Default TCI SSF 3500 is in, results inside

Car: 2002 F-body
Mods (ALL): Cut air box, catalytic converter removal pipes, torque management deletion with LS1Edit, TCI SSF 3500, and 245/50/16 nittos. Stock manifolds, stock catback pipes, stock muffler, stock Y, stock motor, stock EVERYTHING! No weight reduction at all besides removing the spare tire and jack. The gas tank was just over empty.

These runs were made on a asphalt street with my nittos with a small (SMALL) burnout using a "Competition Pro" G-tech, the new one.

First run, today during the daytime, crappy launch:

1.88 60 foot
4.42 0-60
7.9 something 8th
12.42 @ 111.9

2nd run just a few minutes ago, about 50 degrees out, maybe high 40's

1.90 60 foot
4.37 0-60
12.38 @ 112.7

I was running 13.5's @ 103 before the converter, with nittos, without the cat removal. I must say the car is running PIG rich right now, .930 mv @ WOT

Right now I'm having a problem getting ls1edit to run on my Windows 2000 laptap so I'm using a friends and so far I only deleted torque management and turned off the rear o2 sensors. I'm quite impressed needless to say considering how stock the car really is.

Note: I drove the car for 25 or so miles without torque management deleted and I didn't like how it shifted sometimes. Torque management removal is KEY!

Stay tuned as I will be leaning it out and extending the shift points in the near future. Remember, these are NO BS runs made on the street, point A to B in 12.38 seconds. POW!

Update:

I removed the front sway bar and adjusted the shift delay from .3 to 0 seconds and edited the PE vs RPM a little (1.196 from 2000-6000 rpm) and I just ran ON THE STREET with NITTOS:

60 foot: 1.78
0-60: 4.063
8th mile: 7.76 I think, 7.7 something definitely
1000 foot: 10.13
1320 feet: 12.221 @ 111.7

I'm still extremely impressed with this car and this converter. ALL I have done is !cats, cut the bottom of the air box, ls1edit tuning by me and a TCI SSF 3500 converter. I don't care what people say, 02's make some serious power. I can't wait to stab in a LS6 cam!

Anyone have any setups similar to mine that is as fast? Anyone know what I could pick up with the LS6 cam? Feedback is appreaciated!

Sounds good but I think your G-tech is a bit overzelous on the trap speed...like the old model was (I have one of those.)

Time to head to the track!

g-tech measures how fast you're going at the end of a 1/4, trap speed at the track is your average speed over the last 60 ft. g-tech traps are about 3 % higher than actual trap speed

Not bad. My SS ran a 13.1 with its mods. Hope for at least a 12.8 with the TCI SSF 3500 >=)

On my old G-tech (The G-tech Pro), my trap speed vs the track is about .08 - 1 mph higher. I haven't compared this new g-tech to the track yet, but I will next week when I go. I must say my launches so much harder without the front sway bar (HELLO WEIGHT TRANSFER!). Unfortunately, the two bolts that hold the sway bar to the A arms broke on removal. My car has really low miles and they were already rusted. I even used a healthy dose of Liquid Wrench. Extremely cheap, extremely low grade bolts Oh well, the car dosen't handle too much worse without the front sway bar, and since I know my car never handled that good in the first place, it isn't a big deal.

Drag racing tip: Remove your front sway bar!
