9.96 @ 139

[CameronVic]

Well I got it into the 9s guys! Drove it 75 miles there, made three passes (10.06 @ 139, 10.34@136, and 9.96 @ 139), didn't blow up, then drove 75 miles home!

Thanks guys. It took me 3 motors to do it, and about a year of learning. It's had an air to air intercooler, non intercooled meth injection, and now an air to water. Thankfully these motors are really cheap and that I have some friends always willing to help with the car. Definitely a feeling of vindication. I knew the car had it in her, I just had to prove it to myself.

Way to stay with it, :beer: Congrats

I think your dog wants out. :D Good job, what's in the Igloo cooler? I thought you were icing the intercooler, but, saw you say air to air intercooler. Cool chit! :beer:

Nice numbers.Get your 60ft down and you can run a low 9.8.

Gotta load up on fuel to drive to the track! 12ish MPG is about what I get. Good thing my "race gas" is only $2.69 a gallon. $2.66 after using my Mapco rewards card! Lol

[wickedmerc]

WOW! That's a lot of car to get moving that quick. Ever dyno that sucker? Congratulations to you and your crew. :cool:

[CameronVic]

Haven't had it on a dyno yet. Based on the ET, trap, an weight (mainly trap and weight), it makes mid 700s peak WHP

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Congrats! Even better that nothing got toasted. What's next?

You're telling me! It needs more injector, pegged the 95s, 120s are oh the way. And I really want a billet PTC converter. That would give me a couple tenths and a couple MPHs, and slip less up top keeping the turbo in its efficiency range. Those converters are $1000 so I'll probably have to wait on. Other than that, just enjoy the car and park it this winter while its a running car. It'll be the first time in 3 years I don't have a blown up car in my garage for the winter.

[CameronVic]

I know ya'll love pics, so here's some. I just washed it today.

Gotta load up with fuel. 12mpg and driving 75miles to the track, knocking out some bottom 10s and high 9 second pass, then 75 miles home.

[Blown3.8]

All you need now to complete the chevy package is a 12 bolt rear or whatever they call it.;):lol:

Do you have a drain valve for the igloo?

[CameronVic]

12 bolts are junk compared to 8.8s. lol. And no drain, I just take the top off and angle it out of the trunk and turn the pump on. I also have a cup in the trunk in case I wanna do it the amish way.

[LANDY]

What he really needs is a 7.5 10 bolt. Lol

[1stMerc]

No dyno Wow. You do all your tuning at the track? What software are you using and where do you start your base tune?

[MMBLUE]

I LOVE the "Flex Fuel" emblem on the trunk. Nice run with FoHEVY

[Blown3.8]

No dyno Wow. You do all your tuning at the track? What software are you using and where do you start your base tune?

Thats the only way to tune on the track with real world loads.;)

[CameronVic]

No dyno Wow. You do all your tuning at the track? What software are you using and where do you start your base tune?

Yea, just track tune. Megasquirt targets AFs for me, so I just set the AFs I want at certain RPMs and loads (boost values) and that covers the fuel.

And a friend of mine who has dyno tuned more junkyard LS stuff than probably anyone in the world, and that has also taught me a ton about tuning gave me a timing table that has always worked for him.

Is there more in it if I throw timing at it? No clue. I have what some would call an incredibly conservative tune in. I think its pretty much spot on. I pulled a degree one 8th mile pass a few weeks ago, then put it back in the next pass and it picked up enough for me to know that the motor wanted it. And then I left it alone. I honestly cannot see it picking up anymore with anymore timing.

The car already makes like 50-75more WHP than I expected, so I'm sure I'm right in the middle of the sweet spot. Tons of LS guys (mostly guys that have never tuned a car in their life) have told me I need to put more timing in it. In the past when I listened to those people, I ended up pulling a motor. My gut tells me this is the tune. and even if it would take more timing safely, I wouldn't put it in because the [censored] thing is already so freaking fast, I'd be worried that it would break something else in the driveline.

[CameronVic]

Thats the only way to tune on the track with real world loads.;)

Precisely. You should see my injector load in 2nd gear compared to 3rd gear. Same rpm, same boost, and 3rd gear wants like 10% more fuel. Megasquirt is so awesome, I tell it to target 11.4, and it does it. It didn't in 3rd gear because I'm completely out of injector, but it did give it all the fuel it could. Hence the 120lb injectors coming in the mail. Then I'm sure it'll be 11.4 the whole pass again!

[Blown3.8]

Is that the sweet spot on E85 11.4? I just started tuning my street bird with the stuff. Was too easy to tune so far. Have 165 miles on it so far.

[1stMerc]

Thats the only way to tune on the track with real world loads.;)

That i know, to get drivablity done. Figured dyno to get the feel of what the motor will do, before subjecting it to track dity.

[LANDY]

I also tune in at the track. Can't beat that

[CameronVic]

It's a gas scale wideband. I tell megasquirt what stoich is for the corn

[CameronVic]

Megasquirt compensates so fast for the AFs, it's like that rotisserie oven, "just set it" and?!? (Crowd screams) "forget it!"

[lancejlove]

How'd you get it so light


It only weighs 3885, and I don't have any sort of cage... :( LOL. Oh, and because my parents are coming in town!

[Blown3.8]

Yeah I know thats gas scale. So is .78 lambda the sweet spot?;)

[CameronVic]

How'd you get it so light
No bumper supports, heat or AC, no e brake, cut the lower core support out and fabbed a tubular one up to make room for the A2W, no front sway bar. That's pretty much it. Oh, and took out all the evap stuff, and the stock steel fuel tank.

Yeah I know thats gas scale. So is .78 lambda the sweet spot?;)Idk, LOL. I've had it at 10.9 and I put it at low 11s and it seems to like it. I don't know anything about lambda, so I'm not gonna try and sound smart. LOL. I just give the car what it likes, and keep the timing safe, that seems to make the motor live! LOL!

[Blown3.8]

1.00 Lambda is Stoich for all fuels. And .78 Lam is 11.48 for gasoline. And .78 Lam for E85 is 7.68 or so, not sure of the actual stoich of E85. Stoich for gas is 14.7 and E85 9.85 I think. That is why you need so much more injector and pump for E85 and also why fuel mileage is poor on E85. You need to inject more. But also why you make more power on it than even regular race gas, because of the oxygen content in the fuel itself. Short lesson over.:)

I definatly felt a difference from 10.9 to 11.5 on the E85

[CameronVic]

So you're saying you feel more power when it's leaner (11.5 range)?

[Blown3.8]

Yeah I could feel the difference between the 10.9 range and the 11.5 range. In my stock motor with bent #1 rod street car with a big blower. It felt boggy at the 10.9 and much more crisp at 11.5.

[CameronVic]

Ok, just making sure I understood you right. Yea I started fat and then like 4 different people all that know more about tuning than me were like "way fat! Lean it out!". You're the 5th. Lol

[1stMerc]

LOL, most of it was Greek to me to. All that figuring made head hurt. Did understand the table tho.
Good thing Chris is around to explain stuff.

P.s had another site that was even worse.

[Blown3.8]

Altho the gas max power rich/lean looks to be for a non boosted application. I really need to get some EGT data one day. To see what EGT's are at 11.7 on gas, see if they are anywhere close to 1600*. All I know is on nitrous and blower at about 13.5 AFR for 10.5 seconds was not good.:(

[CameronVic]

hahaha! Yea, I'd like an EGT someday too. Them things are like $300 though! And I figure if mine can put up with that tune up for 9.96 seconds, and not melt down, then she's good!
