BDrool Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 The chevy even looked like it had the jump off the line and the Snake took it from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pockdog Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Nice smooth run. The shifting looked effortless. Oh and the red Christmas tree hanging from the mirror is priceless... made my day! -Pockdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO-SVT Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Very nice!! What kind of times are you running? That run was an 11.55@124 1.78 60 foot. 1800 rpm soft-launch, tires at full 32 PSI, light scrub-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the red Christmas tree hanging from the mirror is priceless... made my day! -Pockdog Thanks. I made sure I put a LOT of city miles on the clutch before I went racing. I seem to have no shifting issues and I am taking it up to just before redline when I shift. Oh, about that x-mas tree.... The "new car" smell was pretty strong and it bothered my lovely wife, so I stuck that cherry x-mas tree in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullens Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yes no 1-2 grind there. Must just be certain vehicles. Good run..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDan Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Wow no 1-2 grind like I get 50% of the I got down the strip. Must feel nice to be able to shift into 2nd near redline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must feel nice to be able to shift into 2nd near redline. i don't know what to say about that except... I made sure I put a ton of true "city" miles on the clutch before applying full power or shifting fast. I didn't really hit it hard until the car had over 1,500 miles on it. As you can see from my videos, it shifts very nicely. If you watch the race with the camaro, you can hear when I hit 2nd there was quite a bit of wheelspin.

GO-SVT Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 +2 curious about all the same questions and wanted to add..Awesome run!! Thanks... The TVS on my '10 was originally on my '08. So it's not the same version you would get for a 2010 if you bought it new. The '10 version comes with a smaller pulley. As for what they cost, that depends where you buy it. Figure in the mid $4K range if you shop around. Install is easy. I've done mine in less than 2 hours. Gains also depend which route you take. On my 2008 it was good for 1 full second and 10 MPH in the 1/4. On my '10 it's close to the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthracer777 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Ford devours Chevy. Film at 11:00... Did you use a line lock for roll control? With the clutch in, some cars might have tendancy to slowly creep forward and break the beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTpower Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 nice run..........one thing looked strange.......when you shifted to 4th, the shifter looks like it went into neutral ??? Nice pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO-SVT Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Did you have the TC on, off or Advance Trac? I never drag race with traction control. Everything OFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
