Not to rain on your parade, but the "tune up" is no secret. With X amount of parts, you have to run X amount of boost and timing and run it lean and mean...etc..A similar combo car went 10.x @ 135 down here years ago. I would like to see a race weight too for arguement sake...

Regardless, still impressive times. Lots of people with more, running slower.
 
So the car makes around 735-750 to the tire. Compression is probably 9:1 or so. 26-28 psi, 30 + degrees of times in low gears, triming out timing up top, and that is probably a "cold" tune up..

IAT on the pass?
 
I'll take a stab at it. All the methanol you can throw at it, 28#'s of boost and pulling fuel out of the chip to see when the mph stops going up. 02's reading in the mid to low .700's. Timing in the 25* range. No knock. That's what I would do.

Oh Russ that knock I was having was the plugs, gone now.
 
Even if someone nails down the tune, you not telling anyway, so it is a mute point.

Good luck, nice times, and bring a shovel and bucket everytime you run it, so you can pick up the pieces....:o

Ya..I race..just don't post about it.(not my thing) Currently, car is down but will be back out soon...little hybrid mustang with a stroker with some tricks!(thanks laz and lonnie)

In all seriousness, what you are doing is impressive. I just had to bust you ballz a little, since everyone else was licking them. The theory everyone is missing is with the fuel and meth, how meth/alky works in the combustion chamber..besides the obvious stuff..
 
we race street cars .. don't have much time and $$$ for a race car. She is poor :eek: I have to enjoy every day I am here .. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel:p
