New Best in the KB 2012!

[Doug1227]

Went out to Ennis today for the Camaro/Mustang grudge match. My previous bests in the 1/4 had been an 11.2@125. This week I converted the car to E85. I wasn't sure how much power it picked up because it was dyno'd on a different dyno than before. Using the same pulley, this morning I made my first pass.

1.62 60'
7.118@ 101.22 1/8th
[email protected] 1/4

I was pretty happy with that! Temps were in low 70's. It picked up a true 5mph and .3.

So then the cold front rolls in and temps drop into the high 50's. My next pass was another new best.

1.553 60'
6.804 @ 104.09 1/8th
[email protected] 1/4

DAYUUUMMMM!!!!!

I made one more pass just to back it up and ran:

1.585 60'
[email protected] 1/8th
10.678@ 131.95 1/4

Overall, I'm VERY pleased and can't believe how much faster it ran on the same pulley.

Awesome

Quick calculator work shows you to be making right at 750 Doug. E85 does work! LOL!

[DirtyD]

Congrats on the times, Doug! That's awesome!

[Doug1227]

Flywheel? That'd be about right. Around 630-640 at the wheels would be my guess.

After cleaning up the mess from the other shop, we ended up at 602, but at least I can drive it now. And she was only making 570 when I ran the 10.85, so maybe she'll be a bit faster on the 25th. We have the best track in the country rented, and usually have ridiculous D/A (last time it was -2100), so I'm hoping for a good run or two before I retire her completely.

[downtime!]

Just for fun, I plugged your numbers into the Dragtimes D/A calculator. You know it's good weather in Texas when the correction factor actually slows you down!

Correct your ET and MPH using the DA (Beta Testing)

Density Altitude: 553 feet above sea level

1/4 mile ET:10.512 seconds

1/4 mile trap speed: 134.47 MPH

Stock and Mildly Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
10.468 @ 134.987 MPH

Extensively Modified Naturally Aspirated Engines
10.53 @ 134.427 MPH

Extensively Modified Supercharged and Turbocharged Engines
10.518 @ 134.405 MPH

[Doug1227]

I was curious what the DA was....just checked it myself as well. I had no idea it was that low. No wonder The times were so good! I'll probably never duplicate it! Lol!

[Dominic Toretto]

For some reason I can't find the thread or youtube video but, wasn't there a white NA car that was in the tens with barely any mods accept DRs? Downtime, you remember who that was right?

-Alex

[BERT]

Doug, what wheels are on your car?

[Doug1227]

Racestars 17/15 for the track
Euro trek UO02's 19x8.5/9.5 for the street

No, there isn't a white NA car that goes tens with "barely and mods." lol

There is a white NA car with some very effective mods that goes 10s though... and a gray one, too.

names are kdanner and wbt, they both post here

That's right! But they aren't using any power adders. I don't recall what mods they are using though besides the CJIM and DRs.

-AlexCJIM, DR's, Air Raid CAI (IIRC) and a seriously well done, well sorted out tune. I'm also guessing that said tune might be just a tad lean for daily driving.

Not to thread jack but, I consider that barely modded. Just an intake manifold, CAI and tune.

It's a full bolt-on car with bigs and littles. But with a CJ intake instead of a Boss, and a modified 2005-2010 4.6 Airraid intake.

Spot on 46Tbird.

White one is Boss-powered auto owned by kdanner
Gray one is Coyote-powered auto owned by wbt

What you said plus some weight reduction (but with some weight added back in for rollcage and other safety items), e85, longtubes, aluminum d/s, Detroit Locker rearend and Strange axles...on both

Doubt their cars are too lean or dangerous (otherwise they wouldn't last long)...and they do drive both cars on the street

Quite a bit more than just what was stated but you are correct on no power adder, stock heads/cams...white car does have Boss heads and Boss cams since it is a Boss motor. Gray car is a Coyote so stock heads/cams/internals. It's all in the combo of parts and ESPECIALLY the tune

white car now has a 5" CJ CAI with 123mm MAF
gray car now has a pre-production FRPP CJ street CAI
I now have wbt's 2010 4.6 Airaid intake on my car while I wait for the production version of the FRPP CJ street CAI

Cool.

So when do you get to head back out to resume your testing?

[wbt]

Here is a pic of the intake FRPP will be shipping soon:

kdanner's car has been 10.6's, mine has been 10.8's. Both in non-optimal air conditions.

BTW - the tune is very safe. I use the same tune on the street that I use at the track.

BTW - the tune is very safe. I use the same tune on the street that I use at the track.It was just a guess. I know "lean" makes power, and I have erred on the wrong side of caution in the past, just to get a few more ponies out of them.

These new 5.0's just seem to rewrite most of the rules we learned along the way as far as how to tune goes. What worked good on a 2V or a 3V does not translate out well to a new 4V.

Ya'll seem to have a pretty good handle on it though! If I ever do ditch the blower, maybe I can con ya'll into a tune.

We do OK. I think there may be a little left in the tune still. Something we will work on over the next couple of months.

I do believe the white car will be in the 10.5-10.4 range very soon. Just need a good track and some good air to get there. Still running a stock Roadrunner setup with a CJ intake. Probably next year sometime a 2013 CJ engine combo (cams, pistons, over bore) will be put together for it and I expect low 10's.

Working on a few things with my car and hope to have it in the 10.6's in the not so distant future.

[Yagermeister]

Cool.

Hopefully this week :)

With respect to the OP we can take this topic to another thread. Doug, great times :)

Respect? What's THAT? LOL!

<--like Rodney Dangerfield....lmao

Sorry for the hijack. Congrats on the awesome times Doug, you got that thing rolling pretty good. :mexsmoke:

[musclestang89]

congrats on your new Doug, you have got it running pretty damn good.

Now those passes are faster than the vert now right?

[Doug1227]

Yep, that was my goal for this car. Newer, nicer, A/C, inspection, and FASTER than the 'vert. (10.8@127). Mission accomplished! Now, how about some NINES! LOL!

Just noticed this typo. Tires at the track are those below but 15"s not 17's.

What are you expecting to need in order to get into the 9s?

-Alex

[Doug1227]

About 750rwhp. I've got the pulley to do it now, and am going to put a fuel system in it soon. HOWEVER, I probably won't go for it until I build the bottom end though. I don't want to wreck this motor before I do the built one. I'm counting on recouping some money by selling it.
