This is on $3.35 a gallon fuel E85 right from the gas station.

That is really cool, I wonder how many more will try?

This doesn't surprise me one bit..... Glad people are actually starting to see the light!

Does this car have fast XFI with traction control........it hooks too well something is up here...

That frame rail moving around cant be helping. Get that fixed and you will find a few more hundreds. Congratulations.

No this car has a regular xfi no traction control here.

Thanks You. Yeah tell me about it!! I wish I knew how to fix it?

Just out of curiosity, what boost levels are you running to achieve such amazing results? This year in TSO is going to be awesome.

You need to support it vertically from cross bar in the car that connects to both sides of the cage. This way it cannot be pushed up by the lower control arm, which is whats happening. If you need a better explanation let me know.

Sounds like it being shifted at a relatively conservative rpm as well!

On that pass I saw a max 35 psi until the 2-3 shift. It then climbed slowly. Saw 40 psi for a split second right before I let off. Looking for 40+ psi on the next outing throught out the whole pass.

My lower comtrol arms are supported to each other with a cross bar. I also have the roll cage bar in the trunk going to the top of the frame rails which also has a bar going across to the passenger side frame rail.

7500 rpm.

40psi awesome! Congrats! Its not easy to get to where you are! What sort of timing at that number? Mine's still a baby at 17psi and 24deg timing.

Nice pass!
