Ran 11.02 at 126 on 91oct, SRM k24+
On those larger turbos with more than 18psi's, I'd expect you to be trapping in the lower 130's. But then again with only 91 octane you're probably not running much timing so...
Normally we agree. However, in this case, the MPH is whats telling the story, not the ET.
The 11.8 car clearly had traction issues limiting its ET. The OP had DR's which lead to better 60's and 11.0's. Had the 11.8 car had DR's he would be much closer to the OP's times.
We all recognize his car isn't 100%. We, especially me, hope that it gets sorted because a lot of us have he same parts and know this cars had a lot more potential.
I also never asked where he's running. If it's Colorado and the track is @ 6000Ft, disregard everything I've said!

As soon as the temps drop here I'm gonna hit the track. I wont have TIP 1/4 mile times but I know I'm gonna be upper 120's (127+) on stock K16's and pump fuel.

A few more details... track is at sea level...Da was a little over 2000ft, 60 ft times were not registering initially, but on my 2nd run (11.02@ 126), I went up against a buddy's fbo GTR that got a 1.65 60ft time (DR's in the back) and I was right by his side the whole way down the track. My 60ft in that run shows a 10.66, which I assume was meant to be a 1.66.
If I ran street tires, my ET would be slower but my mph would be higher.
Don't judge my setup by the MPH, this was just some fun runs, with a very conservative tune, which was not even logged/dynoed. I just thought I'd share anyway. I just thought that it was a good enough ET to share.

So, I confirmed, the file I was running at the track that day was hitting limiters, closing throttle. got it on the dyno yesterday morning, and saw that boost was fluctuating between 21 and 19 psi. Corrected that, turned up the boost to 23psi. Went to the track, pulled a 10.82@130 and got kicked off the track for no helmet. Once again, for some reason, 60ft times were not registering, but felt like a 1.78-1.80. I'm sure It has a 10.7x in it as is. This is with 91 octane. I also noticed that it hit the rev limiter in 2nd for a split second before switching to 3rd. Got to raise the rev limiter a bit. I still plan on running 25-26 psi and tuning with the water/meth.

Meth is just a band aid. Just go and do e85 thats what im doing with SRM shortly here.
Brushless fuel pump.
Billet fuel rails.
Fuel pressure regulator.
I already have the fuel lines ready for e85.

Man, I wish I could. ethanol is not readily available around here... I'd have to buy a barrel... I need this car to be a daily driver. My wife likes to drive it too!
How can I edit the title to this thread?
here's a grainy video. I'll try to get a better quality one up soon.

Trust me you will gain a ton of power. Call sunoco or VP racing. They can deliver a drum for cheap. E85 is way cheaper then any fuel. Not sure what the laws are in canada lol.
Thats some fast times man.

Problem is that it goes fast. I have a drum here, and we used 160litres of the 208 drum just tuning a 1000awhp gtr lol. I'd have to buy a drum a week.
Also, I'd have to change my injectors... I may consider ms109 though. perhaps when I'm done with the tune I'll go that route to see the difference.

Excited to see the times after water/meth and more boost.
And I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to run E85 but the only pump source around me is almost 40 miles away and in a direction I never find myself going. That's why I'm leaning towards water/meth, if not to make more power, then to make more power consistently on days like today when it's 102 degrees F outside.
Water/meth is fine when done properly. I've had it on a number of my past vehicles over the years with zero issues ever. A quality set up with with a good tune will net some very nice power gains. There is hardly any e85 stations in Canada, one here in Vancouver is the only one in Western Canada that I know of, and dealing with very expensive drums from VP just isn't practical, imo. Otherwise e85 would be great!
