well, phat svt decided to start pulling his tranny out tonight, so he will not be collecting your money, I told him to run it and just skip third but he is afraid that the car will fall on it's face, I told him that it would still run in the thirteens, what do you guys think?

AHH...No. You really need to keep the revs up with the vortech to make the power. To shift from 2nd to 4th would just kill the motor. I would say he would run mid 14's doing that. Too bad about his trans, hope he gets it sorted out.

yes, but the boost kicks in at 3500 and the 2-4 shift at redline should still be right about there, it would be abit slower, but with that much torque, I would think it would still pull pretty hard, there is a N/A 1.8 Honda that has run a best of 12.9 @ 104 and when his tranny went bad he was out third gear and he did the 2-4 shift and still ran a mid 13, granted this was revving to 9k instead of 6800 but this car has alot more torque.

I know if I get in the 100 mph club, it better be a 13.xx  No I didnt miss a shift on that run but my clutch was slipping bad on some runs. IIRC though, my clutch didnt feel like it was slipping on that particular run. I remember because I though I had an awesome run and then went and got my timeslip and was like WTF!?!?! 101.4 but no 13s!!!!!

well guys i went to the track and ran a 14.2 @ 101.17 mph with a 2.668 sixty foot. i calculated it and i should be hitting 13.2-13.3 with traction. so hope that gives you a good idea. i have a time slip and a video of the run for you all. comen soon.

14.2 @ 101 is a pretty interesting number...does it basically show that a S/C SVT has bad acceleration?
I can run my stock Ty at 13.8 sec. in the 1/4 but can only get it to 96 and some odd mph.

Yeah... I don't think it is showing the lack of acceleration as much as it shows the lack of traction. Look at his 60'. Now look at yours. I bet you are getting 1.8-1.9 60' times, right Mike (or you better be!!! :D)? The beauty of AWD is right! I got 14.1 at 99.76, but my 60' was a 2.2.... I think if Sam can hook up, he will be blasting mid 13's, maybe lower....
