E85 Dyno / Track Results
Video at the bottom has all the info as well if you don't want to read!
Got the car tuned on Thursday on the E85 and had some great results. Same timing, same 11.9-12.0 A/F ratio and it picked up over the VP109 gas. Here is the graph
So she picked up about 15-20hp and 10-15tq through the whole curve. All we did was drain the tank and add the E85 and retune.
So fast forward to today. Was a bit chilly for racing but similar weather to what we get in October so this is a great comparison. I usually go easy the first pass or 2 to make sure the car feels stable and nothing is weird before going all out. Thank god i did bc the first pass I had an air bubble in the cooling system and about the 1/8 mile I saw the temp gauge go to 215+.
Let it cool for an hour and topped off the coolant. Said F*%$ IT, im going for it. Car felt fine
So shocks full loose, 2 step mid range and ready to rock. Car left great but didn't "feel" much stronger then the norm but man once I hit the 60' it came on HARD. For Comparison....
Previous best at home track (similar weather)
October 2010 after heavily messing with the launch (rpm, suspension etc)
1.341 (almost a 1.33!!!)
6.295 @ 108.19
9.940 @ 133.79
Previous best a couple weeks (Nov 2010) later down in Maryland ("Fast track")
(similar weather)
1.35
6.27@108.75
8.23
9.90@134.4x
AND TODAYS NEW BEST....FIRST AND ONLY FULL PASS OF 2011!
1.356
6.218 @ 109.74
9.823 @ 135.12
NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE CAR EXCEPT NEW FUEL SYSTEM AND THE USE OF E85!!!
Now to tweak it and go the 9.7x i know it will!
