Default New times on TCI SSF 3500

I finaly got to get some new time slips with my stall.... I must say Im pretty impressed with the power....But not very impressed with mph's... eveytime it shifted from 1-2 & 3-4 it would bounce off the limiter.... I havent changed any shift points or anything yet.... It was shifting out around 6900 & rebounding back at 5800 rpm.. Also couldnt get over 111mph... before the stall I was pulling 118mph.... Is all of this normal? If not will a good tune take care of all of this? Then I sprayed it, I still could only pick up 4mphs, But I picked up over a sec... Should My times and Mphs be higher then this?

N/A: 60'- 1.410
1/8- 7.897 @ 83.15 mph
1/4- 12.443 @ 108.93

100 Shot: 60'- 1.463
1/8- 6.564@ 86.09
1/4- 11.022@ 111.31.

Man are you inneed of a tune if your hitting rev limiter you are already hurting . I just cant beleive that with your mods you are pulling 1.410 short time, that would have to be an error on the clocks , your times are way messed up.

Thats what I was thinking... I did run those times on a set of weld draglites, with et streets on the back.... skinnes in the front.. I did pull 1.6's before the stall, headers, SFC's, & et streets... But theres no way that Im only runnin 111 in the 1/4 when I was doing 118 last year... So yall do think a tune would cure my rev limiter problems?

tune is definitely necessary. Be careful smacking the limiter on the spray or you will hurt the motor.

What engine mods?

Something isn't adding up... There is no way that car is cutting 1.4 60' times with that converter on a stock motor. NOS or not... You are going to need more that a 100 shot to cut 1.4 seconds from your N/A run as well. It would more like be a 12.02 @ 111. Those numbers are more in line. You need to trap 120+ to get around 11.00

Yeah I know.... i complained about the clocks being wrong they assured me they were correct so I just shut up... My last best time before the stall, headers, sfc's was 11.829... with a 1.64 in the 60' @ 118 mph.. I know for a fact my car was trapping more than 111mph... The speedo was sittin on 130 nearly every time I crossed the line & it only off by 8 to 9 mph....

Those times seem to be in check , You might want to hit another track and then compare slips.

It's hard to believe that you picked up almost a second and a half on a 100 shot in the 1/8 mile and the same amount in the 1/4 and only picked up 3 mph in the 1/8 and the 1/4. I would say your motor times are on mark, but the times on the spray seem to be off and the 60ft. is hard to believe also. I would have to call

how far where you picking the front end off the ground to get that 1.40? you shifting locked up or something? my tci ssf3500 shifted at:
6100->4600
6600->5010

From the video my freind shot... I wasnt carrying the wheels, But i would say there was an 8-9 in. gap in between the fender well & top of the tire.... I could have Proubably done a little more but I was never able to stall it out higher then 2000 rpm, or it would start spinning...

yah that track is on crack or something dude. 1.40 60 would be insane. the folks running much larger 'verters and nitrous are pulling those off.

on nitto's (commerce) Best i could do was 112.60 mph 12.163 1/4 mile spinning them off the line. The mph just doesn't jive (n/a) with the tracks around here.

who knows. Come over to silver dollar or commerce and get a baseline. we know how good SDR and commerce are. Actually last time i went to SDR i swear that commerce was better other than the crowd level.
