E85 11.2@121 stock '04 turbo SSL
For a reference , I ran 118.4 mph with 19* timing @ 7500 and He is runing what 25* of timing @ 7500 . That Should be worth 3mph or so dont you think ? But his driving is another story
Props for English for post his logs ! Good job man !
ya sucks so last time i was at track my dp was hitting like oil pan and t-case, and i was only running 10* of timing up top so next will be to fix that all up and make that timing back up to to hard core. i cant believe that tho how little timing i was running and the times and traps i was pulling.
Some things to consider are the boost that Lucas is maintaining at high rpm due in part to his radical CAI design, the amount of boost overall, the fact that its Lucas, and the crazy things that E90 can let you do. Just to be perfectly clear E85 is E98 with CRAP gas mixed in it to bring it down to 85%. They are not adding 92 or even 87 for that 15%. Lucas is mixing E98 with good pumpgas and getting 5* of timing or so over his E85 tune. NW air is probably the highest oxygen content available for the coolest temps as well. Humidity is generally fairly low, air temps are reasonable and we have LOTS OF FORESTS which mean lots of available oxidizer.
Lucas has a Talon that has an FP Red on it that is as old as the car I swear and it ran 10.8-11.0 at 130 consistently. It dyno'd at 478 on the same dyno that he dyno'd at 429. Bottom line is Lucas can make anything fast. There are fast cars that almost anyone can drive fast and then are fast drivers that can make almost any car fast.
