Cool video
This video is just a rough draft, but im impatient lol. My co worker has a talent for editing. Hit up local 1/8 mile last week, not the greatest track but it was 10 min away. Got a lot of attention after walking a new 5.0 mustang on radials, a new saleen mustang , an evo (dont know mods), many hondas.... pretty sure those runs will be in the final version. We forgot to turn the mic volume up for the in-car shot and a few other spots, but you listen and you will hear tires spinning to 93mph ( end of 3rd).
enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeSR5g5CpPw

Yea I love that song, the original version is great but a tad too slow for a short video. I laughed when I saw reflection too, but hey not bad for rushing the shots. We get paid to work on cars and sell go-fast goodies not making videos... hopefully that will change in the future eh?

I don't think he's ever posted a dyno. Gotta be 250-300+ whp to get times like that, I would think.

Garrett t3 60 trim, 27psi. My fastest 1/4 mile ET was on 23psi ( track was ridiculously well prepped).

93 octane pump gas, with water methanol injection ( peak windshield washer fluid). 12.29 was my quickest ET, once tracks open again after the winter I will run full boost on that same track.

Don't you think running high boost on low octane can cause detonation and damage your motor? What is your maximum ignition timing presently?

Exactly. WMI is the key, plus combined with lower compression ratio pistons high boost is no problem. We have our Time attack tC tuned at 34psi on pump gas with WMI. I'm not sure what my ignition timing is, I haven't looked at my map... I leave that up to our tuner. It is tuned for MBT ( minimum best timing), any good tuner tunes for MBT where any more timing results in no power gain... Beyond that of course knock and detonation occur. I did carry race gas with me when I competed in Ohio for an event this past summer because I wasn't sure if that area had 93 octane. I was prepared to mix.

In our country pump gas tend to vary octane rating so it is a possible reason. |

Your tuner is using a "bandaid" to solve any possible detonation issues. Is the pump gas i your country "leaded" or "unleaded"? Also what is the high octane you can buy @ the pump? Mixing race & pump is not the best thing to do.
