TIN and PSIed said that your car was slower than tins, and I am not just saying that, they said you ran like a harwood style 16.5+ or something at the track, higher than that I think. Let's just say, I slaughtered TIN from a roll, and it was pretty close from a dig. He told me not to tell anyone the outcome. Nah, it was close. I pretty much had him for a while, then he pulled later, but I would hope so, having 30 more hp than me from the factory. It was serioulsy not even close from a roll, but I suppose you guys are heavier and all. I am sure I will race you some day here and stop all of this nonsense, but not now, after what just happened, and having to pay $89 to nissan today, I am taking it easy.
the reason it wasnt close from a roll is that you started in a different gear than him... -

Why have a 2 step if you don't race?
All utecs (v 3.1 and higher) came standard w/ launch control from the factory. Many of the guys utilizing it where experiencing problems w/ their cars after using it so I think that may be the reason that he's not. -

as for me not racing. Too many horror stories of people from Muscatell Subaru being at the tracks and denying warranty if they see you there. Considering my piston rings just got warranties I'm thankful I didn't as the labor cost would've been tremendous. I don't want to do aftermarket internals either since I am selling the car. -

what are you talkin about? i wasnt mocking anything...i was simply stating that he started in a higher gear...pretty much every auto you can select the gear your in and shift when you want...and i dont really see how i was pwned or owned...either way -
I wasn't directing that all at you, but a lot of people mock my shiftronic auto. Everyone can shift, but that's gay, the whole, 1-2-D or whatever there car is. I hear that's also really hard on the tranny, where mine is not. I can hold higher RPM's easier and smoother. Usually they only have like 1st and 2nd gear, I can do it with any of them.

shiftronic sucks ass
-
No doubt.
-
Too bad they still suffer from larger power losses than MTX cars. I want paddle shift personally
-
Thats (paddle shifter) on my list after/when I get my valvebody done...that and TC lockup mod, should help eliminate some of the losses normally associated w/ autos.
-
I always wanted do a TC lockup mod on my old Z24 and everyone laughed at me. Said it wouldn't do anything. I always thought it would work nicely.
Anyway, what are the dangers in doing it? I imagine shifts become pretty hard.
-
from what I have heard, you want to lock up after you are done shifting gears, otherwise (I would imagine) it could be very hard on the transmission

gravedigger how do you plan on eliminating traction problems by installing a level 10 TC???????? i wish you well on the little double digit psi advanture you are about to embark on as well

Good point, I have trouble w/ traction being AWD and around 300 WHP, can't imagine what you FWDer's are going thru. -
i'd have to say traction control is pretty worthless is some vehichles...i drove a z06 and had TC on and i could still burn the tires good!
-
when they were referring to "TC" above, they meant Torque Converter, not traction control...just to clarify
