Over the last few months I've been testing my 19' Comp with different fuels and blending different fuels together. I'll share what I've found. Please share with me what you've found if anyone has actual numbers from Dragy or drag strip. Don't tell me "your car FEELS faster" or your "buddy thinks it's faster". I want hard evidence backed by Dragy or track time slips

It's important to keep all of the variables consistent. A 10 degree drop in ambient can affect times by .2 or more. DA is also very important. Here's what I have so far

DME stage 2, MSR uppers and lowers, no cats, MSR intakes, Meth Injection on custom MSR throttle plates

Fastest 1/4 mile time is 10.27 at 135.69
2200 DA, 93 degrees ambient, Sunoco 260GT

60-130 6.89 using 93 octane
60-130 6.74 using Sunoco 260GT
60-130 ??? Going to try 5 gallons 260GT with 1 gallon of Ignite E85. I will let you know tomorrow

60-130 7.35 VP MS109 straight on 93 Tune. Horrible time. Car was slow. MS109 does not work with 93 tune as I found out.
60-130 6.59 DME E30 6 gallons of 93 blended with 4 gallons of E85 out of the pump.

All of these times are in Florida heat 85-93 degrees. DA over 1800

For ms109, you have some step to follow before processing a good run and profit all the benifit...

Work great for me. I'm doing the same time as your time with stage 0.5 with approx. the same DA. BTW, temperature is already include in DA.

Put some track slip. Just to see your 0-60', and data logging from your tune .. afr, iat, etc ...

For the draggy #, it is not my cup of tea...

PM me if you want!

BTW : for me stage # mean something like this ::


S1 : Dp, Tune, Meth, Race gas
S2 : ++ forged engine + turbo mods, +axle, +tranny
S3 : can't drive the car daily, just for drag... rool cage, parapak, etc .. ++ turbo, ++ tranny, - less weights, suspension, ...



And admin, thread should be move in f90 vs ....

Hey Bro.

I think I'm following you on IG. I have the Nardo M5. I think I bought your JB4. Thanks for this info as I too track times on Dragy. I'll post my time soon.

Question. You said you have meth are all of these times with the meth activated?

E30 run was with 2.75" Keller DP and Eventuri. Now I have MSR 3.5" DP. I haven't done an E30 run yet with MSR parts

I was told by Mo from DME that MS109 on their 93 tune does not work because it's highly oxygenated fuel (10%) and the fuel trims max out and car runs lean resulting in computer pulling timing. 93 tune needs 93 pump gas or a blend. 100 octane fuel with low oxygenation (under 3%) will work like Sunoco 260Gt.

My 60ft times are 1.54-1.59

Draggy is not perfect but it gets you close

Spark plugs are factory gapped. I replaced them at 14k miles. I think gap is .022 or maybe .018 can't remember

PSPS with 18k on them.
