90 talon running a 12.9(vid)

I know this isn't that fast or anything. Just wanted to toss this up because when I was just starting out a 12.9 was all I wanted, so I searched on here for some info on how people got to a 12.9 and couldn't find much. So I hope this helps someone.

You're right...it's not the fastest, it's not the first. But the fact is that you just took a 21 year old car down 1/4 mile and had a blast! This hobby is about having fun. Sometimes it all gets lost in the pursuit of speed, but everyone on this site started somewhere, soooo.... GOOD STUFF! Keep it up.

I remember my first 12sec pass. I was on cloud 9!!! Now I'm planning a 10sec build how goals change so quickly.

Nice run. You have a good amount of room for improvement however in that tune. You're targeting 12.0 in the DA tables, but you added a bunch of fuel in the fuel sliders to drop the AFR's down. Your global fuel might be contributing to this because you have them dialed in as "950cc" injectors.

Thanks Drew for looking at the log. Yes its not pretty, I was a learning back then and have clean up the tune since then.
Hey aren't you one of the fastest water meth guy's?
Quick little question. What was your target AFR with the water meth? And how much are you spraying in there?
Thanks

I'm not sure its the fastest, but I know its up there.

At first I was using a 550cc nozzle and I would target 12.0:1 AFR's. Boost was around 36psi. The meth would drop it down to about 11.5-11.6 AFR. I found that I needed a bit more, so I upgraded to a 800cc nozzle and started adding more methanol over water and it seems to be working pretty good.

Very nice! Love black cherrys! My first pass in mine was 12.1 and I was grinning ear to ear! Keep it up man!

How much boost are you running? Im on phone so can't look at your log, I went to track 4 weeks ago on 17lbs w/o the meth and ran a 13.1 and was pretty excited, but can't wait to go now with the meth and 25lbs, .

 

[Jonnynitrous]

I had tried 20psi but the best i got was a 13.3, so i turned it up to 25psi. I also had a ton of issues, like stock BOV, egr was still stock and operating . ah I was just turning up the boost trying to run fast, and found out thats the best way to heat up the charge and lose performance.
