Intake temps are no doubt higher than they were last year with the single turbo. I haven't done a complete pull to see exactly how bad they get. It was in the 90s when I took that log so intake temps ideally would have been ambient temp but they were a couple degrees hotter.
I also got the wrap from the harness at cabletiesandmore.com

Car went 2 passe down the track and then they kind of looked at me seriously after running 9s and not having a fire jacket. So the talon went 9.92 at 138.9 mph. Going back friday with a boost controller and a fire jacket and we will see if I can get here down. Car is extremely smooth. High 11 AFRS with pretty moderate timing for e85. These freakin FIC 2150s are awesome. I am only at 60% IDC. Plenty of injector to go. Tuning this car with DSMlink has proved to be easy no matter what setup it has had on it. 5 bar map sensor and the car idles like stock. Spent maybe 30 minutes tuning the car. All the Kiggly parts are holding up. I am going to make sure the torque converter bolts are tight tomorrow but I am sure they will be good. Here is the time slip:
I have a video of the run that I will post tomorrow.

I can't believe this was with only 37 PSI boost. I can't wait to see what she can do with 10+ PSI more!

Not sure what his best times were for the weekend, but he won the DSM Eliminator class at the Buschur Shootout with a 9.77 at 140 mph in the semi final and 9.73 at 140 mph in the final.

Thanks for the compliments. I hope to see this setup become more popular in the 4 banger world. Kiggly told me I have the fastest stock torque converter by quite a distance and I don't even need nitrous to set that record.
The car was so consistent all weekend. It went 9.7 and 9.8 on Saturday and qualified 1st in DSE. I had a super easy day Sunday and didn't have to race until the Semi's. Its crazy because Drew Jones and I were talking all day about getting deep into DSE and we go head to head in the semi finals. It seeing these guys putting their cars to kill mode. If Drew would have had a clean pass it would have been 9s. I think he turned it up to 42psi. He melted the ground strap on his spark plug and might have dropped a cylinder and he shut it down at the 1000ft.
So I make it to the finals vs. the defending DSE class winner and stock block record holder Cory Bowers. I had to hot lap into the finals so they gave me a 10 minute cool down. While I am holding my hood open Cory comes up to me and tells me he turned his boost up. I am like "OO great".... Get to the line and I got my coolant temps down to about 200*. Get on the limiter, hit the second stage, and boom Cory is a fricken car ahead of me. He ripped a personal best 60ft against me. Make it to the 330 and we are evening out and then all of a sudden I pull on him. Later I find out he hit his fail safe boost cut in AEM and that's why he dropped out.
It was a blast getting to shoot the shit with all the guys in the staging lanes. Everyone was pushing there cars to the limit. Setting personal bests, setting records, ect. Couldn't have been a better class to compete in.

Sounds good man. Thanks for taking the time. The car is smooth I would imagine because of the auto. A ton of guys are still 5 speed.
