Went back to the track tonight to see how this thing was gonna run. First pass went pretty well laying down a 1.44 60 and running a 10.51 @ 130.31. I was pretty happy with that since it put me in front of tanner but though I could do alittle better. Messed up second run and slowed to a 10.55 but on the last run of the night with the dew setting on the car managed a

60 1.437
1/8 6.710 @ 105.74
1/4 10.494 @ 130.4

I pulled a pretty good wheelie on that one and bogged the car. I finally got it hooking good on the last run. I was running the 6000 chip in the 2 step so I know I could throw more launch rpm at it and it will pick up. I was also adding fuel all night and it seemed to like it more and more..so I feel there is more in this thing. Oh well...I plan on hitting the track soon again to see if I can improve on it. Also..weight was alittle over 3300 lbs.

P.S.... TANER...beat cha.

 

Awesome run, what was the DA?

 

Nice job Tim!! Keep me in mind with what we talked about

Thanks, Jason

 

Awesome runs Tim. I knew you would run alot better than 10.70's once it was lined out. Later Clint

 

This is part of the fun lining everything out. I have fun doing it. MPH shows there is more I just have to drive it.

 

are you still running the factory computer?

 

No, I run a DFI gen 7 and take it to about 7300. Should go higher as the car is still making power but I don't trust my stock crank.

 

Time to update that sig. Congrats Tim.

 

Great job Tim! Trap speed is awesome man. Post the video link when you get time.

 

here ya go steve

10.55 run
10.49 run


Sorry they are alittle dark, they didn't transfere very well from my camera.

 

Awesome runs Tim! It does my heart good to see M6 cars run well.

How are you getting so much mph out of only 476 rwhp at 3,300+ ? ...just seems high for that .....

For instance, mine is suppossed to only go about ~118-120 at ~450 rwhp and about ~3,700 lbs (haven't run it yet, but other comparable rides trap about ~118-120). Maybe I should just use a calculator, I'm sure the weight difference is most of it ....but still .....130+ is movin' for "only" 476

 

Average power in the range of the gearing. With a 6 speed you don't drop very far so a really wide powerband isn't necessary, so he has alot of average HP in the powerband for the peak number.

 

Hmmm, I would have never guessed that since he's N/A. Usually blower cars (like mine) have more max area under the curve, but it seems the N/A cars with similar peak #'s often trap higher ....maybe the gearing combined with a higher redline is part of the explanation as well. Edit: I see, you're saying average HP in the power curve (not whole curve) ....which may indeed be a much bigger curve (the power part of it) since it's a higher reving motor. He's got the nice low gears to take max advantage of it and like you say, close ratio tranny too. Cool, I see now.

 

Here is his dyno sheet....you can see that he is just starting to peak when the dyno cuts out but look how flat the curve is up near 475rwhp.

PS: I'm not a stalker lol, I just really hope to get my car to this level so I've studied it a bit.
