13.5 @ 110mph explained. Options

what if I was already pig rich and added some 110. and didn't have a full tune?

I stopped hitting the 'race pump' last year and can pretty much count on running consistently now. This weekend's runs:

11.244@121.38
11.254@121.01
11.334@120.66 (stalled after I staged and still pulled a 0.011 light)
11.372@120.9
11.582@119.08 Driver error, up shifted to OD _way_ to early.

11.526@101.77 (bracket racing, I was on the brakes trying not to break out... still lost)
11.887@96.83 (coasted to the win)
13.44@82.88 (coasted to the win)

I often wonder if a lot of our super high strung turbo cars would be completely different animals if their owners/tuners ran them at 95% instead of 101% on race day?

Hammar

Indeed Hammar.

I made about 20 passes two weekends ago at Bowling Green, KY with the brick, and every one of them was between 11.80 and 12.05 @ 114-116mph. Had the boost just a little above normal street levels and an actual tune(11.8-12.0:1) instead of pig rich(10.5:1). Probably would have been 11.60-11.80 if my trans wasn't slipping in second. 60fts in the 1.62-1.68 range.

All on pretty purple colored 110 race gas.

Turbo cars can be consistent too.
