rob-2 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I have searched and it appears I should be 6s stage 2. I am boosting 15-16 psi. Peak at 3700rpm. When I WOT from a light my passenger timed it at 8s. This seems like a far cry from what I would have expected. Not looking to drag the car but wondering if this is linked to any problem. 2k on new motor Occasional CEL for P0171 - smoke test early sept coming Launched without two foot braking Will I need to brake launch it? What RPM are people brake launching to get the times I've seen posted on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-2 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Not looking to street race just confirm that the power I am putting down is usable off the line. It pulls really strong from 10mph on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush600 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Don't brake launch your car. I noticed the same thing as you except its worse being completely stock. It's not worth the headaches of breaking parts or upgrading parts to prevent breakage.. Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Mine is weak off the line, a bit of a pause when I step on it. No launching! Mine pulls well too from 10mph. We can race from 10mph lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJr Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 When I replaced my UP with a catless STI UP and had it tuned, my tuner said it hesitates from a standstill and he couldn't correct it. I told him it was normal. Never have launched the car. Tempted too but don't want any problems or I'd go stage2. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted August 25, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted August 25, 2013 Meh. If you launch reasonably, you can make a huge difference without breaking anything. Getting the engine to around 2200 rpm with the brake on will make a huge difference without abusing the car. It's when you let it build up boost before letting go that you break shit.

JJr Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 OK seabass, I'll try it once. lol. Gumby lol too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted August 25, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted August 25, 2013 You aren't going to break anything unless you do a hard launch. Don't let it sit at 2200 rpm, just get it there and let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidWombat Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Will I need to brake launch it? What RPM are people brake launching to get the times I've seen posted on here? Yes. The <7s times require a significant brake launch. 8s does seem a little slow though for Stage 2. This a Stage 2 CA-91 gas tune? If so that might explain a fair amount of the difference. Stage 2 CA-91 is about like other people's Stage 1 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that might explain a fair amount of the difference. Stage 2 CA-91 is about like other people's Stage 1 cars. We are ACN gas - Arizona, California and Nevada. All the same. Won't worry about it then. Have no plans to brake launch this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samcuomo Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Supposedly I broke into the 5's each time I did it, but I have a feeling the app I was using to do it is way off, because I'm completely stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck686 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 i used my AP with a soft launch and got 5.4s for 0-60 stage2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcefedsuby Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm stage 2 as well but haven't gotten a chance to time a 0-60 pull. I'll let you know when I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
