Question for guys who actually have the the Roush Kit

[Matthewstorm]

When it happens-you will know for sure. It definitely gets your attention.

But how can I make it happen?

Drive really fast toward something when you get close enough it will happen.

Yeaaaahhh... Not sure I wanna try that little experiment.

Mine always goes off when I’m in the right lane, and somebody turns right about 100 feet in front of me.

Made it to strip again last night.

My first run after a 2 hour cooldown was a 11.0@129 with a 1.84 60'. If I could have tied my record of 1.7 for the 60' I would have had a 10.8 or so. Temps were in the 90's during my first run. I had my fastest 1/8th mile trap speed ever @ 106. Previous best was around 103.

Drag Mode, TC off.

Second run was 30 minutes later and I wasn't ready to be sent up to the line at all cause they suddenly changed to our lane.. Didn't realize car was in Track mode and I couldn't engage line lock.. The guy was getting irritated and waving me on to do my burnout so I just held the brakes and didn't floor it enough to light them up.. He waved me on again so I lined up and was rushed so I ran an 11.6@125 with it in Track mode. I don't like how it runs on the strip in this mode..

Sport Mode, TC off <-not recommended

Third run I launched like crap and for some reason the damn car redlined on its own going into 3rd... That cost me. Not sure why it happened. Logged this run and the car was heat soaked right before the 1/8th mile. IAT's were at 135ish with the engine idling while waiting. The throttle blade was closing at this point and boost was in the 0-3lb range at the 1/4mile.

Honestly, I am very surprised how well the car ran tonight. Last year in cooler temps than this I was struggling to hit 120mph sometimes because my blue car was heatsoaked so bad. I don't know what (if they even could) Roush has done between then and now with the tune but my new car is MUCH stronger than the blue one ever was. When the old one got heat soaked I was lucky to get 20mph gains on the back half of the strip.

All in all, pretty happy I had the 11.0@129 in these temps. My 0-60 was 3.45 on that run. 60-130 was 7.78.

DA was 3595.

Very solid results considering the conditions. 420, you probably already know this but if you put the car in neutral and rev it to 2500-3000 rpm, the iat2 will drop pretty substantially. You can bring it down 10 degrees very quickly.

Yeah, I was doing that to get it down as I was moving in the line. They were at 129 with some revving but at 140 after my burnout.

I actually checked the logs. When I left the line I was at 143 and it dropped to 141 when I sped up. I hit 159.8 at 101mph and the TB was still open. At 107mph boost was at 11psi and the TB was at 90% open. At 118mph boost was at 5.8psi and the TB was at 62% open. My next log was at 124 but I may have been letting off the gas because boost was in the negatives.

2 back to back runs didn't help the final one for sure but neither did redlining third gear..

IAT2's peaked at 163.4.

I logged the entire trip home and the furthest they went down was 131 in the 20mile drive..

@hlfbkd420 did you log the spark timing? What fuel?

 

[brucelinc]

That DA was not your friend. The 106 in the 1/8 impresses me.

 

[hlfbkd420]

@hlfbkd420 did you log the spark timing? What fuel?

Is that the Spark Advance? My device creates one log a second. It's polling rate is slow.

Speed: Ignition timing advance for #1 cylinder: Boost: Knocking Retard: Engine RPM: Absolute Throttle Position: IAT2: Spark Advance

Fuel: 7 gallons of shitty AZ 91 with 1/3 bottle of Boostane.

I revved my car today in park and got an alert on dash that said CAR IS RUNNING.

There us a limit to how high it will rev in park. I didn't know it would display a message but it will not let you rev it really high.

Haha, I was revving to 3500rpm. Alert came on immediately.

 

[brucelinc]

I think I got that message once when I had the car running and the driver's door open.
