is what my car made on the dyno earlier this past week. Some laugh, some scuff, and even I was a little, teeny tiny bit disappointed in it for a short period of time.
But alas, I got down to the track today:
12.05 @ 115!!!!! New best by a long shot! Plus a kick-ass reaction time!
And to back it up:
and
The DA out today was a nice -1300 feet.
Oh, and for people not familiar with my car, this is on a PI motor, 8 pounds of boost, mild blower cams, meth injection, CAI, and an offroad Prochamber. Car has the STOCK auto transmission (converter included), STOCK 3.27 rear gears, and NO weight reduction.
Those first 2 slips were done on my old tune for the NPI motor. It has a lot more timing in it down lower in the RPM range. Hence the better 60's and 1/8 traps. But it's richer up top because of the PI heads, which is why the 1/4 trap is down a bit.
The third slip (and all the rest on the day) were done on my most recent tune, which is MUCH safer and better than my old one. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it, as I trapped 117+ mph three different times (!!!). BUT, it still needs a little tweaking with the timing down low. My new tuner definitely is a little too conservative with the timing down low (<4000 rpm); even though I'm spraying meth during the burnout, and thus bringing the initial temps way down, it's still pulling some timing for a second or so before the meth starts to cool down the intake temp. This will cause it to bog off the line, resulting in slower 60's and ETs. I hoping to get that straight sometime this week, and once it is, this car will be as strong as it'll ever be in this setup. I REALLY like how well it pulls the entire way through the RPM range, especially up top.
I think at this point, a set of gears would easily put me over that 11.99 point. Probably going to get those done sometime after the first of the year.
Oh, since a few of us were were talking about methanol a couple weeks back. My new tune is setup so that it will pull a LOT of timing if the IATs go very high at all. In other words, if the methanol doesn't spray, it pulls timing and keeps it safe. Well, on one pass this afternoon, the methanol did not spray for some reason. The light was on, meth was in the tank, everything was fine, but for some reason it didn't spray. (On a side note, I think an incident like this is the reason my last motor blew up, as my last tune doesn't pull timing fast enough in a situation like this). So, the tune did it's job, pulled timing, kept it safe and everything was hunky dory. Well, except the performance of the car:
So on a tune that is SAFELY set up with and without methanol, I picked up 4 tenths and 7 mph with methanol. It'd be more like 5 or 6 tenths if the tune was right down low. I'd call that a worthy mod.
Whew! Long day, but the best I've felt about my car in a while.

That 11 sec run is just a tweak or two away! 
that thing is movin out Will!!! Good stuff man, congrats 
good luck with that. Piece of advice from a wise old 29 year old 
don't get married or have kids if you really want those things... I make damn good money for my age but having a family is f**king expensive. It's like $6000+/year for groceries (includes diapers and wipes), $3,000/year for medical expenses (my kids meds and Dr visits), $7500 for each year you have a baby (hospital charges for delivery, etc...), 401K (>$10K/year), health insurance is $3,600/year, house big enough to sleep all four of us is $18000/year (includes taxes and insurance), etc... then you add in car payments, car insurance, student loans, utilities, cell phones, and there really isn't much money left over for nice toys.... hell even going out to eat is expensive now. Wife and I could get a damn nice meal for $25-30 including alcohol. Now it costs us like $50 to go out to eat.
