First time with the car at the track

[WhiteyDog]

Got long tubes and cat back going on next week and a dyno tune hopefully get into the tens

Somewhat in the same situation as you are, my friend. Already had long tubes and a cat back on it with a GT350 IM. My Roush/Ford Racing SC just got done being installed and is getting dyno tuned. Should have it back early next week.

That is with the the stock roush tune. First time to the track it 11.32, 11.27, 11.37, 11.34. The Da was btwn 2310-2600 mph was 125-126 on all runs. Youre in the ball park. These cars love cooler weather. We have a sunny 41 degree morning here in metro Detroit. Just put the insurance on the car and went to get coffee. The car feels like it has a 150 shot of nitrous on it. Density altitude and ambient temperature are worth up .3-.5 of a second and 3-4 mph. I have a 9 second Malibu on nitrous. We went the the track in august it ran 10.97 at 123 on motor Da was 3300+ went to the same track when the Da was 1060 car went 10.55 at 128.2. Did nothing to the car whatsoever. Weather conditions have a big impact on these cars. Last example friend has a hellcat first time out hot humid day car went 11.80. Bone stock with drag radials on a crisp November day 10.82. He picked up 7 mph. The day I ran 10.88 he ran 10.89

didn't you get your car tuned by Ken? If so what has it ran?
Phase 1 auto here with SP longtubes, Corsa catback, Race stars and Lund 93 tune. Best pass was a 10.42@135

No I have been looking at tunes through lund, through Kenthrough vmp etc. Tomorrow I'm taking the car in for an E 85 conversion super excited

Did baseline dyno Pulls before the e85 conversion. Drove 27 mins to the shop and immediately put it on the dyno da indicated 408. Car put down 539 hp 431 tq. Let it cool with the hood open and shop fans on it for 20 mins. 2nd base line 579 hp 473 tq. Again verifies these cars like cool air. I drive up to water box and staging lanes with the hood open. IAT at 67 degrees as compared to 107 was worth 4/10ths and 3.5 mph. Commensurate with the dyno results. This car may go 9s with e85 and smaller pulley
