Gearing like 4.77's, or a small fast spooliong turbo would be best.

 

 

 

nightcrawler, do you have any vids with your clutch not slipping

 

With FI and 4.77:1 gears, you'll reach redline in first so quickly that the gear is almost useless. On OEM tires you'll have far too little grip in first. It's bad enough with 4:30:1 gears and very mild FI (aka CTSC/AC). That's what I have, and I've logged 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, on OEM tires. Grippier tires and a high boost pully wouldn't be that far off 4.6, and with a turbo, 4.6 is EASY. Why some think this is the wrong car to do this kind of thing is a bit of a water mystery to me. Could one of those who has said this please explain their logic?

^That about covers it for me as well.

 

i don't have any vids at all, so i'm not sure what you mean by vids without clutch slipping lol. i need to take some when i get everything 100% ironed out and retuned. my clutch only slipped for like 3 weeks then i got the ACT installed

 

I think i seen that video tho. I thought it was your car. I believe it was supercharged with 4.77s on like 5lbs? Slipping clutch all the way . The reason I ask is because your car is the only one I have seen (video wise) with boost and 4.77s.

 

that must have been Manny's car (freshs2k)..it was white with cf fenders hood and trunk right? he lives around here and i know him but it's not my car.
