I have gone leaps and bounds on this alky kit from mid 12's to low 11's in a very short period of time. All I can say is WOW!

M&H racemasters are the BOMB!!!I just had to figure them out. Low pressure is key

Soon as 50 degree weather comes I am off to the track again.

Oh ya, first pass was 11.474 and a 1.552 60'

I've linked your thread to the TTA FAQ List

You're climbing the ladder

[turbov6joe]

Bo,
I see that your able to run 21º of timing in 3rd....no crazy KR at ~90-100mph? For whatever reason(s) my TTA does not like much timing in 3rd. Right now I have it at 19º and that was a jump from 18º. I'd like to see it at 21º but fear loosing something along the way. What was your trap speed on that 11.341 pass? Are you locking the converter from the line? What RPM are you shifting at?

[TT/Ameasap]

The right lane wasn't showing MPH and I only got two runs in. I also forgot to mention the 10-15mph head wind! so I am guessing 118-119 mph only because my 11.64 run was 115mph not locking converter. Yes I locked the converter on both these runs from the line. I shift into D and leave it there the whole run.

I know I am maxed on timing right now, but no crazy KR.....Just a degree or so trickling down to nothing. I really wish I could have seen the mph to see 1/8-1/4mph, but I will be out again shortly.
Next outing I will have a video (outside/inside).

My car responds very well to alky. I was faster on the alky than race gas believe it or not....I do a lot of testing with different parts/tunes, the combo I have now is very strong and leathal in cooler weather.

No need to convince me about the alky/race fuel power thing. My TTA runs MUCH better on alky as does everyone around here that I race with. Hell, Ed Brewer the starter of this thread has clobered his old best on race gas when using the alky....must be doing something right! Two weeks ago I ran 122 mph on alky and picked up 29.3 mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4...now that tells you something ablout the power of methanol.

29.3 mph is incredible. I would kill for that increase. My best to date is like 23mph And that was the only one. All the rest have been 20-22mph.

What's your best 60' Joe?

[turbov6joe]

Man, this is a text book example of hijacking a thread; however, Ed is cool and I'm sure doesn't mind. Anyhow, if I don't see at least a 25 mph gain on the split, I'm looking for causes. I keep very accurate records of all my passes and 24 mph is about the lowest I've seen since it was 100% stock. My best 60' is a 1.61 launching off a T brake at 10-13 psi on OLD MT Street's. I'm trying not to go too crazy on the launches as I'm not in a financial postion to replace the rear. Too bad GM didn't use a more stout rear like the TR's!

[TT/Ameasap]

I hear you on the rear end thing... BTW, this is my post. Nothing off topic here man.

I keep all my records in a book with the slips.. Organization is key in knowing what the car reacts to.

I have been drag racing since 99 and my dad raced for a long time. It comes with the territory tho I am more anel than most.


I look forward to seeing you guys in BG next year.

[turbov6joe]

My bad, I thought this was Ed Brewers post on 11.30 with a stock turbo in the alky section.....I'm tired!

[TT/Ameasap]

No problem. As soon as I run a 10 sec timeslip... I am going back to stock turbo and chasing him down.

You can search through these lists and alway see things that dont make sense. Guys that put a few hardcore pieces then none of the other stuff to make it work, guys that have all the stuff then dont run the boost or timing to make it run right, guys that make enough horse power to run crazy mph but pay no attention to getting the car out of the hole ect ect ect.......

If you backed up this run on this combo and you're not pulling our legs then you get an A+ with extra credit. That has to be the most impressive pump gas / mild combo run I've ever seen posted.

Jason, he did run an 11.4x before that run.

Hey man sometimes the moon align's rite up..temps are rite.. tires stick like they need to..etc.. things happen.

[TT/Ameasap]

Thanks Jason, I knew the car had it in it, just came quicker than I expected....my first pass was an 11.47 (hot)and I turned the boost up 1 psi. let the car cool down and ran the 11.34. The only change from my 11.64 run backed by 11.66 was 1psi boost,dutt neck,locked converter.

My 11.34 run was also in a 10-15 mph head wind and 80degree temps.

Tomorrow I will be at the Bradenton track to test n tune w/ a stretch IC and more boost/timing. I hope the tranny and rear end holds together.

I drove to the track, busted some 1.5 60' times and 11.30-11.40's then drove home.


Im very happy.

[TT/Ameasap]

Also, Juio Don and Eric Marshall have "RAISED THE BAR" for mild to wild combo's IMHO ......You'll see more cars like mine making butt loads of HP with less n less.

2 weeks ago I ran 122mph off the trailer with my TTA, nothing fancy about the combo:
