Help with Spoon civic transmission tuning!

[anti-ricecake]

I have a Spoon civic with all mods done except good tires, but this is on Sport soft tires; on 0-400 I ran a 13.73 with the transmission auto setting at 12 (Also this is WITHOUT nitrous) the susp is stiff( im not at my house right now to look), camber is at 1.6 in the front... Has anyone reworked the trans and giv me the settings, while keeping it reasonably raceable?

FYI=i launched in 2nd all shift right at 12 and tcs at 8...

With a front wheel drive car, you should raise the rear and make the rear suspension very stiff for drag racing to keep more weight over the front wheels ...

As for the transmission, do you have a pic of the torque curve ?

For drag racing, put weight over the front wheels. Camber at 0. Make the rear stiffer than front.

Now i feel like im gonna ask a stupid question, When you alter your Transmission settings do you notice the bhp/torque graph lines changing??

 

[Jmac279]

You shouldn't since gears affect force, not the engine torque or horsepower ...

Force (lbs) = Wheel Torque (lb-ft) * Gear Ratio * Final Drive Ratio * 24 / Tire Diameter (Outer, inches)

Why does the Spoon Civic in GT3 rev to 17K and only to 12K in GT4...it looks as though it gives the potential to do it in GT4 also, but the redline stays at 12K.

yes, i would also like to know how to get the spoon ctr to rev up to 18k rpm. after the engine balancing mod, the tachometer shows up to 18k, but the rev limiter is still set to 12.5krpm
