I have installed the Stage III with BMR toe rods and trailing arms. I opted to wait on installing the LPE upper snubbers at this time.

Drivability A+
Noise A
Traction A+
Wheel hop reduction 90%

1st to 2nd 6000 rpm shift = 50' black stripes with no hop

2nd to 3rd 6000 rpm shift = 30' black stripes with no hop

3rd out of straihgt road

Stomping the throttle from a roll at 4000 rpms in first (no clutch ) = wheel spin, black stripes and instant rev limiter. Pulling second continues wheel spin with hard accelleration from the BFG's and eventually hooking and pulling hard to 3rd.

Out of the hole I am getting some wheel hop when dumping the clutch above 3000. This most likely will be resolved on a stock V. My mods are a factor as I am pushing a good bit more power.


Hope this helps you guys.

I spoke with your guy this morning, obviously all went well.

So is it safe to assume you are happy?

Your car must be making some steam, I wish I lived closer its gotta be a blast!!!!

 

I will tell you the 1/4 mile results on Sat., I am racing this fri night at Capitol raceway, Crofton MD.
At this point I will say the kit is working as advertised and tech help was only a phone call away.
Thanks

 

Can't wait to see your E.T!!!

Good Luck and Have Fun!!

 

I went to the track again...

I cannot I mean CANNOT get below 2.2 60' times...On F1 Supercars..

Not blaming your kit, but I was just wondering if anyone with the kit can get lower 60' times?

I think I need wider tires at this point.

 

I cut 2.1's on a humid day with Nitto 555's (Not the DR's). The way I launch is that I ride the clutch out, launching around 2500rpms. I feel a 2.0 in the near future.

The only real mods I have is Eibach lowering springs with the complimentary CTS non-Nivomat shocks. Plus there's a fairly large sub box in the trunk.

I really want to do something about the rear, maybe I just need to break down and get the KARS kit or someone's BMR stuff. Tough decision.

 

I couldnt either. Its the track and F1's. The V just wont launch on street tires. At least not for me. Given the stiff suspension, getting any weight transfer is impossible.

 

I think the F1s are just not for hooking up real well.

I'm anxious to go and try the BFGs, soon I hope.

 

I have not run the V with F1's. But I could not do any better than 2.0's with them on my 01 Lightning.
The BFG drags will help but I will still have to drive it out of the hole. Dropping the clutch will break some parts for sure.

 

Blown - How was the track?!?!?

 

He said Saturday!!!

I know you're from Florida and all........Hee heee !

 

Hey its Sunday!

 

Good luck!
