I wish I could do something about the 60ft time, but what, torque converter?

Good work :)

If you swap the torque converter, you're going to gain off the line acceleration but lose overall acceleration...so it's not a great mod for your particular box. Faster 60ft times don't necessarily mean a more exciting or better street car.

That will get you a 13 flat

Strange thing is that was with a 3000rpm stall. Previous run did 2.228 60ft @ 2000rpm stall, 0.03 quicker, but hit fuel cut on 1-2 and slower ET.
That's why I'm thinking about the TC, or clutch packs.

Just a thought... Would you need to stall up a supercharged car? Isn't the power there at all parts of the rev range?

No fuel cut, sounds like the gearbox rev hang on 1st to 2nd as the tacho swings past rev limiter. New AMG A45's do the same thing, wont change gears unless they have traction and also are below the rev limit resume table

With moar positive displacement blowers, yes. Centrifugal no, they build boost as revs increase. So would need a stall up to get it onto boost.

Mmmm. My best with a VF52 was 13.0, so I'd say it'd be closer to the 13.3 end of that range.

Yeah I would have thought that too Adam. Hence my surprise. Only a run down the track would prove it once and for all though.
