was looking into getting one. heard it was best for a vheicle without cats. mine has them tho. im barely ever going to use it but is it safe to run the WOT box and not have any issues down the road? Thanks

 

Vince over at trifecta is trying to make a no lift shift option and a rpm launch option for our cobalts. Give him a little bit of time before you dive in on the wot box thing.

 

any rescent update on this??? hows he coming along?

 

Last I heard he was doing pretty well. He is thinking about trying to make a knob on the dash that would allow you to change the rpm you could launch at which would be kick ass. I personally wouldn't use the no lift shift option, but a launch option would be kinda nice although I have no problem keeping it at 2k when I launch.

 

No you shouldn't have any problems with it. Just don't keep your foot into it to long.

 

im still tossing this option around... would this be much harder on the clutch? especially the alreardy crappy stock clutch

 

Launching a car is never easy on the clutch but I doubt the wot box would make it any worse.

 

I had my cat on for about a month with my WOT box and had no problems, but I dont think thats really enoght time to do damage. If anything it will probably just destroy your cat if your on the 2 step too long

 

It's better on the clutch and tranny when your WOT shifting. IDK about launching, I'm sure it's not nice to it.

 

well like i said im barely ever going to use it. only when i hit up the track like twice a year. so that 1/4 mile should be fine with my cats and a wot box or not? but yeah id like to have the trifecta thing where its just right in the pcm of the car vs. adding a wot box. but idk thats why im asking peoples opinions.

 

If you dont use it all that much you will be just fine

 

you have to reflash the box every 2 months, or it freaks for some odd reason. staying on the 2 step to long will cause a p0300 code. wot shifting a lot will kill a cat.

 

Mine's been fine for about 6 with no issues. What kind of problems did you see?

 

Wot shifting could ALSO kill a cat??? Ive heard that launch control can kill it but wot shifting... how would this damage a cat in the long term?

Oh and by the way, Clear Image doesn't use a magnaflow cat and they say that it is not made in ceramic inside. Stainless steel I think... would this make a cat more durable with the wot box???

 

I think he means wot no lift shifting can kill a cat. I don't know why normal shifting at higher rpm's would kill a cat. I have a high flow cat and I have done a TON of high rpm shifts and my cat is still running correctly.

 

Yeah I think that too and this is exactly what I wanted to say... I should have said "wot no lift shifting"
