DGRacing said:I wonder if having wide open side pipes will draw out the backpressure and avoid any muffler damage since I still have GT500's in the rear. I asked them this question.
We haven't had any problems with mufflers, only with catalytic
converters. We don't recommend the WOT Box for use on cars with
catalytic converters, especially stock cats. The main reason is that we
can't control how long you will use the launch control. If you hold the
launch control for too long, the cats will overheat and melt down from
the unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust.
To minimize the popping when using the no-lift shift, keep the no-lift
shift time short, perhaps 200 - 250 ms. The default "auto" mode will cut
up to 350 ms.

roadhouse said:I'll be the nay sayer ???, not because I don't think this is a good product, but because my understanding is that DG will be using this in a road racing scenario rather than drag racing. I just don't see much use for this product on the road course. Now if you were dragging it would be a different story Just my thoughts...
DGRacing said:You make a good observation. It is probably more beneficial to drag than road, but the reality of road racing is similar to drag in that the differences between first and second can often be tenths of seconds.
The shift-lag (torque included) on long straights can be felt with the MT82, so if this device reduces or eliminates that, that's a few tenths gain. When I go to the magnum, I'll probably not need this device.
But I'll find out soon enough what the benefit is.
sadil said:Bump to get this back to the top! Was the Wbox delivered?
did you get it installed and tested?DGRacing said:Yep. I got it yesterday. It will be going in next Tuesday and we'll be using the dyno wheel to test it. Videos will be posted.
Steve. Consider this logic. Lets say wotbox nets you a 2/10ths gain on long straights over nonwot.
Now thats per lap. So in a 10-20 lap race thats 2-4 seconds of found time over the competition. Could be more!
