the stock 5.0s are pretty quick man. a buddy of mine was running 14.2, 14.1 etc while i was running 14.4, 14.5. hes probably a better driver than i am though, he just sticks launches and im still spinning a bit off the line.

I have taken my car out to the strip a couple of times and I seem to keep running into problems missing second. I was wondering if any of you had similar issues. I don't know if I'm shifting too fast, or perhaps at the wrong RPM. I'd like some input from you all on what you think.
P.S. I had a Hurst shifter installed before the second time racing and I normally shift right at redline. |

Is it grinding and not going into 2nd?

It did one of the time, but that's cuz I basically forced it. It feels like it's locking the gear out. I checked out that "www.rangeracceleration.com" site, so I'm going to check my fluid for clutch dust and see if that helps.

Some members here have said that shifting too quickly will not allow the syncros to properly line up, thus not letting the car shift to 2nd gear. I've had this problem many times at the strip. I haven't looked into the fluid issue.

Finally got my car to the track last weekend for the first time. Ran pretty consistent, with a best of 13.6 @ 108.93. I'm happy with my MPH, but was hoping for a better ET. Damn 20's slowin me down too much, hard to get a good launch too. And the 60' times glitched on my last 2 (and best 2!) runs, which I'm hoping they were a high 2.2 but may have been 2.3's. I have a K&N CAI and Diablo Sport tune. 2SS M6 LS3. Here's my best 3 runs.

Im still not sure of that tune of yours though.... After we were out of the hole I kept running you down. But I think we should start with pressure and go from there.. Now the big question.... another Saturday or Friday. Plus its been 3 years since we have been down to the track..... I know we both need to work on our launching. I used to pull 1.8 in the thirdgen with 235s Last edited by Steve83ta; 09-16-2011 at 02:06 PM. Reason: add |
