Run it full ***** at least once if you are trying to sell it. If you guys can hit 10.50s at 125 at ~ 400-450 hp imagine what would happen with 700+! A solid 9 second car will sell for much more than a mid 10 second car.

Plus I wanna see it run with al its got

It's making 650 awhp on the pump gas and methanol at 30 PSI. It can make 40 PSI on race gas. We've only run it at the track twice now. Once with the 2.0 and it did 11.2 and right off the trailer this time it did 10.92 the first pass (stroker now). Not to mention the launch kind of sucked and he was spinning all the way into 2nd. They only VHTed the track once in the morning. It's def a 9 sec car. We didn't paln on going to the track this weekend. We actually had a drift event that got cancelled...so we decided to go Saturday and the race was on Sunday.

I guess this is why I never dyno my car At Buschurs my car would be in the high 400s, on AMS' dyno I suppose around 525-550, on yours I guess it would be near 700?

That's why you have to use the same dyno everytime. There is some margin of error from dyno to dyno even if it's the same manufacturer. Ours is a dynojet awd dyno. I guess that's the one most people use. I know mustangs are popular, too. So how do you make 700 and never see a dyno? You have to tune it somehow.

here's a cool little article about differences in dynos

Here's the timeslip for people looking at this thread.


R/T .243
60 1.690
330 4.527
1/8 6.843
MPH 106.34
1000 8.819
1/4 10.553
MPH 125.63

Assuming yours was making ~650 hp and had a trapspeed of ~125 mph... mine had a trapspeed of ~129 mph. Obviously mine was making at least 50 hp more than yours on your pumpgas/meth run.

I tune it somewhat on the freeway near my house (Starting to get hard to do considering I can only do 3rd gear pulls and Im still going over 100). I tune the rest at the track while running it. It still isnt tuned all that well though.

I wouldn't mind going to a dyno sometime but I am afraid of dynos... too many cars jumping off rollers, blowing motors, etc, etc.... I guess if it was cheap enough I would strap mine down but not for ~$300 like most places want.

Well WI is a little far for you to come here. We only charge $150/hr and that includes the tuning. I've never heard of anyone car comming off rollers around here (I know it happens). Blowing motors is a tuner thing. They must suck
