I always have trouble explaining the mass-rate characteristic of turbos to people. It is sort of an abstract concept to grasp, though. Richard, if your HP PID is even remotely accurate, the fact that it increases with your shift to 3rd gear points right at a lack of compressor.

 

Yea im still trying to learn the more in-depth turbo stuff. Just goes to show you that a 1 year stint at a "leading automotive" school doesnt even scratch the surface of what you SHOULD know for performance applications.


So Im guessing the meth plus a very well designed intercooler got you 30* below ambiant?

 

At the very end of the run it went up to 63 degrees and returned to slightly above ambient at 70 on the return road. It is all due to the meth...in a drag race scenario, the intercooler acts more like a big heat sink than a true air cooler, as long as its not a huge flow restriction it will be fine.

 

Nice runs, what happened to the ladder rack? How much have you played with your launch RPM's?

Ever think of spraying meth across the I/C?

 

I left it at home, not a whole lot, thought about it, but seems like a big waste of meth IMO. I would rather spray it in the engine.

 

I don't think the aluminum intercoller would appreciate the mathanol.....

 

badass times!

 

Id think a two step would let you leave a lil better? lower rpm with some boost to let it hit the converter harder?

 

Its that new kinda methanol.. noncorrosive

but i wouldnt want fuel to be sprayed infront of the truck,, enough gets to that hot turbine and might have a lil but of an experience..

 

I bought a 2step last night, so hopefully I can get it on this week and possibly make the track thursday...also ordered some stuff to make some wires so I can give mitch's back, thanks again btw. I think if I can make 15lbs at around 3500 and leave there it will be in the low 1.4 range.
