The only things different is I added an "on command" auxiliary fuel pump running parallel to existing pump and filter with PSI regulator I Also did some work to the intake (modified and extrude honed) this winter.
Best time: 1/4 Mile = 11.38
Followed with a 11.45 and 11.50 thirty min. apart I really need some rubber under the car. I'm spinning the hell out of tires on a well prepped track.
I do have a secret though, Running at 12' above sea level
Good luck with the Nitrous. What are you using to monitor your knock count? An aftermarket sensor? (I know Eurocharged sells one, did you get it?) I wish we could monitor knock with a datalogger through the OBDII port, but the logger and software I have doesn't give that as an option.
I remember reading your posts about the fuel fix. Nice to see options there
What part of the intake did you have work done on? I'm not really interested in doing any sort of porting to my engine (At least not yet).
Could you give the date you got those times? I'd like to lookup the DA. I race at Orlando, which is about 100' above sea level. My best time ever had a DA around -600' (in March), so we get pretty good air here in the winter/spring.
Ever since I started racing and modifying my car, I wanted to get to the point of running around mid 11's in good weather, high 11's/low 12's in the summer. But with my current setup, I'll be lucky to get an 11.99 with good air (I've added a couple of things since I ran the 12.11). I never really wanted to go with a bigger crank pulley, but maybe I need to to get to my target time. We've seen decent results with guys running water/meth injection. So I've been thinking of going that route, but would rather do it with just bolt-ons, if possible.
It's nice to see some good results from the 185. People have been "arguing" for quite awhile that the 185 just wasn't putting up the numbers in the 1/4. Looks like you have a great setup with your car. I wonder how much slower you would've been without the headers and exhaust? I wouldn't mind being a couple tenths slower if I got to keep my stock exhaust.
