It should be in the 13s i know, 14.1 was with all my tools in boot ready to pack it in for day.
https://youtu.be/eWOA4Rt0Z4Q?feature=shared this was at meremere
Was first time I've raced it since Turbo'd and I'd put adjustable suspension in the day before had no time to work that out.
But it towed a trailer to the track and home again did hotlaps with passengers and only ended up with a cracked crossover pipe for all the punishment.
Way more in it.

Trans has a Corvette servo and synthetic fluid and I've spent more time tuning the trans then engine, it's a no trainer you should absolutely do it.
would you share a file with your trans settings please?

Re: Turbocharging the ecotec motor
This is the trans setting's in mine. Pretty happy with them, But also like to point out it's not turbo and has changes for the mace throttle body and thermostat. Also fitted with a transgo pro shift kit on the softer setting's. So didn't drill the valve body separator plate.

Re: Turbocharging the ecotec motor
Shift kits make a huge difference.
I remember when my mate did his, I had to pull out a heap of low end line pressure although he probably went straight to hard setting with the Transgo kit.
