Homestead. I live in the keys no e85 down here there are some in south miami though.
 
UPDATE: Finally got the car to the eigth mile and ran a best of 7.254 @ 100.85 mph with a 1.67 60'
On street tires? That's an awesome sixty for street tires with a turbo that large as there's a fine line between getting traction, dropping out of boost, and breaking stuff. ;)

Definitely a high-10's pass in the 1/4 with those numbers.
 
The boost absolutly will not drop off LOL, the power is solid as a rock, the tires, however are boiling in first LOL, any ideas on some good tires I could try? Maybe if i can cut a 1.5 i can see some 6's!! I did probly 5 passes that night and drove the car home 35 miles. Very solid build handled it well. I did hear some squeaking when I turn one way I might have worn out a hub that night.
 
Just from experience with the PTT/QM twin disc clutches, get in touch with Tim at TMZ, after stripping 3 sets of discs and 2 input shafts I'm switching to his 'Gear Drive' discs for the QM clutch. Also recommended is running the fluidamper rather than the ATI, seems to work better with twin discs. Awesome results though! I can't wait to get my HX40 back on the dyno and turn it up!
 
Truly impressive car, very reliable, I beat the car like it owes me money and drive it everyday. Crazy good gas mileage too. Hopefully word spreads of my success with Justin's turbo and gets him some business!
 
I had a very similar setup to yours in my old 2g and that car hauled ass. I love the hx40 it is one of the best turbo options out there for dsmers looking to make big power and still be streetable.
 
Nearest quarter is 5 hrs away!! I'd have to trailer it and she don't like bring called trailer queen she's very sensitive.
 
Not trying to start something :argue: here at all... Or take away from what you guys are doing.

But, the weight in the "dyno" graph says about 300 lbs higher than what an average 2g full weight with passengers is... .

100 mph traps in the 1/8 is moving. But, Doesn't seem quite on par to the tune of 600hp... . Though lots of things factor in that.

Also, Since when do virtual Dyno numbers count for the Highest Horsepower Dyno Challenge :confused: <-- Sorry just a bit

Seems like a Trend of people Putting PUMP GAS in their titles of threads and nothing about the meth they are using as well...
 
The weights not that far off, dry car 3142 plus me 190 plus rob 270 plus 3/4-F tank and a craftsman tool box, it's around there. If you check the dyno challenge page right around 600-615hp most of the guys are high 6s to mid 7s excluding a couple guys runnin low 6s with race gas and slicks. The dyno has been calibrated through years of tweaking to match it to a local dynojet. As far as the "Pump Gas" title, e85 guys are equally as quilty for this when in fact their gas produces monsterous results, and in some cases, comparable to race gas! And when I run out of gas, I goto a gas station and fill my tank with pump gas, yes I use meth as well, clearly and accurately explained in the introductory post with nozzle sizes and everything. Not hiding anything here.
 
I have put many cars on the dyno and then used VD right after in order to check its accuracy. It is almost the exact same every time.

Also, anyone with a freaking brain can easily deduce that you don't trap over 100MPH in the 1/8 without some serious HP.

Have you ever even seen a street car trap over 100MPH in the 1/8th and not have 600+HP. (Hondas don't count they don't weigh anything)

We have no reason to lie.

Also, I weigh 225lbs thanks Tom but I'm not that fat yet.......

I think you're cars awesome, but you don't need anywhere near 600hp to do 100 in the 1/8th. 2700 lb car should be able to do it with 400whp. 3200lbs at around 470whp.

Anyone claiming "pump gas" when they run E85 is bold faced lying. Gasoline and Ethanol are not the same, regardless of whether or not it comes from the same pump. However, just because you do fill up with Gasoline at the pump doesn't mean you don't also have an advantage by using water and/or meth injection.

The way I see it, if it didn't give you an advantage over pump gas alone then you wouldn't be using it. So how is it the same, or even in the same category? Especially injecting pre-turbo which has been proven to have very dramatic effects on compressor efficiency.

I'm not saying you guys are lying or deserve less recognition, the car is impressive regardless. But it's pretty misleading when all these guys are claiming "pump gas" when in fact they're using a fuel supplement that allows for 20°+ ignition advance and 40psi+ of boost. That's not something you can do with 91-93 octane alone. In fact, that's E85 territory right there. Again, no disrespect towards you guys, the setup was clearly outlined. The "pump gas" thing is just a huge grey area IMO.

Maybe we need to add a Water/Meth category to the dyno/quarter challenge categories. :hmm:
 
Yes, I think we should add a meth option to the dyno and 1/4m list. I will say when I browse thru some of the dynos and see Pump Gas and Im in the upper 6-- area it freaks me out, but immediately I assume, oh ya, theres meth in there somewhere.

It may very well be Close... .I've done the same and seen cars be miles off as well as almost spot on. But Problem is this is Dyno talk...

NOT,Almost accurate Virtual Dyno talk...
Sorry unless it's on the rollers to me it's not real numbers and just bench racing.

This is just my opinion on things. Nobody has to agree.
I myself have Tons of Logs and pulls I could toss in and get some numbers from. Am I going to post them like they are real numbers here in the dyno section... Sorry Not me. :|

Like I said not trying to take anything away from you here. No disrespect intended. I just don't see how this stands as Real numbers or counts for a Challenge when you take something to use as a benchmark that can be manipulated. Is there an Option to pick Virtual Dyno when you add your info to the Challenge? Didn't think so... .

Nobody is calling you liers As I said I'm just saying these are not real numbers to act as though they are is just stupid again this is IMO... But to me the traps don't add up to this power. The Owner of the car as Race weight listed as 3385 in their profile for the 101 mph trap. FYI... .

I think you're cars awesome, but you don't need anywhere near 600hp to do 100 in the 1/8th. 2700 lb car should be able to do it with 400whp. 3200lbs at around 470whp.

This^

I don't want to crap in your thread here. But, you asked.

I've ran cars I've tuned with quite a bit less power than 600 and hit traps around 100mph.
Hell my buddy had a Full weight Stock Block (just cam's and Head studs) 16g car we trapped 102 in. This was Hot lapping it in 80-90* Whether on 28ish psi and Ethanol. I know the car is only around 425-450 tops. About on par with the Hp Forcefed said above for it's weight.. Like I said just doesn't add up plenty of cars trapping 95-105ish in the 1/8th with lot less than 600 that are full weight...

It's apples to oranges at a point. But to say you need 6xx power to trap that fast is pretty far off.

Here if you think I'm wrong. look at Gofer's profile and you tell me again you need that much power to trap 100 in the 1/8th

As far as anyone saying pump gas,Race gas, e85, methanol. Come on people Just put what ALL fuel is used in the title if you are going to mention anything at all.
Again not try to saying anything bad here about anyone.

Just that a lot of people would at a glance see that title(and others)worded as claiming it's on straight gas. I may not be intentional and yes it's in the first post meth is used. But it's not in the title?
