What you have to do is compare the HP you are making in the current gear to the HP you would be making in the lower gear. It depends on the car, but the ideal shiftpoint is usually 500-1000 rpm past peak power. Even though the horsepower is down a bit after the 5900 peak, it will be much lower in the next gear as the engine will be down around 4000 rpm. You are right that you can feel this decrease in acceleration once you pass peak power, but you will still be better off staying in that gear (to a point). The longer you hold the gear, the higher rpm you start off at in the next gear as well, so it can make a big difference, depending on the car.

Very nice. A mirror of the magazine tests.

damn nice!! 37PSI in the rears, 2300DA and a 13.07 is awesome.

do you have a modding plan?

You ran 13.0 flat in 90 degree humid air?
Thats really fast for those conditions.

Yessir. I was also surprised. I went hoping for 13.3s in the heat, since the last bone stock one I tested at Hennessey's track only went 13.5s in the heat. That first car only had ~300 miles on it, and the track wasn't as sticky though. Mine had over 1,000 miles on it, and I've gotten familiar with the car and clutch/tranny. Plus, I tend to avoid beating on other people's cars too much, that is why I buy my own.

Even more interesting is that the car seems to get quicker if you do 2-3 consecutive runs without cool-down. The 4th runs went slower, too much heat soak and the coolant temps reach 220-221F on the 4th run in a row. Seems the sweet spot was coolant temps in the 200-212F range. Did one run at 186F coolant temp, and it only went 13.3.

Nice work Tony.....Something is headed your way to help lower those E.T.s'

SGOS252382 · 06-15-2009, 04:12 PM

Your time needs to be added to the fastest 1/4 mile times list.

We also need to update the format and get that thing going. The 1st page of the thread should have the track times on it. Anyone?

Solid report, thanks!

67champ · 06-17-2009, 09:43 AM

Outstanding runs!!! Thanks for the report. Why are the camaros with automatic transmissions SOOOOOO much slower? Also, does it make sense to anyone that our new camaros would run quicker times after say 1000+ miles break-in and and maybe an oil change than brand new off the the lot and maybe 100 miles...? Thanks,

PS I was expecting the automatics to be a little slower, not almost a second slower in the 1/4 mile...?

what do you mean?
New Era ran a bone stock A6 SS and came home with a slip for a 13.3

67champ · 06-18-2009, 11:03 AM

I missed the numbers from New Era, where is that posted? I dont recall reading any L99 automatics with low 13's yet (stock). I have seen several manual transmission Camaro in that range though... The one I saw at my local drag strip went a BEST of 13.66 I think. I seen numbers from others in the 13.80-14.30 range. There are a lot of questions on TM, TC and tuning... They look Great no matter what they are running!

Hylton · 06-18-2009, 11:06 AM

Tony - did you notice the computer "blipping" the throttle?
