Launch question

[darreli]

How are you guys launching at the track? Also what are you doing with the
traction control? On...off....sport mode?

it's AWD and weighs 2 tons...brake torque it and hold on. wheelspin isn't gonna be an issue for a while.

Terry, what did you do with the Advance Trac?

most of the time i took it completely off. i tried in sport mode a couple times and it didn't seem to make much of a diff either way.

launches always worked great until it started getting cool out in the mornings, the car loves the 35 degree air, problem is the f1's don't lol

 

[darreli]

Well the 6 or so inches of snow this am sucks, but I'm hoping to pick up where you left off. Just lowered the car with h&r springs and the current tune in a flex ran 12.70s. Level Ten can upgrade the trans so I'm hoping to get my hands on one

 

[SHOsc]

How much did you lower it?

 

[darreli]

It's about an inch and a half. I just thought they sit a little high, looks much better in my opinion. I'm gonna try to get some pics up today. Btw, I have 4 springs off a 12s package for sale! Less than 1000 miles

 

[SHOsc]

were they the H&R "sport" springs?

 

[SHO U UP]

pics of the lowered SHO puhleeeze! :swing:

 

[darreli]

Yeah. The sport springs. Ride is pretty comparable to what it was, maybe a touch stiffer

 

[IM Buddy8]

Awesome a 12.7 already? Do you have an A/F gauge? Did you change boost and timing? Or just one of them.

 

[dan kane]

who's tune are you using. 12.70's are impressive and not have any warrenty issues. I have had my SHO for a few days now and trying to select the best tune.....

 

[darreli]

Beefcake had already run 12.70's in his last fall. I believe he was using a Modular Depot tune at the time. I had mine tuned locally by Livernois Motorsports. Dan Millen tuned it. The owner (his mom) has a Flex with the Ecoboost that ran 12.70s at Milan in the fall.

If I can figure out how to post these off my phone! You can check the car out on www.livernoismotorsports.com under hot rides though, in the mean time.

 

[SHOsc]

very nice! have you experienced any minor rubbing at all?

That's awesome. I live only a couple of blocks away from Livernois Motorsports. The pics on their site are kinda small, even after you click to enlarge them, so I can't wait to see the ones you post.

 

[darreli]

No, doesn't rub at all. It's been nice the last couple of days so I've pushed it hard. I think I might give autocross a shot this year so I definately didn't want any rubbing

 

[frosho]

Here you go:

That's a nice stance.

 

[darreli]

Thanks frosho! Yeah I think it sits much nicer now. These pics from my phone kinda suck, but I'll work on some camera shots. Wanted to bring it to work today and forgot it
