60 ft-1.841
1/8-8.360- 85.77mph
1000 ft-10.809
1/4- 12.867- 105.43
This was with 48# fuel, 20# boost, pure methanol in the injection, and 5 gal turbo blue to 10 gal 93 octane. I could only leave with about 2# boost.

Great run dude. I think you could have run even faster if you would have lowered your fuel pressure a few pounds. At 20psi on a stock turbo & 42lbers I dought very seriously that much fuel was required.

It requires a mythological approach, patience and above all, persistence!  And, I didn't think there was a majic bullet with these cars. 
I am sure you will agree that the first time at the track, with a new set-up "can be" a humbling experience.
The posted performance is AWESOME, but how many people can;
Take a new HA set-up, first time to the track, and lay down 12's on street tires, with a stock turbo @ 20 PSI boost with port matched heads?
My hats off to fyrlt67 for that! The bar has been raised. |
Jerryl, always the humble one and great diplomat. I think we all learned a thing or two from this post. Don't assume anything, it's been stated before many times, what works for him does'nt always work for me. Put it on the track and find your own formula. When I first started it took me a couple of years to figure out that my car just did'nt need as much fuel as I was trying to run. Lowered the fuel pressure down to 38psi and bammmm!! majic bullet. Picked up .5ths just like that. That's 50hp just from adjusting the fuel pressure.
