I had a good time today, his car moves out! Once he gets a little practice in we'll line up again from a dig

Nice runs. GTX definitely has a strong midrange now.

Get an intercooler on that GTX! My Gen 3 went 12.6@112 with street tires and 100 octane. I didn't have headers either.

The only change from last time was the sticky tires so he was able to start at a lower speed where those cars really shine.

This.

There were other minor changes but nothing that would amount to anything substantial. It's the same car with a little more traction.

I can't wait to see this thing go down the track. At the worst it's gonna run low 12's. It MAY break 11s if he can get a ~1.7 60'.

You guys are shooting for high 11's on that GTX's current setup? Wasn't the G8 off spray running high 12's?

These cars are strong from a dig, and that's about it. If he can get traction it'll be in the low 12 to high 11 range. On a prepped surface with those hoosiers I can see it happening.

I gotcha, why run meth on top of e85? I figure e85 if good quality ethanol content would be all you'd need. When are you guys going to the strip again? I'm shooting for similar numbers on my next outing after changing a few things on the bimmer and running in cooler weather.

The m90 is a horrific supercharger. Without the meth he can't run as much timing and it starts knocking pretty good at speed. The meth is a bit of a bandaid for hoping the engine doesn't blow up because of how super heated the chambers get.
