Default finally got my 9

after fighting traction and slowly working on my launch I got my 9 second pass.

it was cool and the track had to warm up a bit so I ran a few easyier launch 10.00s with 1.6 60' times I hit it a bit harder and it stuck .

foirst 9 was
1.57
6.48@110.21
9.98 @136.26

next I tried a bit harder and as hard as the track will hold on a radial no prep track

1.50
6.40@110.53
9.90@136 mph

boost was around 14 lbs as the air was so good it went up without touching the controller.

and I found the limit of my single aem 380 pump as it whould slowly lean from mid 11 afrs to almost 12 afr at the finish line. and that is faster than I thought it whould go on e85.

time for some good shocks instead of air shocks and some srd bars and slicks . and an extra fuel pump. thanks in advance

Do you have any flow Info from your logs? I'd like to see where it actually dropped off.

thanks

I'm on 275 pro's now but slicks will make a difference I'm sure at my local track.

ran at lapeer dragway.

I did not log these run but next time I will. my afr has ran solid all year then this cold front hit and it changed went from 11.1 to high 11s or 12.0 but was slowly rising at the stripe. I even went in and added fuel but it didn't do much in high gear that's when I noticed my boost was up to around 14 lbs . and I have been about 12.5 to 12.75 psi all year.working on the launch.

weather I'm out of pump or not I'm going to add a second pump before I hurt it. to be honest I never thought a single 380 could go this fast in the first place on e85. so I say good job to aem there pump works good

Sweet! Nice job.
E85 is safe at 12:1, but not ideal. Get that fixed and add some boost!

My buddies run the Pros all the way down to 14psi.
someday I'll try a pair. I run the 28x9 pro bracket radials, they seem to work well.

I was leaving on a couple pounds of boost . if it leaves any harder it will spin a few cars out. when I get beyond the tree.

thanks ron I have been afraid to run less than 16.5 psi in my pro's. if I go back I will try less and see how that holds. I have noticed they don't wrinkle up very much in my video.

i'll try and post that tonight.

Yah, much different characteristics between a slick and a radial carcass. Leaving on ony a couple?! You get on a good track where you can get after it and you've got a 9.60 car easily IMO.
