Acceleration Video

[k_williams1982]

Here is a video of my acceleration run this evening. I can do better than this, but with the phone in one hand and steering wheel in the other I couldn't shift through the gears "manually". I'm actually going 5 mph faster than my speedometer reads. For some reason, it seems faster sitting behind the wheel than it does watching it on video.

Sounding good, I just wish i could hear the engine more. Your cabin seems a lot quieter than mine though. I should have installed the firewall insulation from the diesel donor truck in mine.

yea it wont work for me either

 

[k_williams1982]

I tried it, and it wouldn't work either. I think I have it fixed because it's working now. I won't do the hyperlink this time.

I had the windows down, and this video was on my phone so it's not the best sound and video quality. I'll use the actual camera tomorrow. You can only hear the engine until the boost hits about 5 psi and then all you hear is "whistle" until the rpms hit about 2,700 and then the 4" straight-piped exhaust starts "rapping out".

Link worked fine for me

I need to make on of these some day. There are plenty of open roads around here. I think my best 0-60 run so far was 15 seconds. None of them were really scientific though. One had wheel spin and didn't max out the boost and the other was uphill.

i have cranked out almost a high 12 before if i remember right, it was also a cold day so i know that and the ram air helped alot, and i had my timing advance hot wired mine acts like it has more power with the timing advance on

I had flashbacks to Back to the Future.....I was just waiting for 88mph......and then.....1955!

I'm curious. Was that pegged to the floor from the time you took off till the video stopped?

No. If I slam it to the floor, it seems to be "sluggish" until the turbo spools, so I only had to between half and three quarters throttle during the whole video.

hmm mine doesnt so that but i have herd other people talk about that happening if they floored it

I have never put my pedal to the floor on mine.....maybe I should try it sometime. Just seems to have enough power to not do that though....

[dakotajeep]

Yeah, since I am burning a percentage of WMO, I have a little spare fuel to be heavy footed....maybe..
