Did any of your bolt on decrease your 0-60 times? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I think you meant reduce not increase 0-60 times.

I see the title has been fixed now.....

I can say i felt some on the low end for sure with the mods i have

I use torque for android to measure my 0 - 60 times. Unfortunately I don't have any runs from when the car was stock since I didn't have a smartphone at that time. After I get my ported intake manifold OJ for a little while I'm going to try some more runs.

Is there a free app for iPhone to measure this?

Just checked, and all seem to be shady/nonworking.

I haven't used torque to measure 0 to 60 yet. How accurate is it?

wow my title was an epic fail! Thanks for correcting it but I still think it needs "bolt ons" not bolt on. Just gotta make sure our upgrades make our cars faster than a Camry V6 and Accord V6.. LOL

Not sure how accurate it is, but I do like how it measures the times. It calculates the time by using GPS and also a connection via bluetooth to the car's OBDII readout. It does not user an accelerometer to measure 0 - 60 (it does use that for G-force measurements though).

I feel it is fairly close, but not spot on...maybe even a tad slow...or maybe its my driving technique lol. Again I've not tried it stock b/c I didn't have the opportunity to, but I wish I had. My best time so far is a 5.8 and that was with all mods except my Iceolator I believe....but I could be wrong there as well. Assuming 6.0 seconds to 60 is the norm for an automatic V6, then dropping 2 or 3 tenths is probably about right when you consider the amount of power my mods added.

Something else to consider...I simply can't get good traction and every launch my TC has to kick in. I know without a doubt without the tire slippage and TC stepping in to correct it the car could pull of mid to low 5s for sure.

It is easy to try out....you should give it a whirl sometime and let us know how your runs go.

good to know, wish I had done this before I got super charged..
