Its worth pointing out the the Performance box is way more accurate and far safer to use than a stop watch and speedo.
This thing measures down to 0.01 of a mph so don't be surprised if the Performance box times look slower than the stop watch method. It would be great to see how the P box compares to the official Santa Pod timing gear at the strip, from an accuracy point of view.
Also I think 1320 and Big show have played down quite how wet it was! It was chucking it down and pretty cold too, no powerful FWD cars would have had a chance setting any decent times that night!
Pre pistonring/head replacement it did a rough (very rough) 6 seconds on a not so flat road.
Thats with 226bhp but a rough 20bph loss to oil detonation.
So once I dig out a stopwatch ill report back on how the new times differ
I did a few 3rd gear runs today with a stopwatch and averaged around 6.1/6.2 seconds, I think it could get better times with more accurate timing and flat roads. The sluggish pickup is overwhelming tho as 30 is just below the power band
2nd gear 30-70 however was amazing, it did a 3.9, 4, 4.1 but the wet roads meant some slippage
Hello! Your official 3rd gear time was 5.9 but I reckon on a perfectly flat piece of road you'd get that down a bit. Congrats on the power run and on the mental rpm rev limit .
Nice one. I need to get my graph up on here but my digital camera cant get a clear picture of the numbers and the graph lines.
Hit some big traffic on the way back, took me 4 hours to get home
Had a good day though
Did I forget to say that 5.2 is with a stock dirty s filter and S exhaust sytem
If I had Luca ecu my 2nd gear time would be quick, you dont know how luckey you are Luca I've been waiting for my rpm limit to be moved up to that region all year
It's not how much you spend but how well you spend it
Its an 02 with recon gearbox. 15%, MTH on V-Power Tune, Alta CAI, Janspeed Mani with 120CPSI cat, milltek cat back, It did 226bhp @ 1320s with dodgy piston rings and oil detonation, since then its been fixed and is pulling even harder.
Please bare in mind this is with a stopwatch and ultimatley has human error so take with a pintch of salt until real times can be taken
