OK...got a question for everyone. I have a 15 GT PP, Whipple Gen 3 Stage 2 3.625 pully , stick, RXT, Whipple tune, 15k miles on the car.I only use the car for some shows and to have some fun on the weekends but I don't race it. This is what I'm looking to do is a 10.7 car one time and that's it. Can it be done with 1 or 2 . The goal is not lose against a Hellcat LOL. I know some guys will say they run 9 with my set up but looking for real good advise.

1.Bap, tune,1050 injectors,3.5 pully on 93 and MS109

2. Fuel System,1050 injectors, tune E85,3.5 pully

The issue is E85 is not around the corner about 35 min from me one way and I would have to take fuel cans which is a pain. Or just run 93 and put in some MS109 for fun? If E85 was closer I would run it but it doesn't seem worth it?I can pay for the fuel system upfront and run cheap E85 or stick with option 1 and pay $90 for 5 gallons of MS109.

You want it to run 10.7x?
Id have to imagine it’s capable of that now with some traction.

I would say get a tune from lund as I hear that the Whipple tune leaves alot of power on the table. It will be a new monster to you when you drive it after its dialed in. If you have supporting mods like free flowing exhaust then that will help alot too. I believe with some decent tires (at least a drag radial) you should be able to run mid to high 10's (relatively) easy

Whichever option you go with, do a Lund tune. I'd say to do the fuel system so that you can run E85 when you want to. You can still run 93/MS109 if you don't wanna make the drive.

True......it does give me the best of both worlds. More power for sure with E85 but man it's not easy to get with me. Can add it later when I want it. I do have Corsa Cat back but want to take cats off with a Mak but that's really it. E85 will get me more HP for sure but not sure sine it's a pain . No one talks about MS109.

First question is what has it run with current mods. The bag of water in the driver seat will have the biggest impact besides traction.

Having enough fuel is important when making power. Especially E85. Check out our return fuel systems here at www.lethalperformance.com! Give me a shout if you have any questions.

I have a situation pretty much the same with no e85 in my state CT. My car is set up like yours pretty much but Gen 2 stage 2 with same 3.625 pulley size. It has a jms bap and a complete 1 7/8 ARH long tube system (catted). It made 523/709 sae with that setup with the whipple tune. I am running boostane pro now @ About 100 oct mix of 1 can per tank full and going to get a custom tune with it. I figure without E85 around me its not worth buying a full fuel system and injectors. Hopefully it will pick up some. I would like to get rid of the cats also but CT is tough.

Traction first. Then add power if you want/need it.... Especially if you're targeting ET.

^This. What have you run already and at what MPH? As many have said above - the mods you have should easily be in the high 10's. Are you located at fantastically high DA? Do you know what power your setup makes? ET is traction - MPH is power/the cars potential.

Water/meth can give you 110octane and it is adding more fuel so you’re fuel system can handle more total power. Anytime E85 is not an option this should be your go to

for race gas you can probably get away with the bap and injectors. e85 uses 30% more fuel by volume, so you would def want a fuel system. for that

Feel Free to DM me or call with any questions.
