I forgot you'll need those anti nose lift bars in the back...to get a proper launch with slick tires. what are those...nerf bars? Unfortunately the tires are for 18s rims. I forgot you are running 17s...

Race Car
Thread Starter
Went to the track again today as posted in the top ten thread. Rather than muddy that thread up I thought I'd post some pics and info here to keep it all together.
Accomplished my goal of running 11's at relatively low boost
Drove to and from the track (360 miles RT)on a tank of E85 along with racing it all day on 5 gallons of fuel. Gotta love my lean burn
At close to 125 mph it is just shy of 500 true rwhp at 19 psi at 6500 DA
Have not even had to change the spark plugs. Havn't had to do anything really other than swap the chip.
About 12k miles now and alomost 70 passes.
Next up on the agenda
FRF headers, crossover and exhaust....run it to see changes.
Swap turbine wheel and housing, run it again to see if the top end improves
install slicks
cut weight
turn up boost to 25 psi
bigger TB and potentially FRF intake
Do a better 8v head with large valves. Decide if I want the 16v (probably will anyway)
here are a couple pics from today
This is the car packed up and ready for action (highway action anyway)
unloaded
Timeslips
my tracks due to massive tirespin
I'll post some more as soon as they come in

It was a Ford Failane with a big motor. Most of the cars out there were divisoin 5 race cars. All pretty fast. I was pretty much the slowest car ET wise.

Sid, what size injectors are you running?
Last time at the track, I was adding fuel, but not getting any richer. I also tried upping boost, but no more speed. I am thinking I am about maxed out power wise with E85 and 80ish lb injectors.
Do you run any supplemental injectors?
