I ran with everything out of the car (spare, jack, etc...). This is my DD, so I am not wanting a 13 second car, but I would like to be around 15.00. My current mods are updated in my profile, what (other than boost) can I do to get some better times? Yes, its an Auto too. I do get a lot of wheel spin if I launch higher than 1,500 RPM, no I don't neutral drop it lol. I'm sure some decent DR would help.
Ummm, you have more mods than me. But i run quicker?
Ok heres what you do. First off, leave the trans in drive. You get more power and quicker times not running the gear out. Second, Launch easy but hard. Try to reduce wheelspin as much as possible. Third, take your stock wheels and get a set of smaller tires. This is the equivalent of taller gears. It will make you accelerate quicker, and since your not trapping high speeds, you wont compromise too much speed loss.
Good luck.
First he is not as quick as you because 1) your a stick hes auto, autos tend to be more consistent but take more power from the motor 2) you made your runs at cecil county according to your profile page and cecil tends to be one of the fastest tracks in the country because its basically right at sea level. As for gaining more mods you have all the bolt-ons that you could get right now for the ecotec but have you looked into a set of stage one comp cams or the 2.4 ecotec intake manifold swap?
Thanks Guys!
I have been looking into some stage 1 cams, I just don't know what brand to get yet. I have read good and bad on about all of them. Once I get cams, we have a local guy who dyno tunes with HPT at his shop. I want to still have decent MPG, but a bit more power.
When I ran at the track this last time, I left my steelies at 35 PSI and spun through first... I dropped them to 20 PSI and had no problems with tire spin, though I was chirping 2nd. Would the solid auto trans mount help out? Having the other mounts, it just seems like a weak point.
Andrew to put the manifold of an 2.4 ecotec they all come the same meaning you can use the 2.2 t/b????

Dan, You can buy my car....lol
I went to the track the same days, and I also ran my best times. If you click on my sig, it will take you to my myslpis.com page and you can see the runs and time slips there...
I was running with my tires at about 26ish PSI.
What shop are you referring to that tunes with HPT here in the valley?
