You guys just made my head hurt!

You could even add another nitrous outlet to spray the innercooler.

I have seen some crazy hidden systems around here also. Dummy speaker boxes and under the rear seats in mustangs, bottles behind body panels in Camaros. The only way you find out about them is by running them.

I know why people hide their ****, but I don't really like it.
I would rather loose an honest race than win a lying race.

I am going to the Plano gtg Friday night, and then to Redline on Saturday. There is some big event at Redline, so feel free to come hang with us(7:00pm).

I think our cars would be a good match in the 1/8 or the 1/4. I have a set of slicks I am going to try out on Sat. to see if I can cut some good 60ft times.

I am resurrecting this thread to give an update:

I got the car tuned for the higher boost level over the weekend.

The car went in to the shop (GEARHEADS) on the same tune that was in the car when we raced and dynoed 548hp and 524tq.

I swapped the pulley and filled it with VP MOTORSPORT 109 fuel as described in my previous post and it left the shop today with 630hp and 640tq.

I am a happy boy.

The first one to 165mph wins!

Womack,

Nice ride and great power. What mods and how is the car tuned (A/F,
timing, etc)?

Womack,

Nice ride and great power. What mods and how is the car tuned (A/F,
timing, etc)?
MOD LIST:

-Built motor with .020 JE pistons
Block was prepped and built with, ARP main and head studs, ARP 2000 Rod bolts, Federal Mogul Race Bearings, Felpro head gaskets, brand new racing oil pump w/ cryo treated gears

- Whipple 140AX
- Full Billetflow pulley system
- Metco 4lb lower pulley setup
- 2.9" RR pulley
- JLT RAI
- MAC longtube headers
- MAC O/R Prochamber
- Magnaflow catback
- Built Solid with 31 spline Mosier axles, MAC cover and 3.73’s
- Lakewood Traction Action lowers
- Lakewood 50/50 shocks
- Brembo Cross Dilled and Slotted Rotors w/ brand new HAWK HPS Pads
- LFP IC Reservoir and HE
- HPP head cooling mod
- Ram 900 clutch
- Fidanza Aluminum flywheel
- D&D 26 spline input shaft
- MGW Shifter
- Billet inside accessories
- Autometer Lunar Boost gauges
- Innovate Wideband
- Hurst Line Lock
- Plasmaboost ignition module
- BAP
- 60lb injectors
- Aviator fuel pumps
- Diablo Mafia
- SCT 4-bank chip w/ console mounted switch

My car has 4 tunes
1. 16lb pump gas- 16*---550hp/550tq (nice safe street tune)
2. 16lb race gas--- 19*---570hp/580tq (Pissed off street tune)
3. 20lb race gas--- 18*---620hp/620tq (Come get some tune)
4. 20lb race gas--- 20*---630hp/640tq (I seek revenge tune)

A/F was 11.3-11.5 on all tunes for safety.

It is hot as hell in Texas. All pulls were made in excess of 105* shop temps, so I was very pleased with the power it was making.
My tuner told me that in 60* weather, it would make at least 30 more peak hp and tq numbers, and the boost would be slightly higher due to the denser air charge.

I have plans to add an 8lb lower and a dry 50 shot when the temprature goes down.

I will see if I can get out there.
I will get kicked off after 1 good run, but it would be fun.

But then again, Dyno numbers don't always hold up on the street/track. Does it hook up well w/ the higher boost and race gas? How's the car feel now?

Your car is sweet

BTW, Did you run at Redline last weekend? If so how'd you do? I assume it was on your prior tune/boost.
The car was being tuned this weekend, so no Redline.

The good thing about racing other fast cars is that it makes you up your game. I have been needing to run the blower efficiently since I bought it in November. You guys gave me the positive push to finally get the work done.

The car feels amazing; like the hand of GOD is pushing me when I powershift.

1st and 2nd gear are useless on the Hoosiers, and the car scratches the tires through 3rd, and dead hooks in 4th. I will be changing to the 18" MT's when they come out to regain 2nd gear. At the track on the 15x10x26 slicks, I'm sure it will hook.

It doesn't look like I will be going to Ennis(work late), but will be at the Plano GTG if you guys want to come by.
