i went to the track i think in january in my bone stock 2001 lude and hit 15.2, and that was with a bad launch...
i launched at 5500 and shifted nearly at 8000
well, first i line up, smash the brake and gas, as soon as the third yellow light lights up i let go of the brake, i have it in 1st of course with the sport shift, i shift right befor it hits the 8 and i run consecutive 16 flat im stock i dont have any mods and wont for a while im happy with a 16 second automatic but 16.7 damn you gotta have your car hot not warm hot it you have it warm and try to shift at 8 it will do whatever you call it kick back or redline buzz ive noticed that, and always keep you foot hard on the gas full throttel if you may and i didnt take out the spare and jack if your wondering thats with the car totaly stock and with my work stuff in the back along with like 3 months issues of import tuner ans super street if that makes any difference to anybody, i havent tried it in just drive but i bet it will suck that way cause it shifts way befor redline the only advice i can really give you practice what i said and see if you car will do it ima order my zex kit 75 shot soon ill post my time with that later i know ill hit high 14's then ill add i/h/e/cams/pulleys and see where im at from there i dont really wanna make it that fast 13's would be nice though any other questions e-mail me or somethin teamzerogravity@cs.com im the president of my club so im the only one who check the e-mail oh and my jealous as girlfriend who thinks chicks e-mail me peace
Okay..thats fine....but what rpm is at when you launch... I'm having trouble understanding your 'smash on the gas and brake' launch technique.....
And SS's redline at 7400... although you bang off the rev limiter at 7600.... in a BONE STOCK SS...how do you somehow work your way around the rev limiter and shift at 8k....?!?!?!??
And did you just say you have to have your car HOT to run 16 flat...!??!?!?!?!? The colder the better (after its warmed up of course - which only takes like 4 minutes).......
ok i seem to have not explained good sorry put your foot on the brake and press down and then press the brake it will only rev it up to 2k (power brake) if youve heard of that and then you just push up to shift up around 7800 and thats it i ran 16 flat consecutivly, i mean by hot as if you car is cold it wont engage in vtec if it's hot it's not been ran alot it wont always shift at 8 it will redline and slow you down alot, it's it's been ran and hot it will alow you to hit it at 8 if any other questions post again till we get everything staight peace
doing and done all of the above, although I don't think off the line I have the pedal to the floor. I shift at 7.5 rather than 8 although my SS does let me rev all the way through, so 01xlude sorry but I don't know what you are talking about.
Also I don't think dohcside meant, have the car hot but was asking if I was running my car while it was hot. I think I'm going to the track tomorrow so I'll get back to ya'll with some times.
Peace
