Average increase

Actually I did, I know my car better than you do.

While you know your car more than he, or anyone else. You have proved that you don't know as much as you think you do. Chris is right, there is no way to change what speed you will be at in a certain gear at a certain RPM, unless you go in the tranny and mess with the gears.

Actually you just proved you don't understand the difference between horsepower and vehicle speed. Look at the left variable on every one of those dyno charts. Do those say Vehicle speed? Is the measured unit MPH? No. Its not. It's measuring power. Did I say your power wouldn't go up from a CAI and exhaust? No, I didn't, because it will marginally. What you claimed was your RPM at a certain speed was lower after CAI and exhaust then what it was before them. That is completely false, the only way to change your RPM at a certain speed in a certain gear is to change the gear ratio.

No, you weren't, and I suggest you figure that out before making yourself look more foolish.

Damn you're mean.



RPM and speed are mechanical, and can not be changed unless your tranny is about to break or you go and fit different sized gears.

Just to re-track this thread. 143k on engine. Drove to Pa and back. Doing a true 85 to 90 on the highway cruise. Got over 30 mpg. I'm very happy with the NT.

Damn you're mean.

Haha, sorry if I came off that way, but this isn't the first time I have seen WMD spread mis-information, and that needs to stop. A little knowledge is dangerous

i did a carfax and its very clean. infact this was a lease vehicle. i do have another question i never asked before. i never done this before but if you had it in gear and let go of the clutch, is there damage/performance issues involved if done one time

 

[Jonathanlc05]

cause it happened when i didnt realize i was in neutral

 

[bullettdsm]

Isn't that called a "launch"? Don't worry, If I understand you correctly, you basically "dumped" the clutch. Over time you'll learn how to do that on purpose. Won't hurt anything provided that you don't do it a lot.

no its when you are parked somewhere like a sidewalk, and when you start your car on first gear instead of nuetral you let go of the clutch accidentally. it does nothing when its in nuetral but when your in gear, it pops you back and forth and shuts the car off. im hoping i didnt damage anything

 

[DSMcrazy3]

As long as it only happens one or two times, nothing should be damaged. You're just stalling the car right after you start it(accidentally of course). Only thing that will happen is your clutch lock-out switch will stop working.(So you will be able to start the car without the clutch pedal in)

 

[Jonathanlc05]

ok thanks, apprciate everyone imputs. any other questions im sure ill check here first

 

[Jonathanlc05]

oh by the way, if it happens a few more likes does it damage the clutch or the transmission

 

[DSMcrazy3]

It will eventually damage your clutch. Each time it happens it puts some wear on it. Not to mention alot of torque to the transmission. Basically, just don't be stupid, pay attention what position the transmission is in when you start the car. I always put it in neutral, with the E-brake engaged.

 

[Jonathanlc05]

so i damaged both?

 

[DSMcrazy3]

Damage, probably not. wear and tear, hardly. You should be fine as if nothing happened. My point is, don't keep doing it.

 

[Jonathanlc05]

ok thanks. just i dont know what tranny is in there but i know at low RPMS at 2nd gear, i manage to chirp it alot and it has alot of torque, so i dont want that to go away.

 

[DSMcrazy3]

The more you make it chirp, the more you will wear the stock clutch, the sooner that chirp goes away. Don't do it for your own satisfaction. Once you get an aftermarket clutch it will withstand that torque a bit better, while still wearing the clutch, but while you're still on the stocker, it will wear it much more quickly.

 

[Jonathanlc05]

i dont even think it is stock... IMO

 

[Jonathanlc05]

it always chirps, seriously. even when i try not to

 

[Jonathanlc05]

and i had 3 years driving stick, and known how to beat'em in racing. not that im trying that yet on this car.


a good race with me was i raced a 5.0 mustang vs. my moms escort GT with 160k miles on it. i kept it up till 2nd gear, then he flew past me. but seriously i never stalled it. it took me 5 mins to learn stick, so thats why im asking this queestion on here.

 

[DSMcrazy3]

The tires may chirp when you aren't trying, but the reason they are is still your fault. The only way that can happen is a high RPM shift and you have to punch it immediately after. No ifs ans or buts about it. Harsh, but true. Be nicer to the car.

 

[Jonathanlc05]

2000 isnt high RPM's but ok ill be nice. . thanks everyone

 

[DSMcrazy3]

I would like to see you lose traction when shifting at 2,000 rpm.

....somebody here isn't being honest with us


You come outta nowhere and try telling us stories like this
