You do get more lag from a FMIC though...

 

yea the lag is increased, but the way he said it was that fmic adds lag in a drag race from a stop. When you are drag racing you launch at high rpm and the rpm is kept high so FMIC lag isn't even noticable.

 

what do you mean by "track"??? 1/4 mile straight??? If so then maybe AT would help, i wouldn't know. If its an actual track with turns, etc - you want MT for sure. some things cannot be done with AT.

 

im talking drag strip yes

im still wondering if this is gonna be worth it... i know the 5spd wont hold up, so AT or 6spd, and 6spd is 2 much...

so i think the 4EAT for drag purposes is the way 2 go :-) come on you 4eat guys.. chime in wth

 

That's a good deal for the new AT... AT is an extremely high differential... and take a look at the differentials on the two trannies. Besides, what's the life on an MT anyways?
Regarding track times.... the 1/4 mile is pretty good with AT. With a brake lock with the torque converter you can easily jump the line at 3.3k rpm and skip the turbo lag.

 

You both can suck my left nut.

Considering I haven't been dyno tuned I'm probably not putting down that much power. And as far as driving, I'll beat both your cars at auto-x. And for drag racing, gee, brake/gas go. No skill involved in that.

 

wasn't it you who said "Lets see you 2 go at it from a stop so we can see who the better driver is. Roll only proves whose car has more power."

I guess you changed your opinion and now the only thing that takes skill is autox.... Also how can you not be tuned? You've had the same setup for practically a year now.

 

why would you run a vf30 setup and NOT be tuned after it's installed?

 

He said I can't drive. It's a ****ing auto. Drag racing an auto really doesn't involve any driving skills. And apparently nobody knows how to actually read. I said I was street tuned, not dyno tuned. Sorry not everybody has mommy and daddy to help them so they can get tuned any time.

 

13.8 !!!!

 

Hey, let me race BluWrxWgn.

 

give him another year, i think he'll be tuned by then.

 

FWIW, there's nothing wrong with road tuning, but, like dyno tuning, they shouldn't be done alone...

The best is to have your car dyno AND road tuned, OTW your car might ping...

 

i've got an AT on a 2004 rs. Any idea how much this would cost if we could do the swap?

 

i'm assuming the 4EAT is the same for the wrx and rs... I'm not sure though.
