I sowwy
Just a note. Ben Calimer is working wonders on the MT-82s. IF I were to have a MT82 car, I would pull the trans and send it to him for bulletproofing.
I REALLY am not downplaying the E85 in my car. I truly am being honest when I say that I do not feel much of a difference at all between 93 and E85.
Lol! That is the Hio clause in the general Tech statutes
Correct... my car or another GT HAS to have a tune to run E85. But if I get a dedicated E85 tune on the car... where the only fuel I can run is E85.... you consider that 2 mods? In my case with the flex fuel tune I can run both or a mix of the 2. Again.. we will just agree to disagree.
One thing I find really annoying about SRK in general is everyone is SOOOO hell bent on diagnosing every single mod on the different cars, down to saying "He has 1 more mod than you! You should have lost!" Really annoying. I am just going to start ignoring that type of stuff and Run what I Brung. They are either faster than me, or not. I do not care what they have or have not done to their car.
No if you read my comment I said if they had a tune they had 1 mod but if they're running a different fuel I'd also consider that a mod...
and that's sort of stupid, that's like saying headers aren't a mod either. I have them and the other guy could run them too, not my problem if they don't. It can literally be said for any mod.
A mod is something that the car did not come with from the factory, tell me which GT I can go buy right now, drive to the gas station and put e85 in? if I go tune my car to run on FTW and leave the rest stock then the car would be tune only right? That's laughable

That dynosheet sure as hell isn't from a Coyote. So what does that have to do with the many other dynosheet we see like the one I posted? I guess I am just going to have to go dyno my car on 93, and E85 the same day. You going to help me pay the dyno fees? Purdy please?

That sheet doesnt look right to me man.. I don't think thats a Coyote?

Wow. ......you even failed to put a 3 infront of your catback you are downplaying yours and up playing his do much.
4 drag pack/ your new wheel tire combo
5 suspension mods
Looks even to me or you're just building in some excuses.
Phil has stock suspension. ...stock wheel tire. Stick gearing unlike your shorter tires for better gearing.
Maybe that shoukd be #6 for you.
You have more mods than phil
7 for you if you have your cai on. Hell phils cai is a production piece so in don't count.
Count stands at 7 mods for poppa 4 on phils car.

I forgot to put the 3. You can see by my words and assume the 3. I didn't say I had 2 mods.
I will most likely run my street tires. That is not a mod... period.. You can cry all day about it. A set of 19" wheels with Invos is not a damned mod.. lol!
Suspension will have ZERO... I repeat ZEEERRROOOO effect on a roll race.. which is what we are talking about. This is why I did not list that.
His Z28 CAI don't count as a mod? LOL! I'll leave it at that.

Things I have learned from Poppa and some of the more special 5.bros (not all):
I have learned.... That e85 does nothing at all... It does not add 12-15rwhp, while also cooling the intake charge and preventing time retard.
I have NEVER claimed the E85 does nothing. I have claimed I DO NOT notice a big difference "Seat of the pants" between the 2. Don't worry... I will be doing some 60-130 timed pulls with my Torque Pro app with 93 and E85.. we will see... I will also be putting the car on the dyno with 93 soon.. so we will see there too.
I have learned that suspension mods do nothing at all, they do not allow the car to gain better traction / acceleration by way of better transfer of the power to the pavement.
My car gained ZERO 60ft at the track with the springs on the car vs stock springs. They have not helped me at all at my current power level. Will they help when the Twin turbos are on the car? Most likely when coupled with a set of Viking Crusader adjustable rear shocks which is what they were designed to work with... sure... at that power level, they will help. I am not getting out of the hole hard enough on the stock stall for the springs to make one bit of difference right now. As for a roll race? Makes no damned difference.
I have learned that a set bigs and littles (drag pack) does nothing for a car. Skinnies up front do not reduce drag or rolling resistance, they also do not drop a substancial amount of weight from the car, more specifically rotational mass that leads to increased acceleration.
The rear wheels that also weight much less and allow for a better tire, also do not do anything at all....
1) I have never said the bigs/little do not help
2) I have also posted the weight difference(guess, not scaled yet) between the front street setup and skinnies
3) The front skinnies do not have as much of a bearing rotational weight wise because it is static and not on the power side of the drivetrain(driveshaft, rear wheels). Their only benefit is weight loss.
4) The rear wheels are not THAT much lighter than my street wheels(They are damned heavy Racestars... not Welds) They weigh 23lbs each. My street wheels weigh 26lbs each without the tires. Hell, my factory ugly assed 18" wheels are lighter than the SVE street wheels I have.
Catback exhaust, does not help exhaust gasses flow better with less reatriction, resulting in a slight bump in power at high rpms.
The EXACT catback I have on my car has been DYNO PROVEN same day same dyno to gain 3rwhp. Thats it... After I had the exhaust put on, it actually felt like I lost some low end torque because of the 3" diameter vs factory
CAI, does not allow the engine to breath better, therefore, helping increase performance. This mod actually hurts you.
The gains from a CAI(with the exception of the new PMAS setups) are not worth the increase in IATs. If I road raced the car where I was constantly moving.. yes.. good thing. But at the dragstrip in the staging lanes it hurts. The ECU starts to pull timing after 120 degrees IAT, and can pull up to 5 degrees of timing at 150 degrees. I am OCD about having the same IATs, Cylinder head temps etc when I run at the track because I want consistency. I want to change ONE thing at a time and keep everything else consistent to make my gains. You would think my car was a bracket car because of how consistent it is. And yes... I do have slips to prove that.

My car will not be a stripper. IF I decide to keep it, I will most likely do a rear seat delete... I have no use for the back seat and the seat delete will be a better spot to put track tires etc. I will also end up having to put a cage in it.
That sheet doesnt look right to me man.. I don't think thats a Coyote?

That dynosheet sure as hell isn't from a Coyote. So what does that have to do with the many other dynosheet we see like the one I posted? I guess I am just going to have to go dyno my car on 93, and E85 the same day. You going to help me pay the dyno fees? Purdy please?

Finicky motors eehh.
