Here are the details from today's trip.
- I am no longer a believer in AFM. Had it on the way to the track, 24.2 mpg. Disabled it on the way back, 23.6 mpg. On, I noticed surging, without it, smooth as silk. And don't get me started on the annoying rattle (made worse by my cat-back and shorties/midpipes). So, buh bye AFM! - Light, steady rain on the way home. My Nitto 555R drag radials handle it no problem at 70 mph. But after I get 50 passes, then I won't be doing that any more. - Out of the box, first pass, I ran a 12.308 @ 112.69, 1.706. Next up a 12.228 @ 112.95, 1.695. I was happy then and could have gone home. - But I decided to experiment with the VVT and PE tables. No results. So I decided to fine-tune the spark. Some advance in the 2000-3000 range, pulled some at peak torque, and smoothed out the table. Most of the runs were in the 12.2's @ 112 with 1.6-1.7 sixties. The results, 8th run of the day, as above (timeslip attached): Sixty: 1.653 330: 5.021 1/8: 7.799 @ 88.66 1/4: 12.191 @ 112.89 Am I happy? Next up, 3.45's and maybe a trip to the track next Sunday.

Do you have a recent race weight?

No, but I guessed 3950 pounds with me in it. That's based on 3913 stock weight -50lbs exhaust -50lbs wheels/tires -25lbs battery -25lbs misc +160lbs me. +1/4 tank of gas, +30lbs of tools in the car.
Mas o menos. Padre |

I just notice this. I picked up Dynolicious from the App Store for my IPhone. Tried it out on this run:
Couple of things: 1. I used an input weight of 4000lbs. 2. Dayum that thing is accurate! 3. The shift points show me where I can hopefully tweak some more HP. 4. 4.6 0-60 (if I read it right) isn't shabby! 5. How do you like my name for the car? Hehe. Padre

Ummmm, I was gonna tell you mine ran 13.59 @110.1 on that app because its supposed to be super accurate....but I figured id get the bs flag. Btw, that was with just a tune a vararam. My 60 foot was a dismal 2.5 seconds and I let off right before the run was over. I honestly feel like I have one of those "freak" cars. Out if all the l99 cars I've test drove, the one I bought felt a hell of alot faster. Who knows?

I'll run it again on some better concrete and I won't let out this time and I'll see what it does. I added a ported throttle body after that run.

What are you thinking of about the shift points? Not that I'm always a maven for mph, but I was thinking that you'd be seeing 112-113... Does the pcm lock up your converter in 3rd?

Btw, I'm loving this thread. Padre, it looks like you gained almost the same from the Shorties and midpipes the same as full lengths, no?

The 3200 torque converter adds something to the equation that I'm not enough of an expert at. It works fine now. In the past (in my WRX and my GTO), I have tried commanding lock-up in 3rd and did gain MPH, but on the above graph, it would look like another shift. Just looking at that chart, I noticed the dip in HP on the shift, and as importantly, the length of the dip. So on one run, I tried subtracting more time on the desired shift time, but I didn't notice a change. You can only "desire" so much shift time, I suppose. Maybe I can add more pressure. Last month, with the torque converter first installed, I had to add time on the 1-2 shift, because it "gulped" on the shift (commanded throttle position even dropped). So adding time cleared that up. Basically, from my experience, I do suspect that commanding lock-up in 3rd would gain me less than 1 mph. But I haven't tried it formally on this setup yet. Timing adjustments have helped me fine tune the car more than the initial transmission tune. Padre |

I suspect the gulp you experienced may be the same thing I get when running the traction control on. If I launch with it on and then tap it off real quick it doesn't do it. My barks the tires pretty hard and I'm thinking that's the issue
