Default Me vs Amerkin: 1/2mi Roll Race

Had the opportunity to race Amerkin this past weekend at Shift-S3ctors Airstrip Attack.

This was for the N/A roll race title. Super CLOSE race.

We're both 600+rwhp I'm on e85 and he's on 109+meth

On to the video. Looking forward to racing again next event

Tunes are $450. But you'll need the injectors, fuel pump, etc.

This run was 164mph due to the spinning at the start. Got up to 168+ the earlier times

This was a great race to watch guys! Thanks for posting.

I am curious as to the effectiveness of the 109+meth combo. I feel like the meth may just complicate the tuning process and result in less than optimum fueling particularly when air density is drastically different then when the calibration is performed.

What tire are you running? I had to swap to an OLD Hoosier R6 cause it was taller. Gained about 5mph from it but I was spinning them as you see in the vid.

My 335/30/18 were just too short Id max out 7500 and only 165mph
