More important issues? That would of been call number one to GM. I dont give a crap if anything gets done. They hear about it when they get complaints. Trust me.

lol, talk to Bonnie about that. I'm very fair but to a point. Unfortunately I have no middle temper. It's either really nice or childishly tantrum. My problem here is that I want to keep my car. I want to see if it works it's self out. At the same time I want them to test it. Last time I went to drop it off I was almost wanting them to not take it.

It won't stay that way for long but I wanted to see the progress of the build from stock to bada$$.
I have never used an I phone for data and probably never will. Nor do I care what my dyno numbers say... A dyno guy can make a pinto look good. Dyno's are for tuning and tuning only. The track doesn't lie.  |
Like I said before. I'll take fast times over higher HP.

I can tell you this I am afraid I am going to be in it one day and a Mustang is going to want to get frisky and I might just lose that battle. I don't think mine is as slow as Scott's so I am not overly concerned about a V6 Accord or a V6 Camaro with a 500 pound payload either  |
If a Mustang pulled up next to me right now I would do my best not to make eye contact. He would definately beat me.

Looking at the 60' times from a few posts up of 2.6x, I think this tells the whole story. irpq's dyno results arent' great, but IMO don't explain fully the very poor performance off the line. This is because the dyno is not done in first gear, and does not represent a launch scenario. It is a slow steady pull in one gear (4th).
Think about that 2.6x 60' time, I think I could run faster than that!  Seriously, my wife managed a 2.2x in her '01 z28 with a 2.73 rear end, and she had never been to the track before, and is no expert, believe me. When one of you guys with the slow cars gets to the track and posts measured 60' times to back up the iphone results, I think it will be clear where the issue is. I think it is mostly about the PCM limiting power from a standing start.
I know that the dyno results were goofy as well, but I don't think that explains the whole issue.
irpq11, can you repost your range of 60' times for your runs? |
Ill post them again. I'm on my phone right now. Bonnies watching tv and our computer is on our tv.
