Finally got the D1SC to the track...Like a walk in the park
I've been waiting until some reasonable weather, at least for down south, to get here before taking the car to the track. It was still ~1300ft DA and like 75* out, but I'll take it. See linkBUILD THREAD for the setup. Basically:
Immaculate DD-able Pewter 2000 SS
Futral F13 cam
D1SC running 5-7 psi depending on belt slip
Yank 3600 converter
STOCK 4L60E
STOCK 10 bolt with TA girdle
STOCK bottomend
I am car number 9 in the left lane. Basically 11.2@122 on a stock rear and A4 trans with a 1.67 60' driving an hour to and from the track with A/C. The car is full weight, had 3/4 tank of gas, the blower kit and SFC's, so with me in it it's ~3800lbs. Based on my logs and comparing with online calculators its making about 550rwhp or about 700fwhp. The car was shifting at 6000 rpms and had 14 degrees of timing on 93 octane only so I think there's WAY more in it if I wanted to turn it up and break something lol.
When I say the car is DD-able, I mean the wife texted me last week that she was taking the car out to go shopping I've got some theories about how to keep the stock 4L60E alive based on how I've tuned it and I was looking to use the track to help support this, but I'll make a thread in the A4 section about that later.
A buddy was able to get a video of the pass. Other car in the right lane was a nasty nitrous camaro that would sixty foot hard and get out on me and then I'd reel him in. Cool guy though when we chatted briefly. There were a lot of nice cars out, and everything was boosted haha. My passes were very uneventful; I staged, stalled it to about 1000 rpms and slowly pressed the gas pedal down. No drama and stayed dead straight.

All in all was a good night. Did some tuning on another boosted Fbody on here to break it in. Both drove there, ran some passes, and drove home without a problem. Whenever you don't break its a good night.

Nice combination, you should easily be able to add several more degrees of timing without having to worry about detonation. Bob

Awesome times for the small amount of boost man! Bump up the boost or rpm a little bit and you should have 10's! Or just through some better fuel in it and bump up the timing a little next time?
What I love about this is how simple it sounds like you did it! You can bolt a procharger on in a day or a weekend tops. Slap a tune on it and take it to the track.
With my c5z I installed the kit on a friday, tuned it saturday morning, drove it 4 hours to the track, ran it, then took it to the dyno and drove it home with zero issues...
This is pretty much exactly what I'm doing with my 5th gen. Want to keep it to were it can be daily driven easily. Just pieced my kit together with help from Bob at brutespeed.. I have a D1sc "kit" with cheap ebay intercooler.
I plan to have two tunes for it. My daily tune will have real low timing and lower shift points and then my race tune will be more aggressive and bump the rpm up to make more boost..

Absolutely agree about the part about driving it home after some fun at the track. I understand that you were being fairly easy on the car, to keep it together.... but it seems that 6k shifts is almost too safe (if there's ever such a thing lol). I know you are SBE... but still. Not meant to be critical, just curious about the short shifting. Car definitely has some more in it.
Haha, thanks. Trying to keep the 10 bolt and 4l60e alive.
Thats awesome, how well did it drive?

Yeah it's probably got at least another couple of tenths in it, but I'm honestly happy with it where it is. I'll probably keep tweaking but I'm more about longevity and seeing the trans live. We need some hero DA to help lol.
#15
I'm interested to see your theories about extending a trannies life, seems it's heavily dependent on RPM. I'm all about learning.
#16
Yeah man me too. I don't know much about the inner workings of autos like you do, but I've done a ton of searching on how others have blown theirs up and noticed some trends. Throw in a little help from joecar on EFI live and came up with some good stuff I think. I'll try and get a thread going this week in the auto section.

Here's the link to the trans thread for those interested.
