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"

No... that was right.. a trap of 95-96 would be REQUIRED to pull off a 15.0x with a 2.5x 60'.. plain and simple.

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"

not a maybe.. your differential is SCREAMING at you to take it easy.

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.

3: ------------------"YOU RUN ? W/ 3.0L???"

1: Bold statement you've made there. First off, YES you are WRONG! You will NOT run a 15.0 with a 2.55 60' time. I now see that you've changed your mind on what you ran, and conveniently changed your 60' time to a 2.25. When you want to come back with your timeslip, we'll talk.

2: Maybe? You're not talking to a newbie that's never broken a part on his car! You're talking to someone that frequents the dragstrip probably 10-12 times a year, blown a motor, 2 trannies, etc.. I know what it takes to break parts!

3: I ran a 14.4 with my 3.0L. Can't wait to hear what you've got to say about that!

Again, when you want to come back with FACTS, and not made up BULLSH!T, we'll talk. Until then, STFU!

TourdeForce sent me an email as to why exactly those plugs arent good. It made sense and I wont buy them again, but I just put them in about 500 miles ago. If I start to notice a problem Ill change them out for some Autolites, as he suggested.
Im about 45 minutes from Norwalk Raceway. You?
