I was hoping that he does run nitrous on it. I thought the quicker-shift is one of five things that would get an SVX into the 12 second 1/4 mile territory.

1) Nitrous,
2) Quicker shift kit/mod,
3) Intake modification (ToMyx),
4) Modified Torque Converter (AWD or FWD with Slicks),
5) Lower gears (4.44's).

I still believe this in my heart (No data to support this) and was hoping to be the first to do it (Or at least show what this is capable of). Since Poweredx2 is so close........so be it. Never wanted to argue these points. Just go out and do it and show the results. My $$$ is extremely low at this point and I'm not sure when I will be able to recover so all mods have came to a halt. This shift kit is one of the 5 keys to getting into the 12 second 1/4 mile territory I believe, especially after seeing the dyno results.

Well here goes,I will answer the first question,I would expect gains in the 1/4 because of two shifts,but last nght at the local 1/8 mile track they had a sportsman shootout and the track was sticky,also I had bfg drag radials on 225/45/17 just to be sure I would run a 9.5 well I launched the car at 2500 and I knew this was a GOOD RUN BUT WHEN IT SHIFTED TO SECOND MY diff. exploded I did get a 1.96 60ft.My diff.was going anyway but Aamco rebuilt the tranny but didn't touch the diff because it was ok even though it was whining,so hey I have a lifetime warranty.Anyone has a list of vechicles that I can get a 4.44 diff. from remember I am fwd.I'll be back.

Looks like it was a bit more that the two wheels could handle. Too much traction, too much go.

Can't blame that on the shift kit,just got to go back to spinning the car out the hole instead of max traction,my second option is if Aamco find a used diff,I will pay out of my own pocket to get the gears heat treated.

[poweredx2]

I'm stuck with the 3.70 diff. so I can retain my warranty,I'll just go back to running 205/40/17s. on the front and just heat my springs and drop the front another inch.

Sound like a plan. I hope you get her back in shape soon.

Aamco is pulling my car in today,I should have it back by the weekend.I plan on heading back to the track but a 1/4 mile track this time around.

If it was due to too much traction don't you think the hole-shot would have killed it? I do not suggest a 4.44 diff. I installed a 4.44 diff into a FWD and not too long after he blew a hole in the case while driving "spirited". I would imagine you would end up doing the same with drag radials. Maybe a 4.11 over the 3.70's you have now??? Much easier to find too

Good luck! I am looking forward to reading about your results.

I'm stuck with the 3.70 since its covered under my warranty.The drag radials are coming off.

Just a update for y'all. I bought the Quick Change from the "controversial"Budfreak about a month ago to improve on my already modified transmission. I had some work done to the valve body to get quicker shifts like a traditional shift kit and my transmission guy that is running the same setup with a dyno tuned 650hp+ ej22 with 2.5dohc heads with no issues. The problem was that the cylinder drop that you all know about was hindering my performance. I ran it on a 1/8th mile track and produced a 9.6 with a crappy reaction time of .812 at the best. The timing equipment kinda sucks there, but thats what I ended up with. I drive my car to work every day and have over 1500 miles on the trans with the QC. I am enjoying the hell out of it. Take it or leave it, but the product works and I am very satisfied with it as you will see in my post to harvey

I got my svx back Tuesday from the shop and went to test an tune last night,its a 1/4 mile track but again half of the track was shut down do to rain earlier that day.I did see a slight improvement after 2 passes one was 9.61 and the other was a 9.64 from 9.70s on stock heads,mph for the first was 73.16 an 72.89 mph on the second pass.I do have another product on my car that may have helped the slickshift.I am now running some E3 sparkplugs and compared to 6 other passes my highest mph was high 71s to 72 mph even.So the sparkplugs are doing a little something.I figure that I still can run a high 14,before I had a little cylinder head work done and was powerbraking at 3000rpm with dragradials,so cylinder head work does improve hp on our engines,nothing great say 15-20hp.Just mild porting and some mild decking .What was odd is that I just brake torqued the car around 1500rpms and still got 2.2 60fts.So between the slickshift,E3 plugs and I really don't think this works period ,I took some old knocksensors and fab up some 1/8" spacers and installed those under my sensors.Mustang owners swear by this trick.
