Default New personal best 174.9.

I first have to say a BIG thanks to Jim @ Speed Inc for cleaning up the tune after some small changes I made. What a difference!! Now it just blows the tires off after it comes into boost . 100-200' out.

At 18.9 lbs of boost and the co2 turned off (by mistake) we went 174.9 mph. It picked up 38 mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4. Don't ask about the et, my boost controller is fubar!!!!! You can't contriol ramp rates at all 8.41 with a 1.40 60'. The car is pulling so hard at the end of the track it's crazy! I'm ordering a AMS1000 asap! If I can get this boost under control and turn it up, I think this thing is going to fly.

Thanks again Jim!!

Andy

I heard from Sikora you had turned some sick MPH. The crazy thing is the car still has a ton of power left in it.

I can't wait to see it make a all out pass.

congrats

Jim's a turbo tuning guru for sure. 175mph on 19psi is amazing.

If you don't mind me asking, what boost controller are you having trouble with? I am about to order one, and I am undecided on the ams or E-boost.

I don't want to be changing controllers out later so rather put the right one in the first time.

need a controller for twins like you.
my setup:
forged 408,p&p L92's,102/102 combo
twin t67's
intercooled w/meth
viper spec t56
looking to make 800-1000hp and its a daily driver

thanks in advance !!!
p.s. wastegate & bov brand & size? seems like you have a reliable setup so looking for suggestions from someone with somewhat similar build.

and most of all 170+....... thats just f"n sick !!!

Well in all fairness I can't blame the controller. We had a wiring problem and could have shorted out the controller. It's a innovative. I'll give you a example. On the last run I had the controller set at 17 lbs and a ramp rate of 6. At the end of the run the controller said 0. I turned off the co2 and the controller said 79. I read the log on the car and it made 10.8 lbs pf boost! Try to race a car like that!!!!! LOL On myfirst run with the co2 off it made 18.9 lbs of boost with a 2.5 lb spring. Like I said my controller is possessed!!!!

Since I have to replace the controller I'm going to try a AMS 1000. I'm going to send my controller in to Rick over at Exile and see if they can find the problem a repair it. If they can, I'll sell it if not it's going in the trash.

You'll love the AMS1000 for the track. I've used it and the EB2. I like both controllers and am still using the EB2 on my buddies LPE Vette. Track only....AMS is the best.

At 1.40 at the 60ft, then this speed at the 1/4 that thing has to be a beast at the end of the track.
