maciah was over last night, and suggested that a few people might be going to GLD on Nov 24th. since he's not on this forum... i thought i'd ask the opinions of others, if anyone is interested?? seeing as how byron got cancelled this weekend, maybe some are up for GLD later this month.

that's all.

I'll go if I'm in town and feeling OK. Cold is good for turbos. If this is the last day at the Grove in the past they have had free food at the consession stand.

You should run your car.

11-09-2007, 08:25 PM

As much as I would like to end my well rounded season of auto-xing, lapping days, dyno runs, and street racing with legit strip action, I think I'm gonna pass.

That is Thanksgiving weekend. We normally get snow and its usually quite chilly. Not a big fan of freezing my arse off.

How about having a LAN party instead!

I'd be up for a LAN party, I recently purchased BF 2142 and Counterstrike Source :) I ran regular BF2 on my puter flawlessly. Plus I haven't done a LAN party since last winter. Anyone else be up for this. I'll bring the soda, chips, etc.

I am in, but only if somebody will drive to whitewater with me after racing, so I can drop my car off, then ride back home. I'm going to keep the car down here a couple more weeks, and don't want to drive it there and back and there and back within a half-day. I'm in either way for watching, but would love to race.

so far... here's the plan on my end...

GLHottie, macayaaaaah, and myself will be going down to Milw friday night, leaving about 4:30ish. anyone is welcome to join us.

Dizmm might be coming too if he can get off work early. otherwise, he'll need a ride down Saturday morning (Evil???) but will be returning with us either sat night or sunday.

anyways, that's the plan on our end. we are going, assuming there is no snow friday night.

I wanted to go, but couldn't find a reason to confuse my weekend that much(driving that far, leaving my car down there, somehow getting home only to go back sunday). Also, I haven't done anything to my car all summer, so the gains from 12.9 would only be to about a 12.6. You guys picked the one weekend I was home to go down there :roll: .

Had to run it to 8000 rpm in 4th gear to get that mph.

EVILUTION

11-24-2007, 08:10 PM

I wasn't able to launch as hard as I do on the street. A hard launch created wheel spin and wheel hop. I ended up launching without boost so the clutch held ok.

I have an Exedy Twin Disk sitting on the shelf waiting to go in.

I'm more pissed about having to run to 8k rpm than having a shitty launch.

TomKat

11-24-2007, 09:08 PM

A 1.6 second 60' and you were launching easy. ????? :? Damn.

11.9 that's awesome. 8)

116 mph. Damn.

EVILUTION

11-24-2007, 11:26 PM

Yes...

The 12.0X@114 runs were made with launch control but not building boost. Simply hitting 5500 and dumping the clutch. Thats why all the speeds are lower.

The 11.97 is LC with about 5lbs of boost and wheel hop. You should be able to see it on the video (whenever they get posted). I normally see 12-15LBS.

The clutch didn't like higher boost and sticky tires at the autox.

Todays runs were made on fully inflated frozen snow tires.

BUT.... enough about me....

The other cars hauled ass as well.....off the top of my head...

Micaiah ran an 11.68 with a 50 shot and the GSXRated pulled a 13.0 spinning off the line and without NLTS!!!!

Not sure what the MPHs were though.

Pointdsm

11-25-2007, 12:11 AM

wow, GSXRated did really good! Congrats.

Maccaiiiyaaa should do a little more and get into the 10's.

BadAss88GT

11-25-2007, 07:19 AM

Congrats! Welcome to the 11 second club!!!!

Going from 11.68 to 10.99 takes a ton more, I would say maybe another 100 on top of that 50 shot might get him there. Ive been fighting with this same goal since mid-summer, and I only need just under 2 tenths to go 10s, still cant find the extra power.

TomKat

11-25-2007, 09:11 AM

I'd be interested in Mack Aye Ahh's and GLHottie's mph and 60' times.

Those are some really good times. :shock:

I was very impressed with Sara's GSX.... I offered her a gallon or two of turbo blue but her race crew declined because her car still has the cat on it! She needs to uncork that exhaust and then crank the boost.

Miciaih knows hitting 10s on the laughing gas alone is a reach. He mentioned having has a master plan for the off season. Like Dizmm it could bring a V2 version.

I think it was worth the trip to GLD to avoid WIR.

She needs to uncork that exhaust and then crank the boost. i think the race gas, along with more timing, and it would be a 12.99 car for sure. the timing was still pretty safe, only about 15' - 16' of timing, with race gas we could have added a little more timing, upped the boost, kept the knock away... and probably ran a 12 second pass. however, a 13.0 is still pretty impressive for a catted-car if you ask me....

You should be able to see it on the video (whenever they get posted). was working on them tonight... but am having some issues exporting as MPEGs from Studio 9. will make sure they are up by tomoro night though for sure!!! working on one now still, but its of GSXRated... sorry. hopefully that one will be up by morning.

EDIT:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHbzdDDVtR8

first one is done... uploaded over night. this is only about half of her runs... the others we were trying different settings and might have been a tad slower. we got it VERY consistant with about 5-6 runs in a row at 13.8x... then she broke that and went faster. we ended up lowing the SB quite a bit to allow for a great launch on the cold track. so there was a lot of playing around going on. will get Macaayyaaaahhh's and Evils up tonight i hope.

EVILUTION

11-26-2007, 10:37 AM

I was reviewing logs from Saturday.... One of the main things I noticed between my logs and Micaiah's logs were intake temps at the MAF.

STOCK AIR BOX: While staging my car was seeing consistant intake temps of 55*. These dropped to mid 40s at the the end of the 1/4 mile.

OPEN FILTER UNDER HOOD: On Micaiah's car his intake temps were 93* at the tree and only dropped to 63* at the end of the 1/4 mile.

Also on average we both take .5 seconds per shift. I'm using NLTS and my very fastest shift is from 3-4. It was .45 seconds from IDC on/off/on. When I tried shifting into 5th gear at 7k it took .89 seconds and cost me 3 mph. YIKES!

OPEN FILTER UNDER HOOD: On Micaiah's car his intake temps were 93* at the tree and only dropped to 63* at the end of the 1/4 mile. thats interesting. so his special filter setup really isn't helping him any. your stock airbox is actually keeping the intake temps COOLER than his open air filter. i'm not sure if he has a heat blocker plate in there, but i know i saw the stock airfunnel still there directing air towards his filter.

Darth was definately faster than Darse. The EVO9 spools faster but my EVO8 had a hell of alot more top end. The nine is more fun to daily drive but the eight pulled and pulled forever where as the nine peters out up top.

After our dyno session I compared my EVO8 (mustang dyno) to EVO9 (middle of the road dyno). My EVO8 (Darth) made 376whp on a low reading dyno where Darse makes only 349whp on a higher reading dyno.

I'm sure I could add a LICP, O2 housing, boost controller @ 27psi, alcohol inj, and mivec cams to Darse and see as good if not better power.

Did VPT even run his car at the track this year? What about last year? Maybe next year... maybe not.

A tid bit of information....

When I ran my 03 EVO8 with just exhaust and tune it ran a 12.8@108. The EVO9 currently has the same two mods and is .8 quicker and 8 mph faster. I guess the EVO really does evolve.

You have to give Darth more credit. That time was without race gas?? - I'm sure you are better at tuning now - wet tires on the launch - it was much warmer. Plus if I remember right you only got 2 runs in that night.

EVILUTION

11-26-2007, 05:01 PM

EVILUTION

11-28-2007, 09:43 PM

Mitsu nailed down the parts they put into this car. Everything works very well together. The cams are perfectly mated to the turbo and the gearing is about as dialed in as you can get for stock performance. Even though its on the bleeding edge for my power level its still decent.

I think theres about 40whp left to squeeze out with bolt ons and tune. An O2 housing, LICP, MBC, and drag race flash would all provide additional returns.

I'll probably toss those on AFTER the gearing is adjusted.
