Yesterday was a very exciting and disappointing day for me. It all started out on Thursday when I brought my car up to get tuned at JPC Racing. Reason for tuning was it hadn't been tuned since the following mods; BBK LT w/ off road x-pipe, bbk twin 62mm throttle body, Vortech t-trim upgrade, Vortech water tank. There were a few problems right off the bat. Intercooler wasn't flowing so we had to relocated the water pump into the vehicle were the water tank was. The S/Cer oil feed line broke and was spiting oil everywhere. After solving these problems we finally got to the tuning. Ended up at 628 rwhp and 530 rwtq at 15 lbs of boost. So all and all I gained around 65 rwhp with the mods listed above. The t-trim upgrade gave some gains but was mainly done to prevent S/Cer failure from it being maxed out.

As soon as my car was off the dyno I settled up with JPC Racing and hit the road to Cecil County Raceway. There were a lot of cars there and I was only able to get two passes in before it started raining as I was about to do my burnout for my third pass. The two passes that I did get were eye openers, the stang was crazy powerful. I raced and felt like it was my first time at the track. 1st pass I couldn't get it into 3rd and the 2nd pass I couldn't get it into 4th. 60s weren't to great due to the fact that I spun a lot more launching at the same rpms as I did before. I guess it will just take a few more passes until I can figure out the new setup. But once I get it there is no way I shouldn't be looking at mid 10s.

Its like a whole new car, +65 rwhp and a drop of 200 lbs.

 

Nice!

 

congrats Brian

have you added Prothane mounts or CHE k-member brace w/ tq limiters?

 

What was your 1/8th on the second pass? MPH and ET.

 

I haven't done anything to the k-member other then Poly motor mounts, is that what you are talking about?

2nd pass was a 1.57 60 ft 7.02 1/8th at 99 mph. The shifting was so different so I wasn't even coming close to my ideal shift points. It will just take alittle while to get used to.

 

I like hearing when someone already has 500+whp and says it "feels like a whole new car" lol. wow...you're running an aluminator right?. Congrats man, sounds like a blast.

 

Just watched your video.. rockin the aluminator. That's the motor that will be going into my car when the time comes.

 

Sweet!! Lets see 10's!

"60's weren't to great ...."

1.57 doesn't suck!

 

I'm sure that has got you craving the track now! Looking foward to seeing what you run after you get it all figured out. Any idea when you will tune for race gas and more boost? (you'll have to relearn all over again!)

 

Learning a new car is difficult. Even in your case.

99mph is stroking man....my car ran 7.2's at 97 on motor. You should be damn near 10's or BOTTOM 11's. My car ran ran 104mph on a 75 shot and only ran 10.7's. You should be close.
