Talking New Best ==> Joined the club

Everyone,

The SSOTN event was pretty good yesterday.....

I also got a new best: 11.89 @ 113.35...

For those that are curious, the only change from the rest of the year was a new tune for 100 octane. Previously, best was 12.08 on a 93 octane program. All runs were with stock engine & blower, and just a 4# lower and the 1# upper.....

Time was backed with a 11.91 too......

I have many videos to convert, including Sals awesome run, and I will post later today.

WOW....

4 lb. Lower and a 1lb. upper and you gained about 3mph over your previous best on 100 octane. IMPRESSIVE.

Can't wait to see that video.


Later...
Bruce

Everyone,

Thanks for the kind words!!!

Its a good...Wait who am I kidding...Its a GREAT feeling when the officials kindly tell you to "Slow it down or your done for the day".

Of course, after the 2nd run, try to hold back the S%^T eating grin on your face as you come to that same track official.... LOL

Anyway, for those that are curious, I have just about every bolt on from converter to 3.73's to long tubes. But I do only have a JDM 4# lower and that 1# interchangable. The most boost I see at any time in my L is 14.5 on the autometer gauge.

Also, I still run with the factory front wheels and tires at street psi.

I contribute some of the gain to the 100 octane, but also some of it to "The Cecil Mod".

Anyway, heres the video: http://www.nvlope.org/_video/briank1189.mpg

Thanks to all who helped and encouraged!!!

(Note: Does this mean 10's are next year???)

you guys are making me want to go to the track so bad, if I wanted to run mid -low 12s what more would I need? Asuming I can get decent starts and all.

Talking Great MPH improvement

Anyway, for those that are curious, I have just about every bolt on from converter to 3.73's to long tubes. But I do only have a JDM 4# lower and that 1# interchangable. The most boost I see at any time in my L is 14.5 on the autometer gauge.

Brian K,

Incredible improvement in MPH. The best I have ever seen you run MPH wise was 109.8 or so at Englishtown. I am curious on how you gained 3 MPH on a "race" program. I still run a safe 11.7 - 11.8 A/F program with conservative timing. I have been adding a few gallons of 104 GT unleaded this fall to ward off detonation in the cool air. However, my current program is not tuned for 100 octane. I am new to this scene but can't imagine by leaning out the A/F, adding timing, and such you could gain those numbers with the same amount of boost. I guess I need to have JJ burn a new chip for 100 octane. I am trying to get an 11 with stock wheels, stock converter and NITTOS. I'm also running a 4lb lower with 1.5lb upper. If I can improve my MPH like yours I will easily be in the 11s. That would put my MPH in the 115 range. I'm psyched for a race chip.

BTJ
