Meth is another consideration if E85 availability near the track goes away. I really only drag a couple times a year, and it's always at combo events where I'm also on the road course, so bring fuel isn't an option for me, I'd get maybe two sessions and a couple passes before having to call it.

I never got a chance to throw my VIII down the strip with the final tune but I was expecting low 11s / high 10s with a bit more power than you've got.

Very impressive, sir, and on marginal tires, too. :)

haha, i remember that pass.

thanks, actually the sp5000's were a good tire for me, have done many 1.5 60 foots on these tires. Went 10.32 at 136 on 35r, and 10.0 at 142 on 37r on these same tires.

Hey Ed, long time no talk, I think you were the camera man on this one right?

I ran a 12.0 @ 120 mph. that was with a bad 2.02 60' time (slipping clutch, bad launches). Im at around 400whp/400wtq depending on what dyno.

Haha i wondered why it was so quiet then i saw that it was the stock catback

Yeah Dan, that was me.

The good ole days. :beer:

stock gas-cap stock valve stem fastest 1/4 mile time winner here 3 years in a row

I haven't been logged in here in years, but reading a previous post as to times, I felt I needed to keep the times accurate. I tuned IndyEvo's IX and with only changing to an MBC, different air filter and 101 octane fuel he ran an 11.6 and 116/117 mph traps. Stock exhaust all the way, stock pipes, stock intercooler, nothing changed on the engine. We did use my 17" lighter wheeels and the Hoosier DR's. It was Jim Kitasaki's 2006 Evo, not mine. I was just the tuner.

Thought adding this spreadsheet of his last 25 runs or so might help for comparison purposes. I kept track of nearly every variable such as temp, humidity, wind, wind direction etc. until the last month or so. The items in red indicate his best performance for that particular column of data such as 1/8th mph, or 60', etc. As you can see, most of his best column performances came during the same run. Jim never did well at getting his 60' times down, but in his defense, ORP wasn't prepping the track for the street gang.

How many miles do you guys have on your stock motor/stock turbo set ups? Im getting close to 95K now.. Hopefully i get a few sub 11.5 passes before i decide to do a build!

I popped the stocker in my VIII at 74k, but that was due to a bad injector. I've seen plenty of local cars near the 100k mark that post fine times stock turbo/motor.

That's good to hear. I've seen a few on the forums as well. I believe the car that holds the stock turbo/motor record which was around a 10.5 had 9X,XXX on the clock
