Over 3 months and no kit has arrived at the performance shop. Supposedly shipped last week but no tracking number. I was given 4-6 weeks when it was ordered....

With the DW pump and some id1000, if you add a bap, you can run 3.625” on e85, without a return style fuel system. This will make a ton of power.

I just got back from vacation and picked up my car with the whipple installed . Feels like Christmas in August. lol
The wife was probably wondering why I was not so grumpy with all the spending on vacation. lol. I was like the guy in the all state "safe driver bonus" advert. Except my "bonus" check did not go towards buying a putter( I hate golf anyway but probably a cheaper hobby)
I stepped down to a 3.75 pulley(will be sending the stinking 3.875 back unused) OPG/CS sprocket, CF drive shaft and 800 DSS axles also installed. I also swapped the PP gauges for the Eco boost ones.... because I got boost now(who needs vacuum).Also had them install a BAP I had lying around from my early days in my 12 before a full fuel system so I like what I am hearing about just needing ID 1000's to run E85

Of course it felt like a rocket after driving the 12 seater all the way back from Atlanta(had a bunch of in-laws, nephews and nieces on the trip as well).I am pretty happy the DSS CF shaft is also smooth (had to send it back the due to bad vibration)

I see what some have said before about the part throttle but It feels fast at WOT but not the crazy surge I get in the 15 Hellion car. Almost feels NA as its quite linear. My KB car of course also "feels" faster but that's probably in part because it shakes so much/NVH (thanks to the engine mounts),no back seat, loud/raspy cat less long tubes,direct mount Magnum..….. and mid 900 rwhp.....still struggling to go 9's.

Don't want another "race car" though and this one feels like a keeper. Nice and quiet(if I can resist long tubes/cat deletes this time like I promised myself) daily driver that can bust 9's straight from the office(I will be happy with low 10's to start off).

Looks like rain at the next local test and tune in Indy on Wednesday but I will be working next weekend close to US41 so I may take a detour(opposite direction home) on my way back. I plan to run 100 octane either way ( might as well since 93 is $4 a gallon... what's another $5. lol)

Hope Rainmaker does not read this .I would like to surprise him. Last time I was there NA and running 12.1(to his 9.5 all out Paxton race car) he was making fun on my "red 5.0" grill badge(I like badges) adding 100 horsepower's .I don't dare drive the 15's there given the high likelihood of breaking and having to pay $500 tow home like I have done before(the red badge on the Hellion and KB car adds like 600 HP lol).



As you can see I don't care that much for clean engine bays.

Question is will any of the “big 3” tuners tune it with just a BAP?
Better still, will Whipple?

I got some 6th gear WOT logs . Fuel looks good with Lambdae at 0.75 and 1.0 or less short term fuel trims .My installer did not install the booster after all as the pump instructions said not use one???
I thought Whipple says a JMS booster with the pump will support 800 hp (3.625/1 more psi) with E85 but with ID 1000

I figure the it should have enough pump without a booster at that boost with MS109 -if I go there .

not sure I want to mess with E85 but if I do I don’t think I want to depend on a booster anyways .


On both pulls (6500 and 7000) I saw 3 degrees of knock-and max timing of 15* so I am sure it will make more as it is with 100 octane I can get at the pump .
I will see if gets to max timing before trying Ms109
since Whipple siad their tune will add max 2* to a max of 18* and will pull up to 4* if needed which maybe what I am seeing .

The temps look good at WOT but it gets real hot (CHT and IAT) in stop and go traffic . I ordered the HD heat exchange but got sent the fans instead .I did not want another wait so installed what I got but hope that was not a mistake .
I already ordered the Crevini lower grill which I think will help some .

The heat exchanger fans should be better in stop and go traffic, and the staging lanes. They aren't much good above 15 MPH.

Here's a sample guide.

PULLEY/BOOST/132MM TB
SC Pulley/Boost/stock balancer
4.000" 9.5
3.875" 10.5
3.750" 11.5
3.625" 12.5
3.500" 13.5
3.375" 14.5
3.250" 15.5
3.125" 16.5
3.000" 17.5
2.875" 18.5
2.750" 19.5​

20% OD is worth just over 5psi.
Long tubes with cats drops boost .5-1.0psi.
Long tubes with no cats drops boost 1.0-1.5psi.

Many other factors can vary boost +/- 1psi.

This is exactly what I have! I have the 20% lower and 3.75 upper and 15.5psi with long tubes. 900+ HP!!! KIT IS KILLER

Unleaded fuel is best for O2 and cat life. I ran Octanium before, it works but its hard on O2 sensors. I tried Boostane and I honestly run it in every car I own. It's incredible. So far, spark plugs, o2 sensors, all good. Many of my employees run it when they go to the track, it really helps us pump gas guys. 93 is so much better than 91 octane, we find it to be a net difference of 4deg of timing in general. If you run 1/2 a can of Professional boostane per full tank, a 91 octane customer will hold 2-4 deg's more timing at WOT nearly every run. We don't have nearly as much experience with it on 93, but on 91, its big for the simplicity of it.

Which BOOSTane ?
Premium that raises octane up to 100 .website says for lower compression
https://boostane.com/product/boostane-premium-octane-booster-1-quart/
Or
Professional?
https://boostane.com/octane-boosters/boostane-professional-octane-boosters/
Website says for higher compression engines and raises octane up to 116.
I like the sound of the later so going to order a case .

The professional boostane as he mentioned above. 1/2 can per full tank. I use it. Works well, my car gives max timing.

I went to the local AutoZone to see if they had any on the shelved before I ordered. They did not but just for shits and giggles I bought a bottle of "Turbo 108" and added it to a full tank. I logged a couple more 6th gear pulls to 7000 rpm and was surprised to see tune was adding 4 adding up to 4**(negative as opposed to positive knock with untreated 93)
It held max timing at 17.50(vs 15.50 untreated 93) up to close to 7000 when I let off.
Obviously not going to use any more since I am not sure what it might do to my o2 sensors but the stuff sure works. lol

93 logs

 

[PTM5.0]

Well my kit showed up on 8/16 and dropped off the car on 8/17.

Gen5 Stage 2 with upgraded bigger heat exchanger and Stainless Works catless longtubes with factory connects going on this week. Found out the Whipple cal won't work with no cats so it'll get a Lund remote dyno tune. If it does 750rwhp on pump 93, I'll be happy.

 

[olaosunt]

So ,I made my first pass in the 18/Whipple.
There was a track event at US41 so only got to make 2 (second was 10.9 but car was hot as hot lapped)
Stage 2 Whipple/3.75 pulley /stock exhaust/Whipple cal. Full tank of 93 with a can of boostane.1/2 tank by the time I got there . It was humid and temps were in the mid 80's
DA calculator said 2500 but it felt real muggy(96% humidity). foot braked to only 2500 as was not sure it would hold higher.
The MPH is not bad but need to work on the 60 ft as it should run low 10's if that's decent.
Tune was adding 2* of spark at full load up to 18.5*
fuel looked good so wondering if I can run a 3.625 pulley.
