I'm not sure you want to but for this pass what kind of timing are you running at full boost? Are you adding in any timing while it is on the transbrake?

I'm running NGK 7's, 16 total timing at WOT and we have it at 22 degrees timing while on the transbrake at 3k. I also have a water/meth kit that kicks on at 10lbs of boost. My AFR is around 10.5 right now at WOT. This is my first try at turbo's and tuning so just want to make sure I don't do anything stupid. This is on E85 and no intercooler. I run 15lbs total boost. I think this is a very conservative tune. I drive it everywhere without issues. However, I don't want to be too conservative. Is there anything here that you see that I should change?

You guys have definitely figured this stuff out. How much boost did you run on that pass?

You are correct, on a track on slicks I think I could leave on 15-20lbs with a simple MBC and boost noid to switch to the high setting within probably 75ft.

Same motor that was in the rx7, got put in the ltd last year, back in the rx7 last fall, and now back in the ltd. It'll live its life out in the ltd now, I'm by no means easy on it and it keeps going 2 years later!

Maxxmitchell and I build them for others on the side, currently we are booked up and not taking any others for awhile.

That pass was on 22lbs of boost with a super slow ramp to it. As far as tune I'd rather not comment anymore on what we do on our tuning, we have a lot of testing to figure out how to make them live.

Stock ring gap? Head studs? Rod bolts? Oh, and definitely impressive, especially on a 26" tire!

No problem. I don't blame you. You already have helped me a bunch and mine is living so I can't complain. It just needs to be a little faster. lol

God, I absolutely LOVE this car.

I followed the other thread, but this one just takes the cake.
Such a sweet ride.

LOL. You have got to have more fun with this car then the RX7. I would love to video all the unsuspecting people in the crowd as this car goes down the track.
The expressions on everybody's face must be classic.

What does the rear suspension consist of?

OMG, can I borrow your car for the street races in LA, lol. I will give you half, we should be rick on about a month if I dont get killed!! I could only imagine how much $$$ you could make using that LTD super sleeper, I woulda never thought it would run like that, amazing!

Great job with the setup, seems to be working VERY well, so jelous, soon I will have a mid mount turbo in my LS1 98 Tacoma, however I cant see 9s ever happening for me since I will be spinning tires all the way down the track.

Love what you did there, lol...
