Quick Change Update.

[oab_au]

Since the release of the Quick Change, 6 months ago, there are about 25 out there running on cars in the US, Aust and NZ. Up to date there have only been good reports, on the way it speeds up the slow changes. There have been no reports of the sort of problems that a few, uninformed pessimists predicted, I was sure there wouldn’t be.

I have been trying to get it tested over the quarter, but haven’t had any luck. Now Wannarace 928 has done it. Not ‘back to back’ runs, but with no other changes, it has shown a 0.27 off the time, and a higher speed.

So I think we can safely say it won’t hurt your time, and more that likely will knock 0.2 off it.

That's easily believable, if not more. The shifts with the oe setup are probably the #1 hurdle to decent drag times and the more power you have the worse they get.

Longassname, really? The more power you have, the worse the shifts become? Am I reading what you've said correctly? It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm just curious why that would be.

I'm afraid I won't be much help on before/after, as I'm planning on doing a QC along with my 4.11's and a few other things all at once! Hope to run a low/flat 15.00 with these additional mods. Guess we'll just wait and see! lol

You'll be hearing from me in a few weeks Harvey! That would make a nice easrly christmas present for myself.

You read correctly. I remember when I first ran a 165hp shot of nitrous it felt like i was spending more time between gears than in them.

As you improve the performance, the time that it spends in the change, 'doing nothing' becomes a higher percentage of the ET.

As soon as you try it, you realise how much time was lost with slow shifts.
