24.5 psi and the car is 1.5 mph faster. Race weight was 3,024 pounds. Boost duty values are all different then before. Had to retune the whole car. Ditching the check valves the car dosent need as much fuel. Duty cycle has fallen 15% at that same trap speed so thats awesome! Had a fan go bad, the alternator start acting goofy but overall a successful track outing! About starting out where i left off. It was hot and humid as hell today as well 85-90 degrees. Son of a ... bitch

What type of fuel are you running currently? Will be very surprised if those aem 380s can reach 1350whp on ethanol based fuel.. Seems like a bargain

I am running pump e85.

Over the winter I drilled out the check valve fittings in the pump and went from 100-110 duty cycle down to 85's duty cycle. Im sure it has 1,450whp in them. Ive gone 177.x mph. Im thinking 184-185 when everything is capped but I may be wrong. No one thought Id do 155 on two of these pumps.

First three passes I battled traction. 4th pass i left the limiters loose and rode out a 400 foot wheelie. two more passes I aborted due to big wheelies.
7.8 on the 7th pass.
7.9, 7.8, 7.78, 7.77, 7.75 on the last passes. Light pedal on all of them to keep the front down.
181.48 on 26.5 psi. Car is 3,024 race weight. Finally getting the car working again. I really have to work on getting the 60 and 330 down.
Very happy with how it runs though. I made 12 passes

I cut a 1.22 but i had to let out right about/after the 60. The car power wheelied once it hit 21 psi in first gear. came down pretty hard on the first big wheelie so didnt want to chance breaking something.

I'm more impressed with the 1500 pulling a trailer of that size with no squat and no issues. 1500's now days are the 2500's of the 2005-2010.

In all honesty it yanks the **** out of it. Until 65-70 you cant even feel it. Still does zero to 60 in 8 seconds flat with my car in it. Trailer is 3,880 and car with tools is probably 3,000.
Im very happy with it outside of the fact it gets 8.5-9mpg going 80-85 on the highway with it.

truck gets 22.5 highway at 82-83mph. It is awesome. I love it.

At first I was like 80-85 while towing is nuts and thats gotta be like 3.5k rpm...Then I looked these up and they only come with a 3.23 gear and it looks like you got the 22's. So your probably a lot lower in rpm. But dang!!! 80-85 towing, yea, 9mpg isnt to bad for that lol. I get about 18mpg out of mine going 70 @2k rpm.

In tow haul mode I think it runs right around 2,800 at 85. It just gets poor mileage going 65. Might as well get there sooner lol

Ive been getting killer highway and average mileage with it. I love this thing.

I just tuned it last week because my friend just did some tuning on his and ran 13.49 lol
