*edit* OK, I just read your car's profile & if I'm understanding correctly, you "ovalized" the split ports, yes?

Nope. I figure eighted the ovals.
The tiny oval port inlets are horrible for airflow.

I'll have the pictures up eventually. The webspace I am going to put it on DOES NOT support spaces in the file names.

Renaming 50 files is not a problem.

Renaming every single HTML code entry for each one is a PITA. (I'm sure many of you know about differentiating code )

I can't believe your car just rips the 225s in first gear.

The 2.5L could roast them in 1st and a little into 2nd if I really tried.

The 3L flat out boils them if you breathe on the pedal too hard.

Even in 2nd gear the tires normally break free a bit as you pull past 5000rpm.
If you actually try (say going from cruise to WOT) you can roast them at will in 2nd too.

Heck if I really try I can spin them all the way through 3rd but that's not getting me anywhere though. Well except needing new tires.
It's "not" spinning them that I want.

Seven lines of code in perl.. Regular expressions are your friend.

What are you doing to "roast" your tires in 3rd gear exactly? Im close to 200FWHP and running mid-lower 14's and going into 2nd I get some chirping(more than I did with the 2.5L) but not too much, but definitely no spinning in 3rd.. Just curious as to what you are doing right/wrong to get them to spin so much in 3rd?

---

I said I could "spin" them through 3rd. That just means I have enough power to "sustain" wheel spin into 3rd.

On a hard shift I only get a chirp in 3rd "at speed"


I can roast 2nd though if I actually try. Even at the track 2nd had a lot of wheel spin.


However like I said the entire goal in not to spin them.
I have learned to shift into second at a pedal position that generates very little wheel spin. Though again like I have stated it does sometime start to lightly break free as it passes 5000rpm or so. That's kind of cool though.


Not the power of a turbo mind you. I remember Tom said he had to watch the shift to 3rd or the tire's would light up occasionally. I know I heard it several times on the phone.

That's part of the reason why our platform plateaus at a certain E.T. There is just too much power for the platform to put down in the first two gears. If it did hook the turbo'd cars would be knocking on the 12's if not in them.
