Fastest Stock Twins thread

[g11ary]

Its not a bad time for such a small turbo, was the car was extremely well set up, there are much bigger turbos on the board that did not keep up. Again what I keep saying in this thread to all the drag virgins out there, have a go, its not all about power/bhp.

Nice figure! Is it what you expected?

Was expecting about 280 yes  :chat

AFAIK you are not allowed to take a passenger with you on the 1/4! The RWYB days @ pod are unlimited runs for your £15 so loads of time to warm up and cool down and get a fair few runs in, I managed 8 on my last trip

Wont be running this sat cos £60 is a wee bit steep (may be persuaded thugh) but I should be getting into high 12s with a proper launch.

IMO Id suggest NOT changing gears at 6500revs. the limiter is at 8k for a reason for a start you\'ll end up doing more gear changes. If you can cross the finish line in 3rd gear at about 8k revs then you\'ll have saved yourself ALOT of time on the gear shift. Trust me. experimented alot with this. off course it does depend on the car and how much power does drop off but it should be that noticeable....

Think alot more runs are in order for me, Im sure I can better the time

[Kieron]

I found it better to be in 4th over the line, all the runs I tried to do in 3rd were 13.8ish when in 4th they were 13.6ish.

I was changing gear just before 7500.

[davegttph1]

fair enough, when I was changing gear at 7ish I was running about 13.8 too... upped the rev limiter on the PFC and got my best time of the day on the last run

[Donato]

If you get on a rolling road you will know exactly when your cars peak power is. Mine is just under 7000 revs so i change about 7200 revs

[g11ary]

You do loss time changing gear, but you also loss time on the rev limiter, and probably do more damage, you have to expiriment and get a happy medium, personally to stay in 3rd you want a change of diff, or a ported engine that will still have power at that rev band. So I think it will be car dependent, but still say on stockish car change earlier.

[John Yorke]

Think you will find 7800 in 3rd is 100ish terminal with a standard diff, to be in the 12\'s using 3rd you would need 8400ish :flamed: not good news I would have thought 4th over the line with some \'slick\' gear changes at the right time would see you there eh Donnato :cool

[shaunwil]

With 110 terminal your well and truely into 4th gear, I think its all about finding the sweet spot that when you change up you get the most torque straight away ! Plus the faster and smoother the change the higher the revs will be kept !
