Grocery Getter runs 13.003 @ 108.31
Well me and a buddy quickly decided to pack our things up and head over to Atco last night. The last time I went to the track was back in June which I ran a 13.115 @ 106.08 with a 2.120 60 foot on race fuel.
When I went to the track last night I wanted to see what my car did with 93 octane only so the first 2 runs I ran with 93 then the 3rd and 4th I ran with 110. The different from last time at the track to this time was I was commanding more WOT timing (around 20) had my frozen boost FMHE installed, and WOT rpm shifts were much higher then before. 1.) 1st Run I ran all by myself again on 93 octane. I was seeing KR at 4800rpm in 3rd gear so I lowered it one to 19*. 60' = 2.329 1/4 = 13.214 Trap Mph = 108.45 2.) 2nd Run I ran against my buddy however I threw him off resulting in a time that does not respect what his car really does. This was once again with 93 octane. I did not see any KR this run if i recall. 60' = 2.275 1/4 = 13.147 Trap Mph = 108.32 3.) 3rd Run I ran against a SC Cobalt SS. The only thing I could see he had done to the car was install a smaller then stock pulley. He ran a 13.908. I was running on 110 octane this time around. This was my best time of the night and to date. 60' = 2.150 1/4 = 13.003 Trap Mph = 108.31 4.) 4th Run I ran against a 99-04 gen Mustang GT. I don't know if he fell asleep however he ran a 15.780? I raised my WOT RPM shift a little to see if I could somehow pull off a 12 however no luck this time. 60' = 2.235 1/4 = 13.126 Trap Mph = 108.25 If I could have SOMEHOW pulled off a 2.0 60 foot I would have been into the 12's last night. However with running 225 street tires I guess its pretty freaking hard to do so. My best 60 foot to date is a 2.1 and that was trying extremely hard to lay into the petal but while at the same time not trying to spin the tires. I REALLY want to try to hit a 12 on street tires before I change over to DR's. I have to say though it was nice seeing a lot of guys coming up to my car being impressed that my size of a car ran a 13 flat. That made me feel good. Also my trap seemed to be much higher this time around. Before I was trapping at 105-106mph and all last time I was doing 108mph. I also ran a 13.1 on 93 octane (would have been better if my 60 foot was lower. My buddies best of the night was a 14.2. That is pretty impressive on a stock pulley, exhaust (no headers), intake, and very mild tune. Considering these cars stock run 14.8-15.0. He owns a 1999 Buick Regal GS |
Nice man, glad to see this thing come along compared to the old piece hahaha

I don't see ANY difference from pump to 110.
Since you have something to monitor KR and can advance your timing, why don't you turn your timing up a couple of *'s and watch KR. Maybe you can run 24-25* with the 110oct w/ 0KR and raise that trap speed up, that should net you a 12 sec pass. |
Consistent, nice.

I wish I could run that high of WOT timing however in these motors you just can't do that it seems without getting any KR. Stock these motors run at 16* WOT timing on a 3.8" Pulley. I am on a 3.0" pulley and close to 21* WOT timing. Most likely I could squeeze a little more timing out of the car once I get my wideband installed. As of right now I am pretty much blind as of what my car really is doing at WOT AFR wise. |
Congrats man. Sounds like we need to line up soon but I have a good felling I'm going to get my ass handed to me.

HMMM what do they have at Acto on sunday. Isn't it braket racing. Hit me up later today and let me know whats up

From the results you posted you're wasting your money on 110. Unless you're running a serious amount of timing advance or are running high boost on a forced air induction vehicle it's pretty much pointless. Save your money and put it elsewhere. You could try adding a can of Torco to your fuel but i doubt that would make much of a difference.
