5AT Vortech track result
We went out to "Midnight Madness" at Gateway International Raceway last night, St Louis. It was a madhouse as always, and we got 1 run in...
Michele did not do a burn out and left off idle.. Nitto 555R's @ 22psi Results:
60" - 2.007
1/4 - 12.906
MPH - 107.64
This was letting the car shift itself. There is A LOT more potential in this car once she gets to practice burn outs and hard launching on a less busy night. I'm so proud of her.
Oh ya, the Lightning went 11.7@116 on its first shake down run after the new blower. A/F was 10.3 through most of the run and I'm running low boost right now..
*edit*.. Just to clarify, the tires were at 22psi.. The Vortech was at 9

Thanks guys.
It's an automatic. Why not run it in auto? It runs great, shifts well, and there aren't any mistakes that I can make with the shifting (too early, too late). Punch it and go!
I don't even know how to drive stick, so it is going to take a little learning to get there with this baby. We're hoping for some Tuesday and/or Wednesday night racing where I can get in a bunch of passes.
The Z is shifting really good with the new valve body. Once I take the time to manually shift it, it's going to be 100% SICK!
If you guys don't know, pre-Valve Body the car would not shift exactly when you told it to; it would take a little bit to process the command, and then shift. Post-Valve Body it says "Ma'am, Yes Ma'am!" and SLAMS you into the next gear.
It's going to be a very interesting year!

I dont know if yours is like this or not ,but mine is . My tack is off by 500rpm when its getting close to redline . So trying to shift manually and at redline can be tricky . At what rpm does your shift at ? Its been so long I cant remember...lol Im thinking 6600rpm...not sure .
