Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag Look Quickly - A 13 Second NA Contour

The LSD's only real help in launching is I am no longer afraid of blowing up the stock diff when I get wheel hop.
Well that and no torque steer "when" the tires hook up.


My best launches came from barely using 1st gear at all and never at WOT.

I found that trick out when testing with the G-Tech. It would always give me much quicker numbers if I short shifted to 2nd. The engine has more then enough power to pull the car in 2nd from a lower rpm level now.

Obvious it was the right way to go because running nearly 82mph in the 1/8 mile is just insane for NA!!!

I probably could have had better numbers by starting in second and doing a high rpm clutch slip. However it would have been extremely harsh on the clutch and axles.
