      • Well it does burnouts - tapped the limiter @ wot so some minor tweaks there and some idle tuning need to be sorted out.

        • Learning the art of trying to get the trans to shift in time :x

          Looks like there is 1000rpm of shift extension

          1st gear is spin city -

          Forgot how fun a stalled auto is

          Don't want to wear out my test spots so I'm calling it quits for tonight.

            • Looks like around 6% slip @ 6800rpm so I should be good.

              Doesn't shift firm, but it's nice and quick.

              Just need to fill the bottles and head to the track next weekend

              • Ran it today.

                11.7@116 on the engine - mid 1.6 60'
                11.3@123 on a 100 shot - low 1.6 60'
                10.8@127 on a 150 shot - low 1.6 60' - best of 1.55

                boo

                Looks like 12% slip on the hose

                Trans needs a fan on the cooler

                So 2500ft DA - 1st time out with the auto and I'm 2 tenths and 6mph down. So it's not a complete loss.

                60ft got better as I lowered the window activation but I think the suspension needs some tweaks. 2-3 shifted late as well I fixed it on the 100hit but it needs a couple mph taken out of it.

                Need to call PTC on monday and see what they think on the slip - I'm sure the 60ft will work out with some seat time and tweaks.

                          4.56s? I have 26x10.5 ET streets and the best I've gotten so far has been a high 1.8. I'm thinking it's in the tire.

                          • 4.56's on the engine then I went to 4.11's for spray.

                            26x11.5 et streets never worked for me - never got below a 1.7

                            Mine would just fold the sidewalls on the hit.

                            • oh and [MENTION=254]JoeliusZ28[/MENTION] - my ecoboost got 17mpg pulling my car to and from the track. The route I take is hilly and the cruise was set @ 58mph.

                              • 60' needs work. Get it to hook on the spray and there is no reason it shouldn't go 1.3x, Jeffs car went 1.45 with 440hp and 3650lbs! Find a few MPH, go 1.3x, and get that 9 second slip!

                                O and switch to a 275/60/15 Pro radial and don't look back!
