Practicing 0-60 runs

christopherkriens · 06-29-2011, 12:03 AM

What are you guys getting? Started off at about 5 seconds and worked it down to 4.65 after a few runs. Using the P3 Vent Gauge to time, it's pretty addictive.

Running N55 JB3 Stage 1 on 92 oct.

I don't know if its true for the manual but for the DCT you need to shift at 6k because after that your losing power. Try that and see if you get better times.

Pretty nice. Looks like you might need to work on your launch just a tad. I don't know what JB3 stage 1 entails, but I think that's a pretty mild tune. Up the boost and you should be seeing 4.3-4.5 consistently. Keep in mind that it has been tested (by professional drivers, mind you) 4.7 stock time and time again.

Yeah launch needs to be a little more aggressive. Good job though.

where did you order the P3 Vent Ga from?

Good advice- in my more aggressive starts I ended up with too much wheel spin and had lower times. Probably just need to be meaner to the clutch.

Ordered here- I don't know if the preorder is still on, but the page still exists.

Runshits? What about ambient temp? My tires do the same thing until they get nice and warmed up (read: burnout). Yes, clutch feathering is useful, but I always try and not overdo it to save some wear.
