To all who have a quaife

[fastfour]

How much time did the quaife take off your 60ft? Just curious.

Thanks,

Zach

Zach your times will drop a little, since instead of you launching with only one wheel and spinning through your 60ft, you will now be able to launch higher and gain the tracking you once did not have, therefore you will drop 60ft times and in the end drop your times... But slicks would help alot...It is kinda the same as, when you dont have an LSD and you put slicks on to GAIN that extra traction??? What happens...

The Quaife will not give you any more HP... thus it will NOT actually lower your 1/4 mile times.
What it will do is reduce the torque stresses on your trans and axles, thus allowing you to launch more aggressively.

Simply put: if you currently launch at 3500 rpm on street tires, crisply shift through the gears and run a 14.2... you will run the same 14.2 with a Quaife if you launch at 3500 rpm on street tires with good shifting. NOW, if you launch at 4500 rpm on slicks... your 1/4 mile times will drop... and the trans will survive.

Make sense ?!?
