Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

[scheides]

You sound defeated man! 11.4 is pretty epic on such a basic setup IMHO, be happy! Plus you got to actually rip down the track at all...enjoy the times you've had and just keep having fun.

[Tachyon]

I can't remember, are you currently on a small 16g?

"I know on slicks, I could do a 11.2, maybe an 11.1 on a good track, but without more power or a lot less weight I just don't know."

I pulled of an 11.2 with almost the same setup as you. There is more in it the way it sits, why not leave at higher boost?

Damn it, I was getting there the last few passes i was leaving at 1 more psi each time. I forgot you did an 11.29, i thought u did a ton of 11.40s

I actually missed it but my fastest pass was 11.42@120, I guess I do have more left in this. :woot:

[Tachyon]

What needs to be done to hit 1.5's on the autobox?

Needless to say, get the 60' down and you'll be barking at 10's

Nope, EF1.

[Halon]

Looks like some good times to me. When you raced it, did you leave it full street weight or take some crap off like exhaust, seats, etc?

I did a 1.59 the last time I was out, but I only made an 1/8th mile pass. 7.1@97mph. That was my best 1/8th mile pass.

Nice, I guess its doable then, I'll have to change up some shifting points maybe and look at the tune a bit more.

The times are ok, but nothing to write home about.
I left everything in place, I'm not like the honda guys pulling everything out possible.
Plus I like to run it as it is on the street so I know what it does for the most part.

[munchgsx]

Any videos of your passes?

Lol, running low 11's (knocking on 10's door) in a fairly full weight DSM with a stock frame turbo, is no big deal now a days? There's people with 62mm's running similar times (me included in my old Talon). I must be out of the loop, because I'd be proud...

Who says I am not proud?, there are a few people doing this not a lot but there are people doing it, the only reason I am not ecstatic is because the car has a more in it, the prior track passes and even todays abandoned pass show that. I just expect a lot I guess.

I don't care about the people who can't drive there setup's or wanted cars that were better at freeway pulls.

I ordered a 9" electric fan for my trans cooler last week and it showed up today and I got an orange gear display. I'm also pretty sure that I'm going to get rid of my custom programmed/chipped TCU and do the kiggly mod also.

[blackawdtsi]

You're gunna fry your clutches often driving on the street the way you like to if you kiggly mod.

[turbotalon1g]

NO I'm not cool enough for anyone to just give me a go-pro and I don't own a vid camera or camera person.

[93gtpeater]

I think I took some with brads phone. I took a bunch vids with his phone. Ask brad

[turbotalon1g]

^Thanks man. I'd love to have any pics or vids anyone ever takes of my car.

[C3L1CA]

This was the only video I found on my phone. The gf might have gotten a couple too, I'll check with her tomorrow.

Only pic I have too.

[blackawdtsi]

Sorry I should've said *could*. You know me n know I just started learning about autos. If Nick or Carl says differently, I might listen to them .

But I did come across this video a while back. I'll warn ya the guys camera skills suck. skip to 1:30

[turbotalon1g]

I just need to find a ratchet shifter and make sure that they can downshift in the same manner they upshift then i will get it done.

[blackawdtsi]

Now that I think about it, high power with low pressure allowing the clutches to slip too much might cause that guys problem. I'll PM Kiggly n see what he says.

[tehehodi]

Shift box?
