Whipple 93+Octanium track runs

[RockStang]

First track session this season. Now on the PBD tune. MPH is way more than I expected. The first 4 runs were on the 3.635 pulley and then i switched to the 3.5. Just couldn't get the car to 60'. Been high 1.5s on a much hotter day. It feels very counter intuitive to NOT stall the car but the stock converter just doesn't like it. DA was between 100 and 500 all day. The car really liked the pulley switch as you can see from the 1/8 mile. Came to the track with a full tank of gas and a can and a half of Octanium in it. Was not expecting almost 140mph. I felt the car had a 10.4 in but just couldn't get it to 60'. I'l see what Ken says. Could probably make some adjustments but I'm going to order a converter ASAP and see if I can pull a 9 sec run off. 17 x 9 race stars with 305/45 MT ET Street Rs at 17ish PSI.

Thanks.

I'll say this for the Whipple tune. The drivability is perfection compared to a custom tune. I'll eventually get all the kinks worked out with Ken though. I was focused on getting the WOT done first.

Geez, that thing is making some steam!

That's pretty odd. The four runs are almost identical except the two with the higher mph. Like 6-7 mph is huge especially when the 60's and 1/8's were so close as well as et.

Hey have you talked to Ken about trying some MS109 fuel I bet the car would run even harder
Its oxygenated I bet it would help your 60 ft too.Excellent runs on pump gas and
Octanium. We out here in Ca only have crappy 91 our blower cars on 91 craptane and octanium show positive knock strangely with TORCO and 91 the cars add timing. Would love hear when throw some real gas in her I bet it's gonna get over 140 trap! Good luck!

All the low mph runs are when I stall the car really hard. It does something that really screws up the run. Could be that I happened to stage further back. Haven't looked at all my logs either to see if something was going on.

Very nice! I bet the track timer is responsible for the inconsistencies. Runs 5 & 6 are virtually identical. No logical reason for a 7.5 MPH difference. Did you happen to notice anyone else's times?

 

[Crackerjack17]

Damn that thing is moving! nice meeting you guys too.

Haven't felt like spending so much money on enough race gas to spend a night at the track.
