Are all of you guys who are doing that in a 5 speed? I'll bet you are. That would explain a lot.

I will try and do the 0-60 video today.

Mine's a tip.

 

i dig chix wid fast cars and knoes how to drive. ; ) i guess poor paintballguy thought he could keep up wid a 2.8 now hehehe. i guess not. j/k man. how's ur tranny fluid?

 

Ahh.. I should check that... The car has to be perfectly level correct? I need to find that DIY. Would that cause slow shift times and such?

Josh

 

ya bad fluid will cause slow and rough shifts.

 

i tried to race with a BMW 325i,2004 today,0-to 60,he beat me by like 5 or 6 cars lenght....that sux

 

Ummm I love me 3.0 0-60 in 7.1 with easy shifts. But damm man you might what to check boost levels. Or at least take it to a dyno and find out if your are realy loseing power to the ground. Not the cheepest way to go but it is a very effective way.

Or go on a diet JK

 

man a 3.0 in 7+ seconds, i think you need to put your car on a diet.... or if you like the v6's sell and get a 2.7

 

My boost is fine and when I did all my turbo stuff I did not see any broken hoses or anything. What I think could also be happening is that I am getting really bad heatsoak in the higher RPM ranges. I don't have an intercooler yet so I bet that could cause power loss. I will have to check my tranny fluid here soon to.

EDIT Let me rephrase that... I don't have a FMIC yet, just the stock SMIC.

 

Ok, here are the videos you guys wanted. Sorry they look like crap, they are off my cell phone.
