ESS G3X at the drag strip

[WIST2019GT]

My car is very close to that now, with just boost and fuel for power mods. Hoping to get back to the Strip Sunday.

Time to update that signature!

It's good your going to see how far you can go without LTH and exhaust upgrades.

Went to the track tonight and made some passes with a very basic setup. I figured the car made 800ish at the tire.

G3X, 110mm Pulley, ID1050X, Lethal Fuel System, PBD E85 Tune.

Everything else is stock (axles, 3.15 gears, complete exhaust, trans, etc..) and the car was 4000 pounds with me in it (verified with a CAT scale).

I have seen a 5.36 60-130 but the best it did at the track was a 5.49.

I am only sharing this to put some real data out there for anyone looking. DA was 2000ish for the first pass and tapered down although I didn’t get any faster.

Another member was with me and made some passes as well but he can make his own post.

Good outing last night. Running a similar setup as the OP but the smaller head unit.

G2, 110mm, FIC 1000s, Radium dual pump fuel hat, stock headers / axle back, Steeda H pipe, 10R80, 3.15s, some small suspension components (axles, cradle lockout, vertical links, springs), and 305/45r17 555RII. Im guessing it was around 3850 with me in it. Tuned on e85 by @Wengerd Performance. (left lane)

Strong!

@pittzy23 which fuel pumps are you using? Thinking in buying a Radium fuel hat.

You should have no problem getting into the 9s with street tires. Great to see

I'm confused by the MPH vs 60-130. I'm a Whipple car and on pump gas and 10-11psi I trapped 138mph and my 60-130 was a 6.5. You are 2mph faster and running low 5's?

My best trap for the day was 141.95 and it went 5.49 60-130 on that pass. I actually thought the car would have more MPH than it did. Maybe the factory exhaust is holding it back when it’s turning a lot of RPM. It did kinda feel lazy when it shifted into 6th.

my 60-130s are typically around 6.2 on the street. when i trapped ~139 it was a 6.01 on the dragy.

TI274s I believe (450lph e85 compatible)

He’s on e85, if you were on e85 it would be a bit more power. Probably a bit more than you think.

I trapped 138 on straight pump 94 and 16* max timing. On E85 and 5 more degrees timing I would have been low - mid 140's for sure I would imagine. It also was 82F day and 4100DA. Just a little better air and I could have probably hit 140 just on pump.

It’s an awesome system. I run the stage 2 setup with twin Ti274’s as well. It has supported 960-980whp on 85% Ethanol in that configuration. Probably 1000-1050whp on 70-75%.

Do you think it might went into cat overtemp protection in 6th? Most cars I’ve seen back half 30-32 mph.

Maybe. I also felt that it should have had at least 30 in the back half. I’ll remove that cats and try again later this year.
