Why wouldn't it be better to just hit WOT?

 

right before i race someone i put on my cruise control and use the acc increase button

 

looooool bet you win often

 

lol. jocker

 

so is this the kind of "tech" you get from h-t?

and you guys are on here because?...............

thanks for the help...

 

Why wouldn't you want to go WOT when racing, your doing it to win and gradually getting on the gas while your opponent is mashing the pedal isn't going to help you.

As for the other two, drive the car how you want to drive it. Your question is way too broad and based upon an individuals (you) driving style. Don't like to beat on your car? Then don't WOT all the time. Want to save gas? Then don't WOT all the time.

 

So are you trying to lose???

Stupid questions get stupid answers.

 

The only thing that I can think of is maybe your car bogs when you punch the gas. Cars should not do this, therefore you should do a tune up

 

Actually....its a very good question. There is multiple things that play into this, one is the ECU and open loop vs closed loop mode (after 80% throttle it kicks into open loop) and then you have the intake air velocity. In general the ECU runs richer and more timing in open loop mode which tends to be better for power, thus WOT is better. However, because of the "ramming" effect that you get from higher intake velocities, at lower RPMs you generally get a little more power by closing the TB off a bit and increasing the air velocity (look into throttle body sizing if you want to get into that more). Thus, I think its probably a valid question, but generally if you're "racing" then you're slipping the clutch from 4k+ and staying above 5k the entire time, thus you should just keep it at WOT. However cruising around town say in 4th gear at 2500rpms, you will actually get more power from partial throttle.....

 

I roll into WOT. Mind you, it is pretty quick. Flooring a car at low RPM can actually reduce power. The two-stage intake manifold on the GSR compensates for this somewhat. The newer cars with electronic throttles will not allow WOT at low RPM because it reduces both power and fuel economy.

maybe you just didn't know how to intelligently articulate such an answer...thus you bash with such an unintelligible answer.

anyway..thanks bud.

Thank you for the input. I appreciate it!!!

 

Thats like starting off an Olympic race with a mild jog.

--- I didn't know running on foot was comparable to racing a car. lol

 

it is when u wanna gradually increase ur speed

 

also depends on what type of racing you're doing. if you're drag racing, you'll never be below 6-7k rpm anyway so WOT is best. but if you're on a road course or auto-x, rolling into the throttle after a turn is going to be much better.

Care to elaborate on this more?

i should've said for most setups

 

Still don't understand.

 

stop bumping this IMO 'stupid' thread.

 

I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing.

 

well, if your on the drag strip with street tires, you might want to be at part throttle when launching in order to to get to much wheel spin but you still want to take off fast.
3000 rpm and slip the clutch. Hold at that rpm until you get traction and then WOT

Good question by the way!!!
