Let me know what you all think.
Ran 4 times,
Best time was:

R/T: 1.838
330: 5.283
1/8: 8.152
MPH: 86.82
1000: 10.650
1/4: 12.749
MPH: 107.86

I think my car is slow for what it has...

HKS280/272
Full TXS TBE no cat
jestr e-tune
TXS IC
mbc/bov/exedy twin
10.5hs/ss o2
walbro/BR cone

 

got any logs from the run?

 

Well you do have an VIII but yeah, you can definitely do better than that. I ran that time in my IX with similar mods except the cams and the IC on stock clutch.

60 ft can make a hell of a difference.

 

you can't compare an IX to a VIII.

 

No logs, But no more than 6 counts of knock as a have the CEL Knock patch..
I have some 1-4 gear pulls from the other night though

 

93 octane?

how much boost do you hit in say a 3rd or 4th gear spike?

 

93, spike 22-23

 

hmmm seems like it would do 110 or so, how's the shifting?

 

with those mods on a IX you should be in the 11's i would think. last night i was at the track with this guy. in my IX MR with just a dirty K&N filter and an HKS catback i ran a 12.82 @ 107.41 with a 1.867 60'. i was shooting for 12.6-12.7 but the lines were too long to wait for another run.

 

stock clutch?

 

if you're talking about me...yes, stock clutch with 54k miles on it.

 

The power is there, but the driving is not. Don't take my words personal (because I too am a horrible driver) I am just saying your car has 110mph+ traps in it. You trapped 86.82mph in the 1/8th, something is slowing you down in the back half of your runs.

 

No offense taken, I'm happy I at least hit a 1.8 60'. I'm in 4th on the second half so I don't know why it seems to fall off? My friends tell me a have a mean a$$ 4th so I dunno...
I'm getting a tuning subscription with Jestr soon so I'm sure he'll get that taken care of!

Any ideas though on what could cause me not to gain 23-25 mph in the back half?

 

You could be shifting to slowly into 4th or it could be something else. But I am big believer in practice makes perfect.

 

if you shifted into 4th and started knocking enough to pull timing all the way to redline that would suck the life out of what would have been a 110mph trap.
