New PB 2014 GT w/ VMP TVS

[JLear]

Myself with a LOT of help from a buddy recently installed a Gen 2 VMP TVS on my '14 and got it back from the tuner last Friday. I took it to the track the next day on some old Et Street radials and had some major traction issues. I ordered some ET Street Pro's and got them mounted this week and was going to go back to the same track as last week but they cancelled due to cold temps. I woke up this morning and checked to see if Beech Bend was still going to run and luckily they were, so I made the 140+ mile one way trip to the track..

Reset trip after filling up with fuel (93 octane)..



After signing in with tech I weighed the car with me in it, I'm about 165-170 pounds..



On the first pass the car spun on the hit, so I allowed some cool down and came back with a pretty good burnout and here's the result..



After some more cool down I tried again..


I tried one more pass and it spun so I called it a day. This was a TnT day and the prep is not typically that great and also there was alot of street cars on street tires driving thru the water and diesel trucks hot lapping. Overall I'm pleased with the ET and mph considering the 60's and conditions. It's pretty cool to drive 140+ miles to the track, drop air pressure, run 10's, air tires back up, and then drive home LoL.

Sweet. I've never trailered my car to,the track, it's a great feeling.

Nice! What else is done to the car?

Yeah that TVS on a coyote is no joke. Congrats on hitting 10s. Thats awesome.

Nice! What else is done to the car?

Long tubes, offroad x, dss driveshaft, and bmr suspension. No weight reduction other than removing spare tire.

Thanks!

Nice job, that's got to feel awesome!

Oh yeah, I'm very pleased with it.

Sweet numbers! What boost you running out of the GEN 2? I am running a Gen 1, with about 9 psi, to get similar numbers. I do not have Long tubes or the drive shaft. My best mph was 127 on my last outing. You went 129. Whats interesting is we both went 101.x in the 1/8 with almost identical ET. Did your car shift into 4th? Maybe the Gen 2 shines on the big end, when charge air temps go up? I have been wanting to weigh mine, I'm guessing, I am right there with you weight wise.

I'm running the 85mm pulley and for the majority of the pull it was 8 pounds but did peak at the very end at 9.2. My car went to 4th near the end of the 1/4. What's killing me right now is the 60', the temps were pretty cool and I had brand new tires so I assume that's the issue or my suspension may need some fine tuning. Based on the mph and 60' I'm pretty confident the car could go low 10.7s or maybe a high 10.6 as is with a mid 1.5 60'. I may try again to see what happens but to be honest I'm pretty pleased with the current et when you consider the entire timeslip.

28 inch tall tire? What RPM did you leave at? I actually spun trying to just stab it off idle and had better traction/60ft times, leaving @ about 1000 rpm, I want to try higher the next time out. With your mph, the car will go a 10.6X if you go 1.5's IMO.

Yep 28", I tried idle and just enough rpm's to load the drive line. The two passes with the mid to uppper 1.6 60's it still spun a little on the hit. My car is lowered so I assume that's not helping the weight transfer, I'll give it another shot on a better prepped track and see if that helps. If not then I'll know that I need some suspension work, may end up getting some rear shocks.

Interesting. I have thought about lowering mine, but have not yet.

 

[JLear]

I have my lca's in the top hole of the relocation brackets, I may drop them to the middle hole and see if that helps the 60' any.

 

[JLear]

Made 3 passes tonight after a tune revision, all 3 were new PB's..

 

[Five Oh Brian]

Nice runs! I love how consistent the 6R80's make these cars!

 

[badnews]

Congrats! Those numbers are solid across the board IMO.

 

[JLear]

Thanks guys, I'm very pleased with it! The previous best was 10.85 in negative da, last night it went faster in roughly +1800 da. That's a good sign for fall weather lol.

 

[JLear]

Went back to the track today for a true street race, the only difference was I added better fuel and a tune for it. DA was +2700

 

[badnews]

100 octane tune or what? Congrats!

 

[FIVE-OH]

Nice numbers!
