So I was just thinking...

for the times of 0-60mph for the sy/ty...is that just regular pedal to the metal or is that a boost launch time? just thought i'd ask since it was on my mind.

got to be a balls to wall boost launch in my opinion. They don't get up and go that fast if you floor it from an idle.

I agree. I have a G-Tech Pro and I've tried both. I dont know how accurate they are but my times were about 1.5 seconds slower w/o a boost launch. 5.14 vs 6.65+-. This was a with a near stock truck a few years ago.

Yeah I would have to say boost launch.. Im sure when they test auto cars they keep the brake down to load the TC for better times...

Agreed. With G-tech, I boost launched to 60 in 4.63 seconds. One thing I wondered with alot of the magazine tests that showed 5.1-5.2 range for a Sy, I'm thinking they didn't pre-boost after startup before their first test. Any good running Syclone should be able to dip into the 4 second range in any conditions.

come to homecomming and you can ask the guy who was driving the truck during the testing

Re: So I was just thinking...

that time is definitly WITH launch !! ...

... having the original test of a german automag from 1992 - they just floored a Ty from 0-100km/h in 7,1 sec (in summer), so as you can see, way from 5,6 sec (i think it is) like they measured in the papers IMO

HTH,pat.

Re: So I was just thinking...

With my Belltronics at boost it said I did a 1.86 60 ft.... And at the track my timeslips said 1.87 60 ft.... Not too bad I guess. No sense in launching without boost IMO.
