How Far Will this Crazy Car Go???
Had to take advantage of the Fall air, so I went to Atco for some T&T.
This car has me flabergasted :crazy: Without further adieu, the timeslips.
#1. Slight spin...beat up on a nitroused LS1 Trans Am
60'...1.701
330..4.905
1/8...7.550
MPH..92.10
990'...9.708
11.799
MPH..116.85
#2 Dead Hook..snuffed out a Vortex Mustang
60'....1.624
330...4.815
1/8....7.457
MPH...92.31
990'...9.692
1/4....11.70
MPH...116.81
So all new bests on 60', ET, and MPH.
Still stock internals and stock GM tuning (referring to the air-fuel tables)
I did make a few changes since 2 weeks ago. I changed the fuel filter, and it was partially clogged. Probably was the reason the car was running lean.
This is something you guys should think about doing. Thanks to Dennis K. and Tony Abbruuze the "abuse Mode" has been throughly eliminated from the ECM :smash: The car now feels stronger than ever. Of course the cool air helps. This car is definitely a "Ringer", either that or it's posessed :reddevil

Mikie, super super job man.
Once again you have proven you know how to squeeze every little bit out of it.
By the way, what is "Abuse Mode"? Torque Management?

Thanks for the kind words guys :)

Abuse mode is integrated in the ECM by the GM engineers so you can't go fast :jester Actually it seems that way because with a stall TC when at the line, and you try to bring the revs up, at a certain point (for my car it was about 18-2000 rpms) it is programmed to sense an abuse and it will pull timing, sometimes all timing and the car will go silent and not move for a second or so and all of a sudden it comes back, but slowly. The car will bog bigtime as it feeds the timeing back in a slow manner. First time it happened to me, I thought something broke. This is why some people will state they have a better 60' when they flash the TC, as they don't realize what is going on. I'm sure Carmen deleted this for you, but ask him anyways.
Torque Management is a similar item, programmed in the ECM, and it also pulls timing at the shift, to ease wear on the trans.

Great news Joe :cheers: I was hoping that you could get around the trans issue. It was a fun night....and NO oil downs :party:
