Hello,
I remember a while ago some one asked about how close the interceptor is to the track.
Well today was IFO so I descided to give it a shot. I did'nt spin the tires much just a bit
of a chip at launch. So here are the results

1/4 Times
Track Clock = 14.519 @ 100.1 MPH
Interceptor = 14.01 @ 108 MPH

1/8 Times
Track Clock 9.560 @ 76.26 MPH
Interceptor = 9.21 @ 82 MPH


Also Interceptor said I did 0 - 60 MPH in 5.77 Seconds

That was my best run of the day. Better then last year. My Clutch held up really good, but I think I'm loosing my 1-2 syncro. Shifting into second gear from first was abit challanging at times. I noticed this going to work a week or so ago also. I'll have to pay more attention, see if double clutching helps, or rev matching or what not.
If my syncro is going... How expensive is that repair?

 

Well if ur synchro is going i think that means byebye trasmission.

Be sure ur cable clamp is holding up good by taking up ur shiftboot. The shifter should be going pretty much straight up and down and rough/tough shifts can be due to poor adjustment in the shifter cable.

Ive had times where its tough to get into 2nd esp. When going hard at it. But my trans is fine.

Double clutching is what i do for downshifts usually but its not needed or recommended for synchro transes. Its what the sy.chro is there for actualy, to shift easier. Thats why if u just clutch it for a downshift with no revmatching you dont feel much of a jerk.

 

Granny shifting and not double clutching like u should!

 

Isn't that one of the quotes from the Fast and Furious Movie?

 

This sounds alot cheaper to deal with then a failing syncro in the tranny.

So how do I check/adjust this?

 

do you live you life a 1/4 mile at a time?
you lucky that 100 shot of nos didnt blow the welds on the intake.

 

there is no reaction time on the interceptor. thats your difference.

 

Reaction time is just the time from the last light til your car moves and breaks the timing beam to start the 1/4 timer. You could sit there for a minute or hour then launch and still run a 14 sec 1/4 mile.

 

My interceptor said that I did a 13.66 @ 105 MPH with my untuned TVS setup. I had no wheel spin on that run.

 

I ran faster at the track than what my interceptor said.

 

This ain't no dsg bro, you should double clutch when down shifting.
