Dusty everyone knows that the 109 is being pushed to its limits. There are many of these guys who have more than 1 race and 1 season on the shortblock all the TSM guys I know run down a long track where its much harder on their equipment. I do see that your engine has a couple years on it so I would think you would understand that you have raced it more than 1 race or 1 season close to the reference ET I posted. I am sure that you do not understand from your post that to run 5.90-6.0-6.12 that is a function of HP traction etc. Thats is about a 50hp depending on the calculator used that assumes perfect traction. You think that 27psi is safe at 24deg timing maybe it is maybe it is not. Every car is different. Bottom line is the HP is about the same to run the same numbers as everyone else. Some are running 30 some 27 some 35 and so on. All make close to the same HP again every car is different. So too assume that you are stressing parts much less, have less cylinder pressure, less back pressure etc. etc. making the same HP as other guys cause you deem your tune to be safer simply because of a boost and timing level is crazy IMO. Your story tell it how you want. As far as the MPH and ETs of all the guys I have no idea about every pass. I can say they showed up at a TSM race, more than once, ran side by side on a pro tree to get their numbers for the record. They did not just jump on the internet and TOOT their own horn about their performance. "Dont tell me what you can do Show me what you can do". Last word is all yours. I am done.
