I checked the forecast...rain for Wednesday- ha!
Haven't had Jamie do the e85 tune yet. When I go back I'm going to have him install the Grimmspeed EBC, re-do my pump gas tune, and then do the e85 tune. I MIGHT wait until next season, though we'll see how things play out.
Have you made any passes since your build?

122mph is good for low 11's but I'm surprised you trapped so low to be honest. With your power level I would have expected 123-125mph. It did a 124 on the dynos 1/4 mile simulation and the trap speed is usually pretty accurate. Next time you do a 1/4 mile pass, let's get a log and make sure you aren't getting any shift-knock or anything. What RPM were you shifting at btw? Congrats on your first 11 second pass though. Let's work on a 10 second pass now lol.

I think that was another part of my problem was that I was shifting at 8500. I think I should have been shifting around 8000. It happened so quickly and only got one run, but, I think I may have bounced it off the rev limit once or twice. I also didn't NTLS 1st to 2nd. There's a bunch of things I need to work on.
I can't go to the track Friday, I'm taking the GF out for her birthday, so lets hope it actually doesn't rain Wednesday.
Thanks, Jamie, happy to be part of the 11 second club, but I'd definitely be happier as part of the 10 second club
PS. Can't believe this is my 1000th post on EVOM...damn....

If I remember correctly you put down around 450 on a mustang dyno which is close to or around 500whp on a dynojet which is what I put down last year. I made a 126mph pass at that power level. So yea maybe some shift knock or something. I haven't made it to the track since the build. I just fixed my leaking valve stem seals. 3 of the exhaust valve stem seals popped off because I have dual valve springs and I guess its a known issue. Im on vacation the week of Halloween so I plan to convert to E85 and tune it during that week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can make a pass or two before the season is over. If not this will be the first season I never made it to the track since I owned the car

Here is the break down of the slip:
R/T... 2.053
60'... 1.932
330... 5.146
1/8... 7.747
MPH... 96.34
1000... 9.992
1/4... 11.851
MPH... 121.90
Gained 26 MPH in the back half which isn't too bad. Just need more seat time I guess.

Jamie said to go into the burn-out pit to get the rocks off my tires and to warm them up a bit before I stage. Any other suggestions??
Of course the weather looks like it's going to rain for the 3rd Wednesday in a row....which would put an end to my racing season
Time to put my G-Tech to work

We offer vehicle weighing with our corner balancing scales, which weigh down to the pound. Not only will you receive the total vehicle weight, you also receive the weight per corner. I suggest weighing the vehicle with the items you generally keep inside the vehicle, tire pressures where you keep them on the streets and exactly a half tank of fuel so you have a good average weight depending on our overall fuel level at any given time.
Gaining 26mph in the back half sounds like 4th gear was a pretty clean pass. I'd say all of the time lost was in the first 1/8th mile. I was shifting at 8500rpm on the dyno and by the look of your power graph, that's a good rpm to shift at to make the most use of your powerband.
