aps Member 1,505 Member For: 21y 9m 27d Posted 16/02/04 10:57 AM Author Share Posted 16/02/04 10:57 AM Peter,Yes, add some racing fuel, bump the boost up to 20lb (you should easily get 380rwkw), have good slicks and trick trans, but you should really praise Vic, as he's a very skilled and experienced driver, and most of us would take a long time to master the quarter to his level of expertise.BrianBrian, If you read the first APS post not only did we give credit to Vic we also gave credit to Con for the final state of the engine tune. Again well done to the guys at C and V performance. :banghead: PeterAPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will continue to ask questions while people continue to refuse to give answers.. The higher state of engine tune for the APS phase III SYSTEM requires additional mapping via the UNICHIP computer to suit a higher RON unleaded fuel. This higher power level (380KW at the treads) does place greater mechanical loads on the engine. The engine should be preped to cope with the additional loads to avoid a mechanical component failure which can be expensive to repair after the event.Best for you to speak to Con at Cand V performance on the auto mods, as it is not fair to Con for me to comment on his R and D work.

edo Member 44 Member For: 20y 11m 19d Posted 16/02/04 11:20 PM Share Posted 16/02/04 11:20 PM Peter, Thanks for the rev limit info.You need to drive Brians (or Lachlans) car to comment on the way the T56 works, its a pretty quick shift (if weightier than most jap boxes). I had only used the T56 in commodores & a viper before. Honestly you would swear Brians was a totally different box.I dont think it would be as good as a tricked auto down the 1/4 though...

Now Brian dont go soft on us. You have mega power and the drive train to match now.......let rip and lets see what you can do, as nobody to date has run a quick manual trans xr6t down the strip.

The right combination always produces the goods. :biggun: PeterAPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
