NOT with a 2.5-2.6 60' time. That's the point.

The 1/4 mile time he is stated would be excellent for any SVT.
It's just not going to happen with such a horrible launch and 1-2 shift.

A 2.55 verses a 2.25 60' time will be nearly .5 seconds slower at the end of the 1/4 mile. So that's like stating a near stock SVT would run low 14's with a 2.1-2.2 60' time. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

That's what I've gathered from his mod list. The part I don't get is where he says that cutting the factor airbox is better than a heatshield and an open filter. The MAF screen isn't going to net an HP, 18" wheels(more than likely heavier than the stock 16"s and tires) are going to slow him down. And with a 2.55 60' time, he'd be hard pressed to break 16's!

By the way, what was your mph?

i also have a fidanza flywheel.
the factory air box is shaped like a cone around the filter. it has a small hole at the end which is connected to the little elbow which runs into the fender(99 svt). what i did is put in a k+n cone style filter and took out the screen(had to do some fabbing to make the factory adapter fit snug against the maf)then i cut in a circle about 5 inches of the black plastic housing that surounds the filter off this gives it more air and sheilds it from heat.
total cost = $45 filter/labor=free /cut finger=free

this set-up will be for sale if anyone wants it as soon as i recieve my cc cold air intake.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I've had my SVT since it was brand spankin' new. First off, you're going to want to remove that little elbow in your intake, it's a pretty big restriction of airflow! What "CAI" are you going to be running? Is it the GMK unit?

You obviously haven't paid any attention when drag racing, or you have a rigged track that gives people false hope! An 89mph trap with a 2.55 60' time would be around a 16.0-16.2! For you to run a 15.0 with the 60' time you had, you'd need to trap closer to ~96mph.

------------------------"WRONG"

As for launching, good luck with your differential. With 3500rpm launches and reving to 5000rpms, you're sure to be either clutchless of diffless.

------------------------"MAYBE"

For an optimum launch, I rev to about 2800rpms. At the line I'll let the clutch pedal out until it's almost about to grab. Once ready(when I get the green), I start to slip the clutch and rev the motor to keep the rpms at about 2800-3100rpms. Once you've got a little momentum and you've completely let out on the clutch pedal, you'll be right at the point of your secondaries opening and your powerband begins. After that you're on your own.
