Yep that's a snap shot and the line is 3rd gear changing to 4th gear. My o2 bung is in between the 1st and 2nd cat. Can you imagine what kind of power I would be running if I was at 17 AFR? I'm not that daring though even though it's not a daily driver.
Read my first post, dang buicks. They are breaking the track all the time. One hit another car and took out the 60' lights in the process. Yep with the mani's on. I'm sure my 60' times were killer, but would be nice to know how low they were. My first pass at 12.008 was before the accident and with spinning the tires I had a 1.901, that's what brought the mph up.

I run 100 oct Torco racing fuel.

 

Sweet runs man!!! That zeitronix looks pretty cool! Just a side question for all you guys running Widebands, what is your AFR at highway speeds?

 

That will depend how hard you are running and what gear? If your in D and just cruising at 75 mph, it should be very conservative. Your seeing my at WOT during a drag race. This shouldn't be on the highway unless your in Mexico. You should be in the 11's or 12's unless your running leaner. Remember at idle the car is factory set at automatically at 14.7 so that shouldn't freak you out. It's under load that you want to see where your readings are at.

 

Thanks cruzin, Thats what I was hoping to hear.

 

again you are the man,, with the few mods you have and making your car run in the 11's is fantastic,
in 51 degree weather i ran 60' 1.812,, 1/8 7.988,, 1/4 mile 12.402 @111.11 in 54 degree weather you did better , now i have something to look forward to .. thanks for showing us that 11 seconds are just around the conner to where you are,. jim

 

let me rephrase that for ya, anything other then WOT should be 14.7:1 whether your idling, cruising at 20mph or 120mph. there will be some small fluctuation but the pcm constantly makes changes to the fuel tables to keep that ratio. once you push the loud pedal to the floor it all changes and then we see 11-12:1's

 

Thanks Rob, no he's the man. I'm a copycat of the man. I'm just a decent driver.

 

Cruzin, CONGRATULATIONS!
I wish I could get mine back to the track. We're watching the SNOW melt now. I cant wait for the tracks to open in the spring. Then I hope to join you in the 11's.

Thanks I'm sure you'll be there with those mods. If I don't like my numbers at famoso next month, I may have to take a seaside trip to woodburn this spring.

 

Let me know if you decide to come up this way. I have a guest room.

 

Thanks again. Were trying to get another shootout in February going, so I'll keep you guys posted.

 

I knew you would get there! It feels good doesn't it?! Haha. Well, congrats man! Welcome to the "11sec" club I love the mph's as well! I ran 2 weeks ago and the weather was perfect again. Unfortunately, I only got to make one pass that day and guess what!? The timing system "glitched" and didn't record the run. Luckily I had my trusty dynolicious running and it told me I went a 12.10@116, but after running side by side with a newer trans am that was running 11.50's that day (I had him by 1/8, but he walked on me by a car and a half at the end) I think dynolicous was a little off. I think I would have been closer to 11's, but who knows.

 

I BELIEVE YOUR THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE 11 SECOND CLUB. CONGRADULATIONS ILLCYA !

 

Thats good mph you have. Did you see my 12.10 at 112...extrmely low mph IMO for the power im putting down and 1.85 60ft. Want to know what happens when you hit 17afr...car pulls massive timing. As in you are slaughtering a 350z then all the sudden it feeels like your car stops pulling and the ******* catches up to you in the blink of an eye. Then you catch 4th and pull him nasty again. That scenario pulled off what a 12.10, wonder what woulda been had the car not shut down the last 3 seconds of each pass...

Anyhow thanks a lot for all the info, your car is running great and its very helpful to see your experiences. Its time for injectors or "different" tune for me.

ps, one more thing...do you arrive at the track with 1/2 tank of 93oct then just add a couple gallons of 100 or do you arrive with an empty tank so you are trully running straight 100oct....also that is unleaded right?

 

Congrats! 117 trap is very nice.
Looking forward to joining the club as soon as the local track opens back up next month.

 

Yes I seen your 12.10, with that 60' means a heck alot of midrange power like the E55. At least your ECU did what it was suppose to do when it seen the high AFR. At least you can race another day.

The fuel is another secret I'll let out, I run only 100 octane all the time $$$. Muncho dineiro. Actually I'm just a tick below half tank after adding 3 gallons of 100 octane at the track, then 3 more before I head home. I don't drive much so I get to the track and a rare putt, putt around the block. That gas smells so pretty . Typical saturday at the track $25 entry, $48 race fuel, $$$burnouts 3rd set of Hoosiers, winning another trophy like the one I got yesterday = priceless. First time ever that my bracket dial in was 11.99.

I'm no expert driver but I do have some experience. One of the guys on the MB board joked about how many runs I have so I went to count my slips. Any guesses? Right about 250 passes!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was lower but I found some more I lost.

Very nice...Especially that 117 mph trap! So I guess the mani's would be next for me to get into the 11's.... Unless I can get to the track when the temps are lower, with more race fuel and with good traction... My 12.1's were in 70 degree temps with 1.7 60ft's. U Da Man!

 

I have to say that I was spoiled running in the 12.0's so easily after my tune. A few hundredths of a second were sure tough to get after that. I don't live in the friendliest climate. Although yesterday was to die for.

 

Evan, great job!! You must be in seventh heaven.
Dad is looking down with a huge smile on his face.
Keep us updated on the next shoot out. Hopefully
I will be able to make it.

 

Thanks RoncoSRT6. Yep he is smiling down and maybe pushed that wing just a little at the end. On the next shootout I'll try to have a date in the next week.
