2.4l goes 9.7 in the 1/8th

Finally got used to launching the car, although i don't have it down to a science yet, i'm bringing my 60ft times down. First several runs i was running the typical 9.9-9.8's w/ 2.4 60's then second to last run did a 9.84@69 with a 2.32 60ft but i missed the 2-3 shift. Last run got a 2.28 60ft and finshed with a 9.77 @ a lil over 73. So the times should keep falling to hopefully a 9.5 as i know i can get my shifts a little more quicker and get a better launch. A guy with an S/C was there with only the stage 2 kit . He was having a hard time getting it hooked up, he had a bunch of 9.5 runs with 2.5 60ft's but did get a few 9.2's with high 2.3 60fts.

according to the calculator you are hitting 60 in 6.6 seconds.. impressive. and if this calculator is right your 1/4 mile should be 15.15?according to this calculator.. probably on perfect conditions and good elevation..

I wish they would come out with some more parts for you 2.4 guys, especially with the vvt it is going to get very interesting. I think even the N/A versions are going to begin total domination of the current and past N/A "tuner" cars...

I'll be going to IRP sometime in the next few weeks to finally get some 1/4 mile runs so I can finally put it into the 14's.

So some people are thinking that the 2.4 can break 15 sec. in the 1/4 mile stock?

If so that is good news.

They give you a general idea but thats about it. Every car has different power ranges.

Hey Brandon, I'm guessing you came from a Cavalier Z24 Twincam LD9. Is it just me or is there no comparison of the two? The Eco 2.4 pulls way harder than the Twincam.

I was there last night in my ss/sc. I did not run though... Still have the brace on my leg. Your launches really looked good. I was supprised when I first seen both of you out there.

The guy with the ss/sc from north carolina was running a stage ii? If that is the case, I am really not impressed with them. I am only running exhaust on mine and hit 9.4's consitantly. The weather was a lot warmer than last night too. When he hit the 9.21 I thought that you were actually driving the car. He only spun for about 3-5 feet off the line. i thought that his car hooked really good.

We will have to hook up some time. you are the only person in the Louisville area that I have seen on here.

Ooo soo your the guy in the blue S/C? We saw you come through the gates but never saw it after that. Yeah he had only stage 2 just couldn't get it to launch right. Practice pratice though, thats what helps. Was my third night there and just started to really feel like i was gettting it launched right at the end of the night. Let me know when that leg gets better and well head up there sometime.

Yes i love my eco. The ld9 had some tq but were pieces of ****. I went through three motors, all spun rod bearings. Get the ecu tune and you'll really feel that 2.4 pull.

Yeah, I will have another surgery in May. It sux, I just got cleared to drive by the doc. Hopefully there will be another few cool nights at the valley and I will be able to run in some good weather to get a true baseline. It was killin me to sit in the stands all night.
