Me too, lol. Many people think an 8.27 is so close to a 7 second pass but it’s actually a world away. If you look @ any drag car they all have solid rear ends / 4 link setups. I think that’s what it will take to go 7's safely, that and maybe 100-200 more HP.
I want to run another 8.2x pass, and maybe dip into the 8.1x's. I’m in the process of changing a couple things.

• Install Kenny bell boost a pump
• Install a new set of D2 drag coil overs and corner balance the car
• Enable no lift shifting
• Weld the stock rear end or upgrade to a Evo 8/9 rear end with the 12 plate option
• Fabricate a rear diffuser

I would love to better my 171.8 mph trap speed and get it closer to 175 mph!

Shootout 2012

I had the best time racing this past weekend and could not thank the team @ Boostin Performance enough for all the support!! Thanks Kiggly Racing, Sparktech, and Sheptrans for their great products and customer support. The 20th annual DSM/Evo Shootout was packed, people everywhere. In the 7 years I've been going, this year was by far the biggest turnout I've seen. The people where great and it truly feels like the DSM/Evo community is stronger then ever before. I went to the shootout with 2 goals in mind. The car I brought to shootout had to be capable of both, and it was.

• Win the Quick 16 class
• Come home with a personal best

For the first round of qualifying the car was ready to go and I felt very confident. Lined the car up next to Emery's RS, launched the car and spun all the way though 1st and 2nd. I though the clutch was slipping but when I hit 3rd, it held great. I hit 4th nice and easy and the clutch was definitely not slipping. The Demon went 8.83 @ 167. The track was not as good as I thought it was going to be.
After looking at the AEM EMS log and video, the car was spinning all the way thru 4th. I think with less power the car would have gone faster than 8.83 given the track conditions. I decided to dial the car back. I turned the boost down 4psi. I wanted to feel the track out on Sunday before I turned things back up.


Lined up next to the Ostar Motorsports 1G. I knew this car was very fast and I could not take it easy like I was hoping for in the first round. The car left well and laid one continuous path of rubber thru first and second. With the boost turned down the car went faster than the 8.83, and went 8.67 @ 167. I felt good about the win and was ready for the next round.


Lined up next to Emery's RS for the second time. In the staging lanes I wondered if turning the boost down was the right choice. We staged the cars and I wanted to cut the best light possible. We both left with good lights but both bogged off of the line. When we both got into boost in first gear, we were right next to each other. I hit second gear and the Demon pulled to the center line hard, so I steered it back into the grove and hit 3rd - the track was still not the greatest. I held Emery off and went 9.63 @ 169.9.


Same car that took me out last year, The Abele brother's black 1G. I was ready for the rematch. After I staged the Demon the officials stopped the 1G from racing. I guess the car started to leak coolant on the line. With the car staged I saw his red light, I launched the car and felt one of the most violent 60fts ever. The Demon cut a 1.37 60 ft, and I decided not to make a solo pass, and take the easy win.


Junk Box vs. Red Demon, this made for an all Boostin Performance Final in the Quick 16. In my eyes, I could not lose no matter what the outcome. I could not be more proud of Joey and the way he and his car have represented the shop. Joey ran within .06 of his personal best, and drove the car like a complete animal!! Running consistent passes all weekend, Joey had a best of 9.0. I take more pride in a customer’s car going fast then I do with my own. The satisfaction in seeing a customer’s car do well, far surpasses anything I feel with my own car.
The Red Demon ended up going 8.57 @ 168 mph in the finals.


I want to thank all of our supporters, customers, and friends for all their help this year, It would not be possible without you. I also want to thank my good friend Rick for all his help at the shop. He called in sick to work, worked an all-nighter with me the night before we left just to make sure our customer's cars were ready. Most of all I need to thank my wife, Kristin. She has pushed me to follow my dream and without her Boostin Performance and the Red Demon would not exist. She is my pit crew, crew chief, #1 fan, and the best wife I could ask for.

 

i read that the EVO guys upgrade the the 3000GT rears. i am sure you would know more about that then i would but if your looking to do a EVO rear maybe you should just go to the 3000GT rear.

i could be totally wrong though but i figured if its the truth then you would want to look into it

 

Amazing driving once again Devin. I love how you are sticking it to the auto guys!! haha

I was bummed on the finals with Joey not getting into 2nd like he wanted. He told me he was so nervous up against you, he just tried to bang it into 2nd, and well...the car wasnt having it haha.

Either way, nice to see a Boostin Peformance Duo in the finals, you should be proud!

I actually bought a 3000 gt rear end last year; it will not fit into the rear sub frame. The reason for the 3000 gt upgrade is for the stronger ring and pinion gears. Since I’ve been using the Front Line Fabrications diff cover I have not had any ring/pinion issues, so putting in a 20 lb heaver diff in the car for no reason is not what I’m looking to do. No need for 3000 gt rear end upgrades with this bad boy, I think they make them for Evo's as well. With this cover you preload the differential carrier bearing caps, this helps get rid of ring gear deflection. Give Andrew a call @ FrontLineFab

The problem I’m having is with the viscous coupler in the dsm rear end. With a Viscous there is never true lockup, it’s always moving power from side to side. When I’ve got the car @ full power it moves side to side every time the viscous moves the power, and it’s getting to dangerous.

Devin

 

the 3000gt rear end is 20lbs heavier then then evo rear end? FFFF THAT. haha.. thanks for the detailed description. i will look into. currently i have the TRE rear end with HD side cover, 12 plate upgrade and his factory modded rear cover. i will look into the cover your talking about.

 

I dont think he was nervous, I just think he was going for the kill

Devin

 

Congrats again Devin! It was a blast being in the finals Making it in all Boostin final! I think you will have no problem dipping into the 8.1 territory. Can't wait till we make it back out to the track in a couple weeks!

P.S. I didn't get nervous in the finals, I was just going for the kill like you said lol,. Either way it was a blast! Can't wait till next years Shootout

 

Excited to see more changes being made to the demon. Let me know if you need help making a rear diffuser

 

Congrats on the WIN Devin
Love the vid from side of Demon and Yeah we waiting too for some low 8sec slips )

What boost controller you using pls??

And...whats Kenny bell boost a pump??

Venca / DSMer from Czech B)

 

Something mustang owners use to momentarily increase voltage at the pump

 

Are you using the FP 3794 or are you using a PTE 6766? I heard PTE but this thread says FP so I was confused. If you have used both how did they compare in your personal experience?

 

Im using a AEM EBCS, I also use the option in AEM for boost by vehical speed.

The boost a pump bumps up voltage to the fuel pump, Im looking to go up to around 16v+.

I have used both turbo's and currently its on a 67/66. Both turbo's were within 10 hp of each on the Dyno, but on differant days so I dont have a direct comparison. The 3794 will go back on the car I will be changing the turbo on the dyno for a direct comparison, so stay tuned!!
