Nice build. Love the downpipe placement and 6.0 badges. Nice looking mustang too.

 

very nice.
that thing is moving out pretty damn good!!
should have no problems going 9s.

 

thats a big "if" right there. my driving does this car no favors! this is by far faster then any of my previous "fast cars", so it is taking some getting used to. i am trying to pick up a set of strange front shocks to replace the 90/10's i have on the front right now. i've got the strange rear shocks on and they are a huge improvement over the 50/50's i was running previously. brooks watched me leave a coupe of times and came to the consensus that my front shocks are rebounding way too fast and unloading the rear end.

the 6.3 was with a real lazy 1.55 60' and per the log i pedaled it pretty good right out of the hole (i guess i was anticipating spinning out of the hole). then around mid track i backed out of the gas slightly for some reason (~92% tps). like i said, i haven't done this car any favors! once i can get the short game dialed in i'd like to put some more timing in it and see if it can go "fast". it's at 11.5* total advance right now on 75/25 meth/water. i "should" be able to at least get 15* i'd think? not sure what that's worth hp wise, but from what i understand a couple of *'s can mean quite a bit in this game.

 

it sounds like you may not be hitting the tire hard enough. its funny, when i was leaving on 4psi boost and running 1.58-1.70 60 fts, the thing would slip and slide all over the place.

when i started leaving with 11psi boost and more rpms, the tire would just plant and GO

what kind of iat are you seeing with the water/meth? with the big old nozzle you have im sure you can up the boost

 

wtf bro thats a lil werid, i wouldnt go around posting my ***** on the internet

 

it was an photo from our engagement photos, since i don't have a great camera it's one of the higher quality pics of the car. i figured someone would flame, but oh well, a photo of two of my ladies can't be too bad.

 

i just think the track sucked. a couple of people managed some decent short times, but most folks were fighting it. this was my first time out on the et street radials. i tried leaving at 8psi on the first pass and just blew the tires off, tried the next one at 8psi again and same issue. next pass i tried at around 2-3psi off the 2 step and blew them off, so on the last pass i barely got up on the converter and left at 102kpa (aka, no boost).

iats at the start of the passes were ~90-100 at the end i was seeing high 60's, low 70's.

 

We knw u have more pics lol where in dfw r u? Do u go to kdale alot?

 

try to go as much as possible, i live pretty close (north arlington). this is only the 2nd time out with the turbo setup (first time was a learning experience, car was pulling a ton of timing, no meth injection, no 2 step, etc.) this time was better but the track simply didn't hold.

 

first time out with a new setup is always a learning experience.

 

thanks everyone, here are the 3 runs i made today all new best
[youtube]6EZQIvGUkQQ[/youtube]
was rushing and red lighted and only left at 3psi, ran 6.2@116 w/1.55 60'
[youtube]sgSyWnZompE[/youtube]
this is the run earlier, left at 7psi, 1.49 60', track held good, went 6.1@117

final run of the next, upped the 2 step a few hundred rpm but the track was fading fast, held it right out of hole but spun hard a few feet out, had to let completely out, went 6.3@115mph w/a 1.55 60'

 

sorry, cant see the vids on this pc. what track and how much total boost. you'll be in the 5s soon enough.

how are you liking the water injection. are you injecting water, meth or a mix of both?

 

at kdale, 15psi, injecting 80/20 mix of meth/water through a single #14 nozzle. my iat's go from 100-110* at the start line to ~70* going through the traps. only running 14.5* of advance currently, might try to move that up a little, but I need to get the afr leaned up first (all of these runs were @ 10.5-10.7afr) so it might have a little more mph in it.

 

damn I was at kdale saturday with two of my nova buddies.

116 mph, when you get the launch right is 5.80s in the eighth mile, and the car looks like its hardly trying.

let me get this right, are you on pump gas?

also #14 nozzle, is that 14gph?

finally, what is water temp at the start of the pass vs when you cross the line?

nice build man. did you beat that altered?
Im gonna have to come out to kdale so we can line up

 

racetrac (or sams club) 93 octane + 80/20 meth/water mix sprayed through a 14 gallon per hour nozzle a few inches in front of my IAT.

I have the IAT vs. timing table set to pull timing pretty aggressively in case the meth fails (iat's drop pretty much instantly from 100+ to 70's as soon as I am in boost.

I am using the pressure switch set at 10psi to make sure i don't activate it on the 2 step (i can make right around 8psi on 2 step).

As for engine temp it is right at 196 when I leave the line and at 196 when I cross the finish line (196 is my thermostat temp). I'm sure as it gets hotter I'll start seeing some delta but for now I see no move in ECT pre/post run.

I did pull my intake this weekend and swap the coolant crossover to the ls1 style and modded my ls6 intake to fit, might be over kill but after seeing the other guy toast his #7 I figured it was worth the 10 bucks I paid for the cross over pipe!

Oh, and I went 117mph

 

This might help to visualize what's going on with the IAT's, the bottom chart with the red line is IAT temp, it peaks at 104* right at the start of the run, then you can see over the next second or so it drops to 70*.

You can tell when the run begins by looking at the top chart, the green line is speed, the part of the graph leading up is me building boost on the 2 step, only saw 4psi of boost when I left (this was the 6.1 @117 run)

 

Have you weighed the car? If so, what does it weigh with you out of it?

 

never weighed it, on one hand i'd think it would be fairly light (glass hood/trunk lid, racing seats, skinnies), but on the other hand the iron block is not the lightest engine, the t6 s400 is heavy as hell, 4" intercooler, all the hot/cold piping, the car has AC (GM compressor, condenser, evaperator, accumulator mated with the ford ac/heater box inside), still has a dash/radio carpet with sound deadner, 10 point cage, full length subframes, etc.). obviously i need to get it on some scales, but seems like for every lb i've dropped i've added it back in one way or another.

 

So it would probably weigh what a stock coupe weighs?

 

Prob in that area. My best guess would be around 3k + me (200lb). I am also a one man crew and I drive my car to/from track so I have tools/fire extinguisher, laptop, oil/trans fluid, etc. in the car with me at all times LOL! Anything I think I might need has to come along for the ride!
