[XJHEAD]

There are 2-3 other low 9 second cars in that bunch.. One says he'll be in the 8's. We all know how the internet bullshit talk works though...

I did a little investigating tonight.

That is the one that I am a little nervous about. He just got it together in the last couple months. Big Block Blowthru.

The other one is Keith L. runs low 9's on 10 psi.

This is the shootout that I am going to in a couple of weeks, there seems to be a couple of fast cars showing up to this one I believe the black sn95 car made 1300rwhp with e-85 on the dyno last year. I just hope I get into the top 5 with this group.

I went a 9.14 at KID testing on a friday night I believe

I went a 9.16 at tulsa pedaling it twice once at the launch and at the top end there were mostly street cars there, no traction

The other night I ran a 9.23 1.45 60ft @ 9lbs of boost sliding all over the track at KID

Wonder what it'll do at Gateway with the same tune?lol

I never made no more than an average of 11lbs on most of my passes. I plan on turning up the boost at this race I got nothing to loose its the end of the year and its time to step up the boost. On my last pass of the day if my car seems to react to the added boost throughout the day I am going to put 20-25 plus lbs of boost to it, id bet it'll be one hell of a ride.

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone.

Launching at about 8 psi. Datalogs show peaks of 25 psi on the shifts, guage shows right around 20 psi. I still have about 200 rwhp left in it if I can keep traction. If I could actually put all 30 psi to the ground my mph would be right around 165.

A real race car at 4050 lbs @ 165 would run an ET of 8.20

When I plug Dave's number into my formula here is what I get,

3000 lbs @ 168=
1100 hp @ 8.05

When I use mine

4050 lbs @ 157=
1211 hp @ 8.61

E85 Mustang Shootout Gateway International Raceway in Madison, Illinois

Is St. Louis on the way? :icon_scratch:

[integra_gsr98]

Madison, IL is just across the border from St. Louis. "East St. Louis" is actually in Illinois.

[XJHEAD]

Got down here about an hour ago. 12 1/2 hours with three fuel stops. 865 miles and that was doing the speed limit, on the on/off ramps

[z31]

"doing the speed limit" :icon_study:

The posted speed limit, or your speed limit? :icon_scratch:

well good luck and hope you come out on top. hopefully that black fox will throw to much boost to her and melt her down or light em up with only 3000 lbs and 1100hp

[HandoEX]

Rip shit and good luck!
