V-Day Speculations Options

[JMoushon]

Well, I figure I started the same thread for Slo-Pny day, why not.

What have you done and what will it run?

On my end, I believe I called 13.6, but only got to 13.8.

This time around, I think I'll call 12.99. That way I can get to the 13.2-13.4 range I really expect.

Since Slo-Pny day, I have done the following in preparation for V-Day:

Nitto NT555R Drag radials, 225/50-16 (oooh they hook nicely!)

Coilovers to drop the front end

Solid motor mounts

Had a single-person porting party, porting the manifold, o2 housing, and turbine housing. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Installed TMO Stage 3 ECU

The interior will be gutted

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, whereas last time I only got up to 15 psi and pump gas, I will be heading straight for the 112 and 22-24 psi. If the clutch holds up, I believe I should hit my target time easily, But as I stated before, the strip can be cruel.

Actually, Mike, I agree whole heartedly. However, I am maxed out at 18psi on 93 with these injectors. I am simply using the race gas to get more boost AND timing out of the car. Conservative estimates would say that another 5 psi would net me another 35-50 whp, depending on who you ask. I'll be, guessing, around 305-320 whp at that point.

Note: Very few ricers around these parts.

I currently run .028 on NGK 7ES plugs. If I go to 112 and get blowout at 22psi, I'll make sure to bring a couple extra sets and a gapper. Solid advice.

Just to clarify my goal: The quickest I've heard of a 14b, 450, sidemount car around here go is Marcus' 12.5x. The ultimate goal is to come within .3s of that, figuring for holeshot disadvantage. Our cars are set-up very similar with a few exceptions. He had no fuel control, I do, so I can tune where he could just play with boost and octane. In his corner, he ran h2o injection to limit knock. He was 7.8:1 cr, where I am 9:1. By all accounts, I should be able to come close, if the clutch holds. My official pipe-dream goal is 12.8, which is a full second off what I ran a month ago. Does Garner have any slips? What did he run?
