lnf: reflashed, intake, side exit exhaust. starting in 3rd gear from a 50mph
legacy gt: Perrin DP, no cat, GMS Catback, intake, tune @17.5psi

YouTube - Legacy GT 17psi vs Cobalt SS t/c 21psi 50mph roll

 

Video was brutal, can't see a damn thing.

50mph is a bit high to be *starting* races at.

 

make your screen brighter, roll speed was requested by the legacy driver.

 

close race, my friends got the same mods on his 08 wrx, Im curious how I would run against him

 

It hardly sounds like you took off... lol I'm so used to my car being deafening when I hammer it... Good run though. I love those legacys they are comfy cars, or at least I think so. My friend has one.

 

i believe its the same motor and trans correct? if anything the difference is in weight.

 

The legacy GT has the STI engine in it. And yeah the legacy is heavier

 

It took a little for you to start to pull

I was expecting you to pull right away

I'm guessing that was cobb and not pro tuned because pro tuned would have been a diff. story

 

wtf is that cobalt doing? jesus fail boat

 

Where's his Dub's? (same car right?) lol

 

my friends 08 wrx is protuned. Im not sure I could pull him

 

The new rex's are damn quick protuned

 

Unless he's running E85, it should be no issue! You need to come get that tune tweaked Joe, what happened? lol

 

he started in 3rd @ 50. thats not in the powerband correct? i know there is a slight difference in the lnf and lsj transaxle and thats the final drive. but i figured 65 in 3rd would be the powerband and 50 in 2nd would be mid-upper powerband.

 

he didnt want to start in 2nd because he would just spin like the rest of the lnfs. i told him to start in second anyways but obviously he didnt listen lol

 

I would of been in 2nd at 50 mph but thats me

 

agreed

 

lots of stuff, lol. Im busy! Next week Im going on a planned vacation for a week. be back in may and hopefully KY will have their clutches in stock. My clutch is slipping and I want to get a new one on before you tweak the tune (which is running between -10.0 and -7.0% rich long term fuel trim wise). I have the tune on now as I went to Street Wars on sunday.

Whats your agenda like in May? Might have a local install the clutch but incase he cant, I know you offered $400 + other stuff.

 

should have started in second. would have pulled pretty damn hard.

 

our sweet spot in 3rd gear is like 80mph well that's with my SC tranny, but still at 50 your bogging the car

 

i wanna see a lnf with the lsj trans. i think it would perform better. i doubt we will ever get to see it though unless somebody does some crazy ass-backwards build haha

 

nothing ass backwards about doing that swap at all.. there have been a few guys that have used an lsj trans in an lnf with pretty good results.. others not so great results..

 

i must of missed those builds. lol fail

 

Yea for sure not in the powerband but still I would think the side exhasut would have been louder. I would probably start in 3rd just to keep wheel spin under control.
