lol, I'm just saying he didn't run a 13.5 with a new filter and no muffler as his only mods.
but whatever, let's here his story. He claims to be able to run 13.5-13.7, so if he's been to the track, then he needs to post his times, cause he can't just claim times like that but have no proof.

Taking the car in Tues to get dyno'd
Gonna see what the baseline is as i guarantee it will put 260+ to the wheels.
All i have done is, thinner filter and muffler delete with straight pipe and stock tip i welded back on.
Ill keep updating.
Also, for anyone racing at the track like i always am.
If you wanna run 13.5 - 13.7 @ Sea level. and not 14's like most have done that i seen.
Turn on compet. mode. but do not do full RPM clutch dump like most do.
Launch at like 4k and 3 way clutch brake gas to brake boost a bit and then ride clutch out a bit. then for 2nd,3rd etc. do no lift shifting

Let's stop and use our thinkers here.
You were all ZOMG You press all three pedals down to launch?!!?!?!??!?!!
Kinda came off as why would you press all three pedals down?
My answer to said question is heel toe, and it isn't uncommon for RWD cars to pre-load by pressing all three down.
It is harder on a FWD car, but I am sure given the grip it could yield nice launches.
Ok, not fail.

next thing, again, you are wrong. noone "preloads" a car by pressing in all three pedals on a launch. why? because you are not preloading something if there is no resistance to begin with. there is no resistance if the clutch is depressed, thus you pressing the brake pedal is doing nothing. the motor will rev exactly the same whether or not the brake pedal is engaged if the clutch is depressed. the only time a foot brake is used in launching is in an automatic BECAUSE you are bringing up the revs while keeping the car stopped. again, fail
great argument. this is a forum, discussions are the basis of it. if you actually have a valid one, post it. if you dont, then try and learn something because i just explained to you why you were on the wrong train of thought
If you load up a boosted car(like a turbo one) you may want boost right off the line.
It makes plenty of sense to me to load up the engine(clutch kinda half way out) foot brake and give it some gas to kinda do the same thing you would while footbraking an auto
With the clutch all the way in to make boost(unless it is SC) you have to have a certain load. With no load you would be revving to ohigh to have a decent launch
Yes braking with the clutch all the way in is stupid.
Half way out, foot on brake, building a little boost...hard on everything...but not stupid in my books.
Everyone has a different way of doing something.

i hope whatever cars people are doing this "half out clutch" thing have some badass clutches because they are roasting the **** out of them
yes, alot of the times you want boost off the line in a turbo car, but using the brake will have NO effect on this in a stick car. why? because you are not creating any more resistance using the brake in a stick car. understand?

The halfway clutch thing I am talking about, brakes will have an effect.
The car will move(which would red light you) if you just let the clutch halfway out.
i agree that would build up boost most likely, but destroy the clutch very prematurely

haha. ghetto mods. ' Let me explain, while you and most spend alot of $ on mods from vendors that have noe track or proven dyno results and i have a mandrel bender'
I test and true my mods, if they do not prove at the track and dyno, on to the next CAD design.
1st.
Let me run down i been in GM High Tech Mag 3 times.
Ive had some pretty fast cars buddy.
Currently have 08 TBSS 500whp trailblazer
had 9 & 10 sec cars in over the years including a 98 2.4 60 mill turbo cavalier runing 11.20's at 126
Im no kid coming on here dreaming. i know cars,i know motors..
I took a SRT and dynoed higher then other SRT's.
Reason being? I break in all my cars the same way i break in new drag motors on the dyno ' Hard' if they blow up/something was wrong and off.
I have 300 HARD acel and motor decel miles on the car,
Im going to dyno it on a Dynot jet, and then a Hub dyno hopefully friday.
Not trying to come off cocky but im not no 18 year old kid in a new factory turbo car.
Im coming on here to help and put some insight on these cars. thats all.
