? You're going to fly! hta86 + 2.3 = madness :lol: the tracks heartland park in topeka ks. They held a free test-n-tune so I decided to make the trip on the whim. This is the second closest track at 170 miles next to gateway at 150 miles. :( and I'm shifting 2-3 at 7200 or so. and 3-4 at 7300 or so. Not sure where I should be shifting at. |

Just work on that driving a bit and I'll be able to use your car as an example of what it can do at the track :lol: |

I was just looking at Gateways site. They are finally open again! Its about a 2hr drive for me to gateway. I am gonna head down there for one of their midnight madnesses this summer! You should come! They have re-paved the track and all. Should be real nice! |
Really impressive #'s on stock block. Good job going to track, enjoy it.

isnt 8200 to much for a stock block? nice numbers man
|
I shifted at 8k numerous times on stock block. I cant comment for anything over that though.
|
I take mine to 8500 on stock block
|
Damn. The more and more of these high HP stock block cars I see the more safer I feel about my car haha! Nice!
|
Holy CRAP does shifting higher make a difference!!!
A video from a few weeks ago shifting in the early 7's and how I shifted last night. http://youtu.be/-GVdgycrgFQ And just now shifting higher.... Caught the 1-2 1000x better too, it's kinda hard to judge when spinning. http://youtu.be/9ezyIkgoiGE I can actually keep the car in boost when shifting. Thanks a lot guys! |
And I have some springs and retainers but I figures it will be okay since the Brian Crower cams lift is higher than stock. The car really use to only see over 7500 rpm while doing pulls to 8k and in 4th gear at the track.

Nice Corey haha.. it sounds good and definitely moves.
If you want to get an idea what you can mph with vd numbers use this calculator: http://vexer.com/automotive-tools/1-...MPH-calculator i found it to be almost dead on with my car, bad evo's, and 3 other cars.. so its legit. only change the top HP flywheel until the hp @ drivewheels moves to your WHP and it will be very close. did you turn on no lift to shift yet? do it.. youll get an extra mph probably. so it could go 133 even though the calculator says 132. i could easily make your car get 620~ whp btw.. its on low boost.. that turbos capable of way more power. not sure how far you want to push the engine though. btw tsi's car is 570 on 93.. or was.. i dialed it back alittle.. with 500tq haha. on e85 his car is going to be silly. Thanks again guys. |
Thumbs up once again to Tom. Definitely no doubt in my mind you will be doing my tuning.
