Slow_Stang · April 11th, 2010, 07:20 PM

hey guys, last year i was running 13.6 @ 105 with a 2.2 60', now i have slicks,4:10's,full length sub frames, and my a/c deleted, and i weigh 30 lbs lighter. lol. and i can only pull off a, 13.585 @ 99, with a 1.80 60'. i was shifting at 6100-6400, it feels like my car is a dog in top of 2nd,3rd and 4th. any Opinions would be great.

my mods:
bbk 78mm throttle/plenum
s&b CAI
steeda pulleys
slicks 26x10.5 on 8 inch aluminum rims.
frpp aluminumm drive shaft
sub frames
rear lower control arms
4:10 gears
sct 93+ tuned
steeda short throw shifter
slp loudmouths
mac off/road x-pipe
little wight reduction.

60'... 1.807
330... 5.545
1000... 11.309
1/4 13.585
MPH... 99.53

lol what were you expecting by dropping 30 lbs?

MyGT · April 11th, 2010, 07:23 PM

bad clutch?

Triton03 · April 11th, 2010, 07:25 PM

Congrats. I'd still be happy with that run.

What was your R/T?

How did you hook 1st and 2nd gear with the slicks?

sharkbait · April 11th, 2010, 07:25 PM

Maybe with your mods you lost some top end and gain bottom end?

After those mods you only gained maybe 10-15rwhp

Bullitt5339 · April 11th, 2010, 07:40 PM

Well, you lost 6mph so you're definately giving up power somewhere. If the clutch is slipping, that'll do it.

SteviGX · April 11th, 2010, 07:41 PM

Why in the hell are you reving that high dude. Do you have cams? your car stops making power aroudn 5300...so you have 1000rpms essentialy of making shit for power. There you go.

HotRodGT · April 11th, 2010, 07:44 PM

maybe its your forum name

Your car is dogging out at the top of each gear cause you don't make any power revving up that high on the stock cams. Shift around 5500-5800 and you will be in the low 13s with that same 60ft.

are you serious... shit!. no cams.

Supra · April 11th, 2010, 07:50 PM

I shift at 5800 at most.

mustanginky · April 11th, 2010, 07:51 PM

the 4.10's and slicks helped tremendously with your 60' #'s. and you're revving too high. perhaps it was hotter today than your best runs last year too.

tbirdscwd · April 11th, 2010, 07:52 PM

Dead effing serious. I would say shift around 5800 for the 1-2 and the 2-3 shift and shift at 5500 into 4th. Your power drops like a rock right around 5500

mell0 · April 11th, 2010, 08:02 PM

yep. without significant mods shift at 5500-5800.

RFM 40th V6 · April 11th, 2010, 08:11 PM

I shift around 5700 and I ran a 14.0 with shitty street tires spinning most of 1st, cai, tb/plenum, x pipe and catback.

I can only assume that the temperatures were higher than last time and that you're over revving. A clutch is unlikely but still a possibility.

JerseyTrueBlue · April 11th, 2010, 08:13 PM

It's definatly the shifting man, I didn't even know our motors rev that high! Where the hell is the limiter?

Bingo. Found the problem right there.

RFM 40th V6 · April 11th, 2010, 08:15 PM

I thought it was at 6100. Either way I think that's too high for a stock engine to rev too.
