ahh V.C.t, yer they do a cam but im preetty sure it costs heaps, and your motor needs headwork etc

sikford · 06-02-2008, 07:23 PM

meh, no point as it will have to be re-done again to give different compression etc for the charged setup at a later point, ya's still need head work with a standard 4ll for the cam to yea.

True.
Single spinner 3.73 diff, 2500 -3000 stallie ,3 to 2/1/4 crushed xorst,intake also.I ran a 15.194 with the same setup.When I got the tune it dropped to 14.773. I think its the sum of the parts. An xr6 hp with xorst and intake can run a 14.9 in manual form.A manual has the advantage of dumping the clutch at higher rpm can launch harder unlike the low stall speed of the standard auto torque converter . In addition to this the manual will have an extra 7to 10rwkws from an auto car.Ive seen it on dynos time and time again .

This guy doesnt need a cam .The xr6 hp cam is great. He needs a tune. He will knock his time down by .4 to .5 of a second. His cam is a good size.In auto form he should get a 15.1 to 14.9 but hell be hard pressed.If he wants to do one mod ..the tune..he will only get so far.A good stall converter will put him in the picture though.

so if i was to say, get a set of pacey comps or whatever, a high flow and do a flash tune with 3.9's what sort of time would i be looking at down the 1/4 roughly?

15.5 to 14.9. is what I would expect. But you never know until you try.

The quality of the tune is the most paramount of importance to reach the goal.

sikford · 07-02-2008, 08:33 AM

could you maybe recommend somewhere or someone that does a good tune?

sikford · 07-02-2008, 05:33 PM

the anuals made it easier to run the time, but its a good time never the less, mate has run 14.7's with his manual s1 xr6.

FS5 · 07-02-2008, 08:14 PM

sikford · 08-02-2008, 02:58 PM

got a quote today from g@d to do the pacey comps and high flow is $990, to do the air box which i prolly wont bother with atm as i will have no need when it gets charged at a later date, and $1095 for the flash tune, they said it'd be around $1500 to do the diff gears, i will probably go the 3.9's.i'll prolly get the headers and cat soon then lower it b4 i do the rest of the mods but what do you guys think od the prices?i havn't been anywhere else just yet to price it up but i will be next week sometime, might take a couple sickys.lol.

FS5 · 11-02-2008, 10:19 PM

i didn't gain much if anything going from 3.45's to 3.89's.
i cracked my first 1.9 60ty with 3.45's,feels nicer to drive with 3.89.

monty ,you know its on .can't wait to get out there again mate.

sikford · 03-03-2008, 09:53 AM

anything much happened in the way of more 14's yet. shouldn't be too long b4 i do a few more things to get a better quarter.
