Yeh im worried about the trans but 1 or 2 passes and ill be ready to pack it up cause ive flirted with enough disaster.. Business is slow at toyota so when it picks up i already have a build sheet and hoping it puts me at a 12.0 or high 11's?? ~400whp?? Just guessing..

remember you have to back up your run, and have visuals of everything.

Fixed for ya. At 10+ psi you'll definitely make some nice power, and its possible trans won't break, but it will definitely be slipping. The clutches won't hold even one run at that power level. Because of that, I definitely would NOT use slicks! Without the upgraded clutch plates and LSD you will not be able to put down the power to take advantage of slicks and you'll just be more likely to break something. Drag radials should be enough.

Agreed. Once it happens it will be interesting though.

I do want a little softer tread though cause the g-force sports spin badly. Ill try the qtp slicks @ 34-38psi and lower the t.p. as necessary.. I challenged my friend with a auto 2006 mustang gt to race me so it should be a a decent vid. and if i dont hit 12's ill be real close or ill have a vid of a gagt blowing his tranny out at the track ![]() |

With his power level it's just a matter of time before the trans goes anyway. It's inevitable.
It slips worst on the shifts. It will feel normal during part throttle driving, but if you're at WOT and hold it during shifts (like in a racing situation), it will shift into the next gear and seem to hang there for a bit before it accelerates but the engine will be up around 4-5000 rpm. The clutches just slip and let the engine spin and waste all your power until they finally grab and then you only get about 1000 rpm of usable acceleration. Thats exactly what happened to me. I went from 190whp to 235whp but my track times stayed the same. I had more power in a single gear pull on the dyno, but the extra power was wasted and time lost on every shift.

and this is where torque management settings come in really nicely. Might not have that problem quite as bad (you'll still have some on stock clutches) if you increase line pressures to max on the upshift, decrease shift time, and drop the timing a couple of degrees on the upshift point. (said the guy that already burnt his transmission up...hahaha).

I already had my transmission settings reprogrammed by DHP during that time and the clutches still burnt up. There is a limit to how much line pressure you can run. Bottom line is, stock clutches can't hold the torque.

Ive got a suggestion for this contest in order to make it more fair IMO. Right now its the first person that can get to a track and run a couple of documented 12sec passes.
I say it should be the same requirements as far as verification, but the fastest time at the end of the season or predetermined deadline is the winner. It gives some more people a chance to get in on the action and have a fair chance at the title and pot.

It is a nice suggestion. It would have to go to a vote. Anybody else interested in having the rewards awarded at the end of the year? To the fastest guy doing 12's or better?
