I decided to hit Lapeer Dragway and catch some test and tune from 11 - 1. The only thing different this time was the Shaftmasters aluminum driveshaft on my 2006 V6 automatic. I installed the Shaftmasters on Friday and could really feel a difference, but had nothing to compare it to until today.
Set a new personal best today - only got three passes in but set a new PB on the first run, and then bettered that with the second run! (third run, well, let's just say it suffered from some problem between the steering wheel and back of the driver seat)
1st run: RT.......... 0 .768 (perfect at Lapeer is 0.500) 60'...... 2.119 1/8 ET ....... 9.572 1/8 MPH ....77.49 1/4 ET.... 14.782 1/4 MPH ..92.12 Not my fastest speed, so I know it has more.
2nd run: RT............. 0.721 60'............ 2.110 1/8 ET ...... 9.530 1/8 MPH ... 78.76 1/4 ET ......14.730 New personal best! 1/4 MPH ...92.38 Still not as fast as my best top speed yet.
I put it all on my spreadsheet and did some comparisons. After upgrading the LCA's my average 60' had dropped from 2.294 to 2.217. With the aluminum driveshaft and three runs today, my average 60' dropped even more to 2.116! Guess the 'butt dyno' was right, the aluminum driveshaft alone is making the car accelerate quicker in addition to being stronger.
All three of my 1/4 ET's were in my top 4 for the year.
Take advantage of the Shaftmasters special for October, you will like this mod.
