I just install my FTVB on saturday and i love it. I surpise the hell out of a Corvette when i churp second gear next to him. Thanks Robs02lightning your pics of the install where priceless. They made installation a piece of cake. I took it to the track on Sunday. My previouse best was a 14.186 and with traction bars and the FTVb i ran 13.933, 13.936 on nitto 555 radials. I then put on my MT Et streets and being brand new it too me a few passes to get them broke in a bit and learn how to lauch. But on my last run i heated the crap out of them. Lauched at 800 rpms and puched it and ran a 13.743 my 60' was 1.97. God i love my truck i cant wait to get my chip reburn and put my 4#, 90mm, and zex kit on. April 15th wont get here fast enough for the next test and tune.


thanks
Kevin

 

Way to go!

 

 

so were your mods a chip, ftvb, traction bars, and slicks? sounds pretty good. is your chip burned fairly safe or aggressive?

 

No the only mods i had on were my jlp intake, Ftvb,trac bars and slicks. I just sent my chip to Sal to get it reburned for the 4# pulley, and 90mm, and nitrouse on the other side of the chip.

 

Factory tech valve body is a must have mod none better/

 

Maybe a stupid question but my Superchip makes the trans shift very aggressively and I tought I read the valve body should NOT be used if a computer chip increases trans line pressure ......

Is there a conflict and what to do if you already invested $$$ in a custome chip.. please enlighten

 

Yes the superchip when they tune it will firm up shifts if you dont have a valve body. IF its a good tuner they wont write the chip to firm up shifts because you already have a valve body. When i sent my chip back to get reburned i told sal that i had the FTVB so he wouldnt firm the shifts up any more.

 

Ok guys, give me your opinions please. After reading Kevs times I fell pretty good. Have an '02 L BONE stock except for Bassani x pipe with cats and cat back and K-N drop in. My daughter (17) bracket races it. Best time to date with new F-1's is 13.59 at 102 mph with 2.01 60 ft times. This was on her 5th run ever!! Are we in the hunt with a basically stock L?

 

That a good time you would naturally be faster than me because of your gearing and extra hp than the 99-00 L's. My run was made with my tailgate and spare still on. Plus my 235lb tubby body. Once i get my chip back ill be shooting for mid to high twelves. You definatly have a good start. Im new to drag racing so im still learning.

 

Awesome kev, hope you didnt take my post wrong. Was in no way saying your times arent good. I am just new to this crazy *** truck and wasnt sure if we stunk or not. Take care and good luck with yours also...let the moddi'n begin!

 

No i didnt take offence at all sorry if it came across that way. Ive had my truck for a few years. But am just now takeing it to the track. Good luck with you truck let me know if you get some better times. These trucks are beasts even stock i cant wait to see it will feel with the chip, pulley and the 90mm.
