More power!!!

So far I am happy with it, I just wish I would have gone 9:3 C/R. At the time though all research showed I needed to stay around 9:0 for pump. We know a little better now though. Now that I am going e85 I wish it was 9:8.

There is never enough power!

10.13 @ 137 mph was the best last night. I was able to run the bigs and littles. The wheel is fine and the 325/50/15 ET Streets cleared with no issues. Track was VERY well prepared and the traction was not an issue. First pass I ran the 325s at 24 psi and they hooked on a soft launch. I then let them down to 19 psi, maybe a mistake. IDK. Fact is the DA was 1000 higher then lat time out. Last time out, two weeks ago, I ran a 10.04 at 137 was on a 1900 DA and this week it was right at 2950 DA. Still trying, its just getting warmer hear and its not helping my cause.

It was here too. I almost didn't go since it was more like 3500 DA in the afternoon. We have the heat of TX and the humidity of LA here in east Texas.

Ughh, frying pan..Lol

Okay, the twin 465s are in with the ID 1000s and the 3.9 pulley ( have been on a 4.3) I am also swapping the -6 return line to a -8 this week. I am seeing more psi at the end of the rail then the beginning.

All I know is, I can't wait for the data logs to start! Car revs SO fast now with the new IDs and the 3.9 pulley.

Will try to add some pics in a few.

You give me too much credit, I will now have a 950rwhp car that runs 10s! Lol

 

[ZmanM3]

Sweet! You are close to 9's now so this may put you over. Or you could have someone good make a pass in it so you can get the vid and timeslip.

lol.. doubt that (unless you wanted it to pass tech with a 6 pt bar).

Running almost identical fuel setup and love it. E85 is awesome to say the least and the ID1000's are a dream!

Now sell me that tranny lol

Awesome Billy!! I'm drooling over here

Well, a 12point will make its way in this fall. The ID1000s, man they rev nice. As for the trans,I am not ready for the 6speed swap and may not be till next summer.

Throttle responce is fucking nuts! This is only in the garage at this time though, but it has never reved faster.

.

If you sell me your tranny that will give you a good excuse to do the 6

Finally going to have time for the return line swap tomorrow and will start datalogs. Cant wait to drive again!

 

[05stroker]

Did some dattalogs today. The car is a lot faster on the butt dyno. I have only ran to 6500 rpms in 3rd and am seeing 22.5 psi. That is the max I saw in second and a 3-2 down shift in drive on the street. I have always made max boost in third though. The car pulls MUCH harder though the entire rpm range. The A/F is richer now , 11.0-11.5 or so vrs 12.0 or so now that we made some adjustment, but we feel we need to be richer at the higher boost levels as I will most likely see 24-25 psi at the track on a full run.

Here are the screenshots from the datalog.

^ Total gibberish to me. I'll just accept the fact that I'm stupid when it comes to that stuff and leave it to the experts. I'll focus on stuff I can do well and not fuck with the stuff that baffles me.
