My first time at the track with this car and first time using 2step.
ras gas either 101 or 104 dont know
full weight during third run boost spiked at 30 psi

 

wow nice times.

 

good times, you shoul dbe low 12's once the weather cools down..

 

It's too damn hot out here.

 

thanks, im pleased now only 11's someday

 

yeah 11'3 would be sweet.. upgrade your turbo or run some nitrous lol..

 

ats clutch next week, and hks cams when ever they are released

 

your clutch already going out??? I heard people get better times with there stock clutch....

 

I know it was hot, but with race gas on a IX with all that money spent, I'd be one pissy guy if I only trapped 109. I'm guessing the 330whp/330wtq were done on a 50-degree day and also with pump gas? I say that, because 109.xx traps mean 300whp on a Dynojet (uncorrected).

Btw, join us in the drag racing forum from now on, and great job improving from your first to 3rd run by getting a 1.72 60'. That's very good, but the trap speeds are disappointing - your driving is not.

 

I'd be happy with 109 traps in 108F night temps. haha.

 

clutch is fine just might as well do it while i can.

as for the traps i think it has something to do with the boost controller. it is the apex avcr and it was in learn mode or whatever but i kept spiking 2.2 bar so i turned that off for the track and im still figuring it out. it was dyno at mynes in the middle of the day temp like 107 on pump then on race. pump hit 300 hp at 292 tq with ecuflash

 

I would wait on the clutch and spend money else where...maybe a fuel pump...

 

IX fuel pump is bigger than viii, plus thats only 100 dollars

 

Hmm, wait on the clutch to get a fuel pump? No, he will need the clutch, but he doesn't need ATS. Unfortunately, Mynes probably talked him into one, though.

I would be happy with 109mph traps in an 8 with basic mods on race gas maybe. I remember doing 12.1s @ 111.xx in 95-degree weather with 80% humidity and a density altitude of 3300. The IX with all that money spent should be faster - maybe it will be when he figures out how to use the AVCR. Now that I look closely, that's nearly $4000 worth of mods...ouch.

 

i just added up the reciepts and it comes out to about 2500. i had all of this on my VIII. my VIII trapped 114 with the addition of 264s
