More 93 octane numbers, another record by just a few HP
Now, the pump gas. I said "93 octane from I don't know where" simply because I drained this 93 out of VWJeff's car and had it sitting in the can I put it in. I tuned the VWJeff's car on this 93 octane he showed up at our shop with and then dumped it into this car. VWJeff can chime in and let us know where the fuel was from but it is 93 octane.

For the record. I have little control over what a customer does with his car after we build it. What I'd like to do with them and what happens is two completely different things.
What I'd like to do is drive each car we build to the track and then put the best driver I have in them and see what they run. Unfortunately that doesn't happen very often. This is in reference to any statements about non of the pump gas EVO's we built running at the track. This is not true.
Last year we built Trent's car and at the May Shootout we were the first to break 500 whp on pump gas. Trent's car has NEVER been touched and drives 122 miles round trip to work. The car has gone 10.6 at 135 mph on 93 octane on normal radial tires.
Then Eric's car was just finished a month or so ago. It made 554, he took it to the track two weeks ago and the very first pass ran a 10.9 at 134.7 mph.
Then last week Tim picked up his car, 553 whp, his first pass was his best but he knew they were going to throw him out so he lifted at the 1/8th mile, mistake because the rest of the night he fought traction, ran a 11.4'ish at 129.xx mph.
The one car I really wanted to see run was Peter's and he only had it at the track once where he was very quickly thrown out after his first pass. His first pass was 140 mph and was last summer on race gas. That car made 585 on pump on our dyno. George is the new owner and I hope to see him run it soon.
So much for nobody running their cars.
To put the HP these cars are making into perspective. Almost two years ago my car made only 542 on C16 on our dyno. It ran a 9.97 at 142 mph on Neova's like that. Last year my car made 640 and ran a 9.65 at 151 mph. This week I expect the car to go over 700 whp.
Oh, keep in mind this is on a little T3 GT35r.
Thanks for clarifying Jeff on the fuel.

[edited because that sigh smile above got in there by accident! darn trackpad!]
Indy I think $100 was a reasonable offer from my perspective to view a thread or two sitting in front of a keyboard in the Caribbean
Dave any thoughts on why hardly anymore power was available going from pump to race fuel?

He said the turbo is out of breathe!
