as you see on the dyno, in the higher rpms, the lines kind of go in a lower and upper bounds. i adjusted the timing from 16 to 18. the higher is 18 and the lower is 16, of course.

there had to of been more…
my buddy has a G3 LS that he has gutted and can only get to 15.7
ill see what kind of times i pull sometime… with y extra 1/2 hp and 5 torque
yeah, i dont know, but i am happy with my times, after my first trip to the track i was hoping to break into the 15s the next time i went. Now that i met that goal with ease, i wish i would have done better, i just need to learn how to shift into second(i spun a little bit too much i think).
i think the times are all dependent on many factors. track conditions, car condition(engine and wieght), driver skill, and lots of other stuff. He could have had a day like my 16.17. who knows
ok, i want to ask yall a question (hijacking the thread for a sec)…
What do yall shift at and why???
Now 1st the power drops after 6k
…2nd…around 5.5
…3rd…around 5.5-6.0
…4th…dont care (stupid to top out)
anyways, you can hear when it stop making power (makes like a mono-tone sound. Now this is for MY LS not everyone else. Cause i got to thinking, alot of people think shifting right at redline it best. well its not, i shift between 5.5k and 6k and pull hard on other stock LS’s cause they wait till redline which is after the power starts dropping!
(on the graph about, it shows what im talking about, the guy who has the graph looks as if he should shift at right around 6k to get best performance!
that was my graph, and i wouldnt want to shift right at 6k… lemme explain…
when you shift, you drop 1-1.5k rpms, lets say 1k rpms for shits and giggles… so for me to shift in my car, i would drop down to about 110 hp.
if i shifted at 6.5k rpms, i would stay at the same hp level (about 120) the best way to figure this out, is to see how many rpms your car drops in each gear, and dyno your car and see where you should be shifting. when i drag race next, ill try redline, 6k, 5.5k. ill probably launch at about 3k rpms or so, maybe 4 since i can hook up better at the track. drop to about 25 psi in the fronts. i doubt ill hit 15.3 or 4. im shooting for high 15s. ill be happy if i get that, and exstatic if i get anything better
This was a couple of weeks ago, my max was 132.4 i think but they printed out my first run
Torque= torque was around 120 to 125 or something? not sure can’t be certain all i know is 120-125 something around there, chart didn’t specify the max number of torque
92-93 b18a intake and exhaust, everything is stock, nothing with the engine was messed with
