Re: Getting my feet wet.Going turbo 6.0.Dyno tuned finally!

The car now as it sits isnt running too great due to my last track visit and shifting from 3rd to 2nd has ruined the topend of the motor without a doubt. I currently saving up to find another lq4 and then build it for boost vs my current slapped together build. And for my 1-2 shift would be better if I could rely on the clutch/trans and tires to hold better. The ls7 clutch isnt liking trying to dead hook nor does it like the power being thrown at it lol.I went faster by shifting slower at the track than powershifting and then lighting the tires back up. If I beat on it too hard then the clutch pedal will stay to the floor till its cools off and my trans is progressively grinding into third more at an earlier rpm.

The car is a hurting unit lol.The plan is to save save save and then rebuild right. I have ls1 brakes to put on,new floor boards,then dive into the motor/trans and drag radails.Im going to see how much that stock 9bolt takes a better hooking tire.
