Drove to Island dragway friday for street night grudge races. Unfortunately I arrived at the track with 3/4 tank of E-85 and it was 89 degrees yesterday with high humidity, it felt like you could cut the air with a knife..So I just figured if I beat my best time in this weather I would be happy, and luckily I did, barely

This is the first time I have been to a track that had ANY kind of traction in at least 5 trips. My first run I forgot to drop my tire pressures down from 38psi and proceded to leave the line very slowly but leaving an actual cloud of tire smoke behind lol! After I dropped the pressure I was albe to cut average 60 ft. times and I was ok with that.

I have been having trouble with my boost controller all day it refused to give me any more then 25psi and if I tried setting it higher it would spike and drop from 22-16psi causing misfires ect. so I was not a happy camper..After getting it to at least stabilize I was able to spike 24psi and hold to 19-20 by the top of fourth.

I know this car has a decent amount left in it after I sort out the boost controll, replace the entire stock intake, and run with alittle less gas on a cooler less humid day, but with the E85 I was able to hot lap 5 passes in a row with no ill effects or heat soak..I was hitting misc. 1 counts of knock occasionally.

I know my trap speeds are low, and I have hit higher on better conditions, but keep in mind I am using the MR 6 speed, weather, and 3/4 tank I am happy..

A guy came up to me aking what clutch I had since he has never seen an evo go through the gears that way, he said I was chirping every gear! I always lift to shift but I do it as fast as possible
Here are some pics and vid.
I am on the right side of the timeslip

Better times coming soon!!!

 

Ah, like looking at my own MR, since you are my mirror image of racing. I knew you'd get that 11.8 with no problem, and I'm certain you'll drop even lower once you get a working MBC. You should be rocking 30psi all day long on that E-85, so get that MBC figured out and start killing that 8000rpm rev limiter in 4th, haha.

I only chirp 2nd sometimes (22psi in the tires), but I never did that before E-85.

As a reference, I'm hitting 93mph in the 1/8th, too...sometimes less, but right around there.

 

115 and 11.8 seems good to me, plus good shifting. Im guessing you make arround 310-315 on a mustang dyno? Oh crap you stated that you were havign boost issues. I bet you can make more if the mbc worked correctly.

 

I will post a log of boost for you to laugh at..The 1/8th and quarter traps on the slip are not the highest of the night either, I think I even hit 94..My logs actually show me hitting 8400RPM and alot of the times I was letting off before I even crossed the line, mabye my 245/45 RE01R's are wearing down..

 

I am basically done with dynos' they never hold a tune that coorelates to the street or track and I have been on a dynodynamics load bearing and mustang load bearing dyno..I always have to make changes to a dyno tune to basically get the tune to work on the street..My car has went 117.9 with what I feel is less power and better track conditions so we'll see.

 

nice job driving the **** out of it...it took me 117mph to get into the 11's

 

turbo lag WTF?!?!? lol

 

Well, it took me 117 as well so don't feel too bad
Different track last year though.

 

More vids!

There they are!

 

I wish we had a pump station with E85!!!! Nice ride and times!

 

Man that is nice shifting? Havent had a chance to try my ntls yet, but if i could rip through the gears like that.......... . anyway, very nice runs man. e-85 is def. the shat.

 

nice runs!
