Well I decided to take the car out to Qualcomm last night and make a few passes. I have not raced the car since converting to E-85 about 5 months ago, and was curious how the corn fuel would do vs the previous C-16 tune.
Run 1: 60 ft- 1.86
1/8 et- 7.56
1/8 mph- 92.40
So it may be that I'm a little rusty or that the tracks preperation is just crap as usual, I'll settle for a combination of both. I spun badly off the line, and I also tried running out third but met the rev limiter at 8 and grabbed 4th since I still had another 10-15 ft.
Run 2: 60 ft- 1.96
1/8 et- 7.55
1/8 mph- 97.17
This run I didn't hesitate and grabbed 4th gear @ 7k and was surprised how much mph i picked up.
Have i mentioned that I Hate 1/8 mile tracks yet(especially this one)? Hopefully I will get to one of the few 1/4 mile tracks this year and see what this translates to on the big end. One thing is for certain though and that is a Shep tranny will be my next mod!

Let me know what you think.

 

Oh I suppose my power figures would help. 402whp and 370wtq@28 psi. Dyno Dynamics.

 

thats pretty good, with those times you should be in the mid 11's....Good job just get that 60' down and low 11's are possible.

 

In the 1/8 mile @ Irwindale Speedway I was able to run a best of 7.59 and a 1.6 foot in the 1/8......And that was @360HP_DynoJet...@25/26psi 100 octane,,,
So you should be in the low 7's maybe high 6's....Just keep going back and get more drag time... NICE TIMES....

Thanks Ant. I used to consistently hit between 1.64-1.71 short times on the stock advan's, but this is the first time drag racing in probably 18 months and I didn't make any adjustments to tire pressure, or my two step(6800rpm). I just wanted to see how the car felt with E-85, and I'm more then happy with the outcome. Hopefully I will get up to Autoclub dragway sometime this spring/summer.

 

I went 6.8 @ 101 with my fpgreen on e85, you just need to get that 60ft down, should go low 7s.

 

My best runs where done on bald stock ADVANS,,,@20 psi in the tires..I think ur 2step is a little to high that's why ur spining..and a cold track,,you need to adjust to the track conditions,,and you will run some good times,,
I wanna head down there one day and run on that track,,,

 

You need to lower your 2-step. I launched at 5000 RPM at full tire pressure and pulled 1.75 60 foot times. Your MPH in the 1/8 is good, but then again you're on E85. I did 90 MPH on straight 93 octane with a lot less mods than you. I'm not bashing you (everyone knows my times are not impressive as I haven't drag raced in over half a decade). I'm just trying to help you out. I think your car has a LOT more potential in it.
