thanks, I can't wait to get back out there and push it further into the low 10's

60ft 1.64 ( I HATE HATE HATE IT )
330 4.49
1/8 6.79
MPH 106.77
ET 10.42
MPH 135.16



My slip from last night in a customers STI.. Pretty similar to yours, and both cars make the same whp.. To bad I needed race gas!

mine:
60' 1.68

MPH 135.13

wow, that's dead dick on Junior and one quick STI for sure. What does that car weigh and what did it dyno? I'm sure my DLL Dyno is generous compared to say the stingy Buschur Dyno, probably about 50awhp too high I'd guess. I just put the HTA86 .82 on to replace the HTA 35R .63 and on the first pull the DLL Dyno went from 600 to 617 then the 1st gear went out . I don't know my car weighs but the only purposely weight reduction that was done would be the mini battery for the buschur uicp and removal of the spare tire/jack. In fact I had about 30-40lbs of tools and video equipment on board I weigh about 170 and just guessing at my race weight but maybe 3400lbs? Stock exhaust is heavier but race fmic is heavier so it's hard to say. My AFR went well into the 10's at the top of 4th and I think that's why the trap layed down after the 8th...a shame my logger cable died. All I had to "tune" with was my wb02 gauge and boost gauge so I didn't touch anything.

that's a pretty fair guess on the weight chris. we have a set of long acre scales at the shop we use and my car weighed 3210 w/ spare and jack. so, you may be a little under 3400#'s

Chris, It looks like your car is laying down on you. He outgained your mph in the backhalf, but it looks like your quicker shifting must have held on to the et lead. .

Chicken.

Mr. Mellon thought i'd share my last slip as it's almost dead on to yours as well excpet for the fact that it dropped mph big time as i had old fouled plugs in her.

Too bad i too have to run race gas and my car's pretty light being an RS w/ the small brakes. Your car sure is making POWER!

#'s sound about right as i haven't dyno'd my car in a while but i expect to see about 530 on our MD which seems to be similar to Buschur's.

I sure hope my tranny hold out a bit longer

Hmm that's considerably lighter than I figured my car was...do you have some light weight bits? Mine's an 05 with ACD.

Chicken.

I knew none of that would get past you Tom, that's EXACTLY what I saw in the comparison but I didn't want to tell the guy he shifts slow

yeah I could feel the car laying down at high rpm so I glanced at my WB02 and it was going into the 10's AFR I did a test the other night with DLL Dyno and with my AFR in the high 10's I lost ~ 50awhp, no wonder I could feel it nose dive. Totally explains the mph falling off. I figure it's good for 137ish on 93 octane with the right AFR, maybe even more with the new HTA86 if I extract more power. And yes, I was too chicken to up the boost without being able to log anything

good info there, very similar runs! I so itching to get back out there and finish up my 93 octane tune/testing so I can get on to the good stuff and really go for that 9 second pass on the stock ecu

MELLON DON'T RUIN YOUR THREAD.. LOL. That car was on a Dyno Dynamics, the same one I go to. It made 621 whp w/ 1.2 correction and 516 w/ 1.0 correction.

I cant wait to see you back to the track.. I am looking good to see what that HTA86 can do with race gas this weekend.. as long as nothing else decides to act up.

Good luck man! You have one Awesome combo!

[Evolution IVGSR]

This is why I want a stock ECU... So you can tune it for me and get me the power I want and Speeds I want Your amazing and congrats on hitting 10's

yeah i should have learned from your thread that turned into a dyno war . I won't get too hung up on dll/dyno figures and just work on those trap speeds

good luck out there Freddy...I've been saying every day "I can't wait to get back to the track" I haven't been this anxious in a long long time. I think it''s because I only got to play with the HTA86 for part of a day before the tranny let loose.

good news, your car comes with a stock ecu! give me a shout when you're ready to join the Mellon ARMY

Mellon,

Your car should easily click off a 9.8-9.9 sec run with meth right??

eh, I don't care much for meth. I'd rather do it with pump or race gas

Yeah, I totally understand, but for me I'm a handicapped guy that rely's on meth 24/7

yeah, lol... I'm being serious....

I'm planning to convert my current AMS 50 Trim set-up to a HTA35R set-up with the 5 bolt .63A/R back end... and hope to make enough power to do high 9's with 93 pump and meth....

would I be able to pull these times with this setup?

[psphinx81]

chris, u send the tranny to BR yet? i still gotta get to yanking mine out

how long did it take for your HTA86 to come in? i ordered mine last week, just trying to get a ballpark figure here..
