You aren't WOT for the entirety of that pull, so the boost curve is messed up.

If you're not WOT for the duration of the pull, there's really nothing to look at. So I can speculate, but that's not useful.

I use highway on ramps. Never any cops and long enough for 3rd gear pulls.

Thanks for the advice ill give it a shot but I'm pretty sure I found a good spot to do it, its a huge parking lot and it should be completely empty late at night.. I'm going to give it a shot tomorrow and see what I come up with

Anyone?

Davyhay · 10-31-2013, 07:55 AM

All I see is RPM and pre-boost. You certainly need more than that.

The log I’m looking at is a 2nd gear pull, or I should say the only readable portion of a full gear pull is in 2nd gear. You want to be in 3rd for more load, 2nd just doesn’t show what you want it to and there are other issues that can screw things up (wheel hop and traction loss for instance).

Right but if it’s a 2-3 log, you are only getting the top end of 3rd. What we really need to see is a full, uninterrupted 3rd gear log.

gotcha guess its back to the drawing board again, i should be able to get them tomorrow night, i found a good spot to do the logs and its not on a public road lol

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 10-31-2013, 11:12 AM

Logs are 3rd gear, wide open throttle the entire time from 2500 RPM to 7000 RPM. Ideally a shift into 4th helps too.

2nd gear logs are useless as there is typically traction loss. Also traction control should be off fully for logs also.

You need to find a safe spot.

I chose a spot where it's flat and doesn't have much traffic. I can also run a few laps and ensure there are no police.

If you need to go out of your way I would recommend it. Better safe then sorry.

Thanks Jeff, thats my biggest concern is safety for me and other drivers.. I found a spot actually where I work which is a private road and at night when the office is closed there is not a car here and it is a straight as can be.. I also pre warned the security guy because I am cool with him, he was sitting there videoing my runs last night haha so I'll do some 3rd gear runs tomorrow..
