we went to the track last night. i dont see where i posted up about our race gas to meth swap out so let me paste that in here.
ok, we learned a few things tonight. some things were confusing. we were running 2 lc1's but were getting significantly different numbers from one bank to the other. 9.5 on the right, 11.0 on the right. sensor location wasn't exactly the same, one turbo might be leaking a slight bit of oil... who knows why they were different. also our boost was floating around as much as .5psi. kind of hard to count on your numbers if you see .5psi change in boost.
mustang dyno, no intercooler, locked 4l80e, boost around 10psi, stock 6.0 other than 02 z06 cam and good springs.
base run with 118tt fuel and 16deg of timing was 499-505rwhp. a/f at 11.5-11.9, 3 runs, iat's in the 220-240 range.
switch to meth and tune to 9.5 on the same gauge got us 524rwhp, 2 runs with exact same hp numbers. iat's droping to 80deg by the end of the run. from 240 with race gas to 80 with meth.
move timing up to 18deg and gained 17hp(541hp) but we also saw a .5more psi.
moved timing to 20deg and got a couple more hp, then 22deg and a couple more hp, then 24deg and a couple more hp. we ended up around 555hp. the hp alone was not worth running that much timing but the car was pulling much cleaner each time we added more. chart was smoother and the power after the peek numbers carried much better.
next we tried to add a little boost. after about 5 runs we were never able to get our boost solenoid to work. what we did see is the car getting leaner and leaner. not sure why it was geting leaner but i can say for sure the car liked it. each run we made more power but boost never went up. af ratio ended up around 11.3(11.9 on lc1 number 2). at that a/f ratio we pulled 604rwhp. this was back to back runs.
we are happy as could be with 600rwhp at 10psi. seems like that would be around 700rw on a dynojet. the fairmont was a lot different but for comparison sakes we made 535rwhp at 14psi.

last night we hit up that track for the first time.
whoa. car runs good
drove it to the track
first run was a soft launch, 1.83 60' and then john let out well before then end and ran a 7.0@92
next run he hit it slightly harder off the line and pulled a 1.77 60' and then hit the brakes before then end. ran 6.9@91
third run he did a pretty hard brake stall before leting the car go and pulled a 1.65 60'. on that run he ran it all the way. timing malfunction :bandhead:
while waiting in line for another run the car died. it never dies. turns out we burnt up a voltage regulator or something along those lines. easy and cheap fix but not at the track so we had to drag it home.
i didn't drive the car but from where i was at it looks very smooth and it looks like it is really moving. we didnt expect a 1.65 60' with just a brake stall so we are real happy about that. john said he is almost sure it pulled a wheel on that last run. car seems so quiet at the track. i bet that last run was in the 6.6 range at well over 100mph.
next is a little nitrous to help it off the line. for now it is making plenty of power so making it off the line better and working threw any issues will be our next goals. i think it will be well into the 9's on 10-11psi which is our minimum boost.
