Man... I dont know. 10's would be a LOT for this blower. This is a lot of truck to get moving.

I hate making "excuses" or coming up with reasons why it could or should be faster. That said... here goes nothing lol:

1) My 60' leaves a lot on the table. I feel with the power I make I shouldn't be too far from a 1.60 if its spot on. That's a far cry from the 1.75 I had on this run. I've already made some tune changes to help this.
2) Next is I know there is even better weather to come here in New England. It can only help... and it tends to help a LOT.
3) Also, my timing was surprisingly low. Between BKR knocking down timing off the line and then IAT's taking away from top end timing it wasn't where I wanted it for nearly the entire run. I wrote a new tune for the track and I forgot to mess with that table unfortunately. In 3rd gear when I was close to 15PSI I was running only 13.5* of timing. I'd bet it will take 15.5 in that situation very safely... another area where I left a lot of power on the table.
4) Finally... I still run the 222/226 cam. Not that its 'wrong' clearly, but its not 'perfect'. Even just a few degrees of change would make a couple noticeable ponies for me. If I was going down this path again I would have had it biased a little more toward boost knowing it would have still run strong NA. Maybe a 221/228 114+3 being more of a 'compromise' than what I have now.


If I can nail down a 1.60, and grab all the power I have down the track (while keeping it safe... relatively) I think its actually possible to see an 11.3x. Insane by any standards.

All that said... I can think of an extended cab who has a few of those issues sorted out who is in a great position to reach that 10 second target. We wouldn't want to mention any names and add to the pressure though, would we, Tim?

 

I think you can get a real low 11, did you stick to the stock 317s after all?

 

LOL I love it.

Yea I did.

 

Maybe a good set of heads could get you closer to that low 11. Why don't you try running e85? I think you can get away with more timing plus lower IAT's

 

No e85 here, and if the heads are coming off a 2300 is going back on.

 

I hear ya well I heard of ppl running 20 range timing on tvs 2300 but then again it was a forged motor and he had race fuel plus meth. But I think it'll be nice to see a tvs 1900 go 10s especially in a 4 door.

 

Yea race gas is a game changer. I don't plan on going much further than 16 or MAYBE 17*. 17 makes me uncomfortable though to be honest. I feel happy with 16. Of course we will see how it performs like this and go from there. I just don't want to be greedy.

 

Gotcha, do you have stock bottom end?

 

Dont get greedy on the timing man, would hate to see you pop the motor.

 

Yea you're right I need to make sure I don't go overboard.

From what I have seen in other combo's like mine, 16* shouldn't be pushing my luck too bad. We will see how it runs. I've been slowly creeping it up by 1 or .5* in certain areas to make sure that its going to take it without any huccups.
