Default got my 9 if only in my mind.

went to my local track today and the track was slick and they didn't prep at all not even a little spray. so as it kept getting better i decided to try trophy. so i pulled up for a 1/8 mile bracket and the car hooked better than it has so i ran it out the back door best run it ever made. it ran a 6.46 @ 109.75 but in brackets they don't turn on the 1/4 mile timers. so i'll never know. i came back and made a heat soaked pass about 5 mins after that run and ran 6.64 @109.46 and 10.17 @ 136.50 mph . so doing the math i made it but i have made a lot of runs in the car and I'm sure it was mid 9.90s but i cant prove it so . all i can say is i'll try again and this time I'm getting slicks and taking off the radials . had a good time and that is why i race.

Toss slicks on and turn up the boost on launch. I can usually get low 1.4s out there on slicks. Radials i think my best was like mid 1.5s. Keep at it, you'll get it

yes still holding solid afr's at 136+ mph on e85. but I never see the high side of 5600 rpm. it likes to work and with the 3.23 gears it keeps the revs low .

id have to say that's why the pump is still keeping up.

Hell, with that logic, I've owned some of the fastest cars on the planet. I'm an astronaut and I own this bar.

Buy a Vbox, then you'll know without track timing

I'd like to think though that a 6.4s 1/8th would easily see a 9 at the 1/4 unless the car falls on it's face higher up.

I'm running a moroso filter after the pump and a 3/8 line to the rails and 5/16 return . all straight fittings as most 90* fittings iv looked at look restrictive.

No pre filter? Thanks I keep tooling with the idea of e85. Be nice to know how far I can push it with that pump and 80s.
