Thanks Josh, Sorry I could not get back to you earlier. We are flat out till Monday with the US Nationals. It's up to Tom which direction we go, but we have a ton of options. Indy

Nuts

 

I run the Bluemax 1450's. Although a real pain to scale, once dialed they run great on 92 and E85. Have fun with them, they seem to be the best of the larger injectors.

 

thanks jid2. These injectors will be used first on a local Oklahoma Evo VIII with a T67 and bolt ons using E85. Keep saying how difficult it is, that way Josh will think I'm a hero when we get them working. Seriously, weezy's car has responded very well to the E85 so I'm looking forward to gettng it back to normal IDC.

 

^^^^^^ I have a thread in the ECUflash area about scaling them. It has a few places to start in terms of latency/scaling and what I found dealing with them. E85 rulez.

Thanks for that. I'll be sure and read it.

 

We went out tonight to IRP and ran a new personal best of 11.83@114.86, worst pass was a 11.93 with a throw away of 12.11. Same setup (filter, MBC, tune) only this time with 30 psi in the tires. I'm pretty beat, started the day at 5:00 and was pretty tired by the last pass. I'm sure Tom will fill in the blanks tonight or tomorrow. Awesome job tonight Tom the tune was perfect, but the driver still needs work. Thanks, Indy

 

Unreal...Congrats again!

 

awesome work guys!!! and this is a full weight right?

 

Sorry Tom, the stock exhaust with the factory cat is staying . I know there is a high .60 to a low .70 in the car as is. A 1.699 60' is still soft, and if I can find the balance between clutch and tire were there. Again killer job on the tune, I just need to roll into the two step instead of mashing it. I guess I picked up some bad habits from hanging out with the Wilson guys, Anderson, and Line this past weekend . Indy

 

Yep, actually overweight . I'm too lazy to take anything out, and too chicken in case I get a flat on the way home .

 

Wow! That is freakin awesome Jim! I am the "other" local Evo guy lucky enough to have Tom working his voodoo on my car! Im so impressed with how far you all have gotten with your set-up! Great job! I just got my 1000cc's in and my first tank of the corn syrup in her, and I cant wait to get her dialed in! From what I have heard from Tom about Josh's car, I think the car will be a beast! Keep up the good work and congrats to you and Tom again!

Glad to hear that progress is being made. I'm looking forward to reading about the specifics of what changed, and, eventually, seeing some of the maps that were used.

 

97TSiAWD, nothing as far as parts has changed in the last several months. The tires are the only thing that we've changed since struggling in the low 12.0's. The tune is pretty much the same with minor changes based on daily atmospheric conditions. The tires are proving that with the same, or basically the same, 60 foot times, the tires are yielding up to .2 on the ET and about 2 mph over the BFG's. The reason we've posted every single outing was so those following the progress to directly attribute any change to a given improvement in times/mph. I said it originally when we first asked to have these tires built. "There's more to a tire than a 60' time". The weight, rolling resistence and traction all work together to yield maximum results. Long after a good 60' time is acquired, you're still either carrying the tires weight or pushing a low psi for another 1260'.

 

With Tom working on Josh and your tune, this gets us up to speed much quicker working with E85. Tom is sending me some 1000's next week and we will be sorting out my gas tune first, then the E85 tune. Everything else will remain the same and we will still be under 500.00 in engine mods . Thanks and welcome to the team Eric, Indy

 

At what point do you feel the stock exhaust will become the bottleneck ? The reason I ask is that I just hate the drone of most of the 3" exhausts and the other 3" are too loud for me (for a daily driver / street car). I was planning on switching back to the stock exhaust, but concerned that I may be choking the system too much - stock turbo running ~28psi on meth.
