Realistic 0-60mph times

Just curious what everyone is getting for their 0-60 times. I installed a bov valve on my stock fiesta and for some reason, it feels weaker. I don't really feel being glued to my chair under hard acceleration anymore.

I think the stock 0-60 is 7 or 7.6 seconds ?
While it gets to 40mph in a hurry, you'll have to do some decent shifting for 60.

I think you're going to have to do more than just replace the blow-off valve to get any performance benefit.


Per website for quick reference...

I think it's capable of 7.x with some decent shifting.

Your car feeling a little weaker isn't too surprising...after all you did just install a modification that releases pressure into the atmosphere as opposed to recirculating it.

Yeah we have to shift twice so it's hard. I think I was getting around 7.3 stock turbo. I did 5.4 on DHM GT290r and that was with a terrible 60ft time. Way too much tire spinning haha.
