ok previous best was 10.61 @ 128 w/ a 1.57 60ft with the M6 ......

came off the foot brake @ 1800 and ran a 10.25 @ 130 w/ a 1.40 60ft

car ran 6.87 @ 103 in the 1/8th previously new time was 6.49 @ 105

i know the car has quite a bit more in it, track was packed today so maybe a track rental so i can fine tune the suspension but i know coming off the TB the car should rip .....video will be up in a few days

but needless to say it was the best mod so far
video of both runs ......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHUgbVBMwH4

 

u can't beat that ol'skool tranny for puttin' down the power !! congrats on the new best, man. those numbers are stout as hell !! congrats again .

 

Just curios whats the elevation there and do you know what the DA was?

 

Congrats Tom! i knew you would like that auto trans! im going in a few weeks, hopefully i can pull off a lil better then 11.8 this year! let me know when you are going to the track next.

 

thanks rich yeah i may go with you in a few weeks .....the D/A was about 900 or so if i remember right

 

Congrats man...Nice job...

 

thanks guys ....yeah i know there is quite a bit there still so a little more testing just may see a 9 sec slip

 

i love when people ask me how much trap speed i lost going to a TH400....

just like this post, i gained mph! (and reduced ET ofcourse)

 

congrats brotha! Get them vids up dude!!!

 

good day and it will only get better from here

 

congrats man seems lik that worked out well for you. itd be nice to see a 9s slip outta it.

 

i see that happening also. i guess even though there is less rwhp when your foot never leaves the floor and with those fast shifts with the right vert it can pick up mph also.
OP did you do any weight removal or anything else besides the tranny swap ?anyways sweet times, congrats

 

look at my album lol... just a little weight reduction

thanks for the props

cant wait to get back to do more testing

 

dyno means nothing to a big converter TH400. just comparing apples to footballs lol

 

I had the exact same results... Dropped .5 off my 1/4 mile time even with a convertor that is messed up... (too loose)... Great times... I'm sure its got more in it... but a 1.4 short time is very impressive to say the least...

 

what i meant to ask was there any other weight removed after your best m6 pass ? i knew it was lightened but didn't know if the only thing changed after best m6 pass was the trans. either way you have a very fast beast.

 

oh i gotch ya , yes i did install a UMI K member A-arms and a Madman rack , pin on hood so quite a bit more came out .....weighing the car this week

 

Good work Tom! Can't wait to get my car to the track with the A3 swap!

 

Nice gain, should leave nasty off the t-brake.

 

Nice tom money well spent
