Suddenly I want a 3rd gen maro


Edit: Love the placement of WOT-TECH

I got a set of 4.11 gears from 9bolt.com and was happy with them. Cost about $450 after shipping to Canada. Made a huge difference for driveability with the 6-speed and cut .5 sec off my 1/4 mile time

[Mars]

3.27 gear isn't helping my launch also.

My torque converter was designed (built) for a 454 BBC also so that may be why it will push past the brakes at 3100 RPM, instead of staying loose to 5000...

Not convinced it's a weight transfer thing at all cause the car doesn't spin the tires or have traction issues at all, it just plain makes no power for the first hundred feet.

Sidenote, my stutterbox arrived today, install tomorrow

That car is an auto, 4500 stall if I remember correctly. Making roughly 275-ish at the wheels. It's not always about power, it's about weight transfer. I could do 2 flat with my old 3.1 iron head and dry rotted street tires lol.

[Mars]

yeah for sure, then I need an upgraded rear end and likely a much better suspension setup. I'd be happy with a 1.6 without a brake.

Even just having the 1.6 would put me at a 10.80

[dskopek]

what about a trans brake?

That's what I was thinking, could load the motor to almost any boost/rpm point you want. 5000 rpm and 12 pounds boost= SMOKE!!!!! But if you can get it to hook up, what a ride!

what about a trans brake?

[Mars]

That's a stick car though isn't it ?

The issue with mine is that the stall works correctly when the turbo is spooled, but when it's not,it stalls at 3100 RPM (200HP) then when the turbo spools (4-500 HP) the stall comes in the correct 5000RPM.

I can't foot brake it to 5000 cause it just goes through the brakes at 3100.

I hope the stutter box will hold 3100 at around 8 psi, then that'll be like a 200HP gain and hopefully enough to launch better.

[ForcedFirebird]

Yeah but my bud landed a 12.2et with a stock 3800 with a cam and suspension upgrades (Pure Stock Class)

1.65 60'

Trust me, a few things you can do to drop that time by a ton.

[Mars]

haha oh it doesn't even try to spin, it's all hookup. No weight back there at all, don't need it.

The car has a aftermarket panhard bar, tubular rear lower control arms and all poly bushings, is about it. Eibach springs and billstein shocks.

[ForcedFirebird]

Need to drop that short time and you will be in the 10's.

How is your suspension set up? Do you have weight in the rear bumper?

[Mars]

A stutter box will eliminate it.

[caffeine]

Think a ball bearing gt35r-sized turbo might get rid of that lag?

Edit to add: with a twin-scroll t4 exhaust housing of course

[Mars]

takes too long to spool the journal bearing turbo.

1.9XX sixty foot is OK for a N/A 3.5L making 200HP (which is my car for the first 70 feet) LOL.
