TVS car ran to its full potential...

I'm sorry but, I don't do social media.

What is the bracket that Hasty is making?

Thanks Riddick.

I would say, give the Whipple guys time. It's coming. This is my fifth year with the VMP TVS. I have slowly stepped it up each year. I started this deal gunning for 10.50's. It happened the first year. I just kept going from there, but never lost sight of my intent for the car. It's essentially a stock 5.0, 6R80 car with a forged bottom end, some moderate boost and a return fuel system on E85. Otherwise it's just as it was when I bought it. Stock (quiet, smooth) suspension, a mild rumble, comfy for myself and the family to take that out for dinner on the weekends. I also swap the 20's on and hit the curvy roads still.

I plan to have the 6R80 upgraded this coming winter and that's likely about it. I drive the car over a couple hours to my favorite track, so I want the security of the built trans. I am more than content with this time. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks man! I don't have any secrets. I'll mention some things and if you have questions or want clarification, fire away. I'll answer any questions. Here are things I feel contributed to my 60' beyond having 800+ rwhp.

E85 fuel
A tuner who will make it happen. If you aren't a current customer of Palm Beach Dyno, just switch. His expertise made this possible.
A cold car (run it as little as possible before you make a pass)
An ice tank (low Iat2's = more power everywhere including launch and 60')
An excellent tire
Knowing the correct tire pressure (for my car and this tire, that is 17lbs, which I found by practicing launches at the track)
I foot brake as high as possible without pushing the car through the beams. This has always given me the best 60's.
The better the air that day (provided the track is prepped well), the more power the car makes and the more potential you have to 60' and run a good number


Other basics:
Max tire pressure in front tires
Clean pulleys (you can't be the guy with tire shine everywhere under the hood)
Fresh belt
Hasty Bracket for belt wrap
Datalog every pass (so you can send logs in for tune revisions and so you can play detective to see why you went fast/slow)

Are you footbrake launching with the shifter in the "D" position and just mashing the throttle with Ken controlling the shift points in the tune? He said on another forum that he drives the A6's like this..

Yes, the shifter is in Drive. I leave it there and let the computer do the shifting.

This is a classy post. Much respect to you and all the others with no "secrets" who just want to go fast and help others get there.

I'm the exact same way.. never played the "secrets" game.

Congrats, this car is a beast!

Thank you. I appreciate it. One more thing, the passenger and rear seats were also removed. They weighed 86lbs.
