I will be there with the galant, I am on my race gas tune now. Lets hope I can launch my car and not break anything.

I will be there with the CarDomain/Streetfire EZup. Feel free to come by and hang out.

Sounds good... I'd really like to get out and see what the little 16g can do with some e85.... last time i ran her it was good for 12.20 but that was long ago!

I'm going to try and make it out. No Holset yet so I'll be running on the 16g. I'm going to have to launch the old fashioned way since I lost my VSS signal to the ECU. The good news is I've been running my car on E85 this whole week and I've got a decent tune down.

Haha yes it is, I guess I'm just spoiled because i got so used to the stutterbox.

I won't be finishing up my car until Monday at least so no drag racing for me this Saturday. Have fun guys.

 

[-red97rum-]

Alright suckas, I'll see you all in the morning!

Good times this past Saturday. Track wasn't too crowded and I met a few other dsmers with nice cars. The car did well for it's first outing with the new engine. I tuned the car on E85 using the free Jackal speed density software from www.ds-map.net. On a mhi evo3 16g, boost spiking to 26 psi at spool up and settling at 24 psi thereafter. I didn't have launch control because my ecu is not seeing my VSS signal so I was launching "the old fashioned way."

1st run:
60' 2.0
1/4 12.3
mph 118

2nd run:
The same as the first and I mean almost exactly.

3rd and best run of the day:
60' 1.805
1/8 7.805
mph 93.91
1/4 12.015
mph 118.90

HA i have a timeslip that looks JUST like that???!?!?!

Props to your car! That thing is a beauty and is fast as hell! You have an easy 11 sec car with a working stutterbox!

I believe the next race day is in June... Let's all start getting ready NOW!

 

[TheBoz]

Yep it was a good day at the track. I was expecting some better trap speeds but all in all not bad.

I was hoping to see the 130+mph that day, but my transmission is just not showing me any love right now. Going into any gear is pretty strange, sometimes it goes right in and other times not at all.

I also switched to E85 on saturday after the track. I looks like the car is about 500hp @ 19psi. So now I just to get some dyno time and really crank up the boost.

Sounds like a successful day for DSM's @ the track!!! Congrats guys. If I'm not ready for the June race, I'll be

Thanks man, you got a nice car yourself! Well the next street legal event is on 6/5/10. I may be in Vegas that weekend but if not I'll definitely be taking the car out and hopefully Holset powered!

Wow, nice run Dustin!
