Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction How fast are S/C CSVT?

i have been messing with the car and its starting to finally run great. my 14.11 was with 6psi of boost. i just had the tranny sent off to Terry H to get it fixed up with the Quaife and all. when it gets back i will put the Nitto drag radials on and hoping to pull some really low 13's. with the weather right and i do everything right praying to pull a 12.99 second pass. we'll see. maybe next year sometime. still have many more mods on the way. Neil and Mark you both are mine. hahaha. just messen with ya. Mark has something up his sleeve and i dont know if i like it.

yes

yes

the supercharger isn't the only thing he had on his car, by far. but that's beside the point. a 12 second quarter mile isn't some dream with an SVT...it is obtainable, just hard to do, and costly at that.

I have run a 14.15@100 w/ 2.4 60' times on a ****ty track. Im trying agian at the end of the month. Should be in the 13's. The only way anyone is getting in the 12's (with just the standard Vortech kit) is with slicks, and I think that is pushing it. If they do I will be the first to congratulate them.

When my SC was first installed we took it for a couple runs with a G-tech Pro, 40 Degrees outside, no rear seat, no spare. The car pulled a best time of 13.2 and it calculated that the car was putting down 273fwhp. We figured that the car was probably running 13.6-13.8 with maybe 250fwhp. At Spring Zing I dynoed 274.4fwhp... Looks like the G-tech was pretty accurate.

I'm sorry, nobody is hitting 12s w/ just a Vortech and slicks. No way.

Mid 13s, yes, that's very possible, but you'll need a bit more than 100wheel hp to go from a 15 sec. 1/4 to a 12 sec. 1/4.

Now, add water injection, nitrous, etc....

Hmm, blown and juiced up SVT, Simon, you ready?

I believe that PhatSVT has the power to pull 12's out, he is really close to 300 whp, need to do a little more tuning and that puppy will be there, he is having his tranny built up, quaiffe installed, 555r's, motor mounts, and some other tuning issues, he needs a bigger exhaust and some headers, but I think the way it sits it will hit very low 13's to a high 12.

I have a $100 bil for the first S/C SVT that pulls below a 13.5. yes I ran 101.4 mph @ the track with a 2.1 60 ft time but I still only ran a 14.3....I dont know what the fugg was going on but I could care less now. The S/C is off and sold.

Tim, that is wierd! You didn't happen to miss a shift did you? LOL. My 14.12 was with a 2.2x 60' as well. 101.4 is great, but the 14.2 puzzles me. I know if I get in the 100 mph club, it better be a 13.xx

Better let me get my hands on that car Mark if you want the engine & trans to make some 'times'...time to sign up buddy!!

The trans is my only real issue, and thats an expensve upgrade/fix... We'll see how money flows this winter.
