Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance request for 4k to 6.5k RPM time data

I'm still thinking my car is down on power despite dyno data - nowhere near the 0 to 60 MPH times I keep seeing reported. If anyone wants to try something new and provide me with a few data points, I'm looking for 4k RPM to 6.5 RPM times - stay in 2nd gear the whole time, cruise along at 4k RPM, then punch the accelerator and measure time til pass 6.5k RPM - takes the driver (i.e. launch and gear changes) out of the picture. I'm seeing 3.3 to 3.4s times despite KKM and 2.5" cat back on a non-SVT - dynoed with just KKM at 154 HP - exhaust didn't improve the times.

I am having a similar problem with CSVT, I raced another local SVT with less mods than me in the same range (2nd gear 4k to 6.5k) and he beat me

My only thought is that it may be a clogged cat in the manifold???

Of course the race was before I changed my spark plugs but I don't think they made up the difference in performance. Any ideas?
