might be a dumb question but why??

[Paradoxx]

The PCM will not allow you to flat shift properly, if it doesnt detect a change in throttle position it will die in the arse when you engage the next gear... and there goes all your boost.

Apparently the quickest time for a Manual T5 is 13.2

Is this true?

If it is I'm willing to challenge that

PM JB - I think I recall he ran a 13.2 before breaking an axle with 305 rwkw. Geea would also know.

If turbocorty ran a 13.2 in his stock 6 spd Phoon (say 220 - 240 rwkw), you should get close. Not with your current clutch, but.

I'm not so sure steve..??

If I really nail a change ( especially 2-3 ), not crunching, grinding or whatever, the car has a flatspot in third. Like it doesn't know what to do..

Almost like it was too quick for it's own good.

As for why I don't flat change.. well there's no need. The only thing it gains is to burn the face of the clutch. Sometimes the 3-4 change is a bit quick, and the clutch 'slides'. Not a fan of it really.

As it is, if you see my vid at the drags, if the gear gets missed, or It won't select, I'm back on the gas so quick I can't register the gear isn't in. Rev city.

I hate the sound of an engine free revving to 6800rpm.................

Also,

When changing at lower rpm, it becaomes ALOT easier on the syncros to do there job. When you rev to a kazillion rpm, especially in 1st gear, getting it into 2nd fast is a nightmare.

Dropping the revs can get you into second a hell of alot quicker. Snowball effect.

All my times of getting to 60mph in 4.0 seconds are done with 2 gear changes.

I have to agree missing either 2nd or 3rd just makes me cringe. For some reason these T's keep revving when you miss a gear and make you look like a real di(k.

I was just driving home then and was booting it and suddenly realised I wasn't dropping below 4000rpm after gear changes. I'm probably missing out on some torque by doing this. My peak power in 4th is at 157km/h so I just hit peak power when I cross the 1/4 mile.

[Paradoxx]

yeah but that will be most stock Ts... if you can get out of the hole quicker then you will hit peak power a bit earlier in 4th.

What's a respectable 60' time with a manual either T5 or T56?

←

The best I have done with a T56 is 1.7 60ft on Drag Radials.

Look at where peak 'Torque' is made. This is where your car has the most 'grunt'

Peak power is a product of rpm, correct me if I'm wrong??
