When I literrally leave the line at 4500rpm and she only spins very slightly, then that means she doesnt have enough torque.
I see what you are saying on the 13.50s run, it is unbelievable, I am sure if I said that i could runa 14.3 stock, i would get the same respond from people but here I am and she did it. So adding another 50-60hp plus some tuning to get rid of the rev limiter and all that clutch delay, 4500rwhp limit, etc. BS she will see mid 13s. I have been racing long enough to do some accurate calculations. Trust me, if someone cant run a 13 second run in a full bolts on crossfire, then they either cant drive or the car isn't running "right"
Arrogant much? you say you have been racing long enough to do the calculations and making negative assumptions about peoples driving ability, some of whom have been racing since before you were a twinkle in your fathers eye. If I were you, I would look to the people who came before you, or you will be destined to repeat their mistakes.....
You are not following what I am saying. I am not saying an XF has 600 ft lbs out of the hole, but as I stated, she has plenty of torque not to bog on a launch, ask the guys with the auto trans. This is because of the CDV I tried to explain, if you have never had a nice Euro car, you have probably not even heard of them, many members here have not. Do a little research and see why YOU DO have plenty of torque, but the parts are not letting you put it to the ground the way you want to, read:
CDV
I am not a drag racer, and I try not to be a ****, but respect for people who came before you and those who know their cars well enough to know why they function the way they do is a must, IMHO.
