Can you get 93 octane ? I would love to see if you pick up a few tenths with it
Dave
I can get 93 at sunoco gas stations around me, but they are not convenient to get to. Sometimes I'm lazy and don't feel like going out of my way, so I grab 92 at other stations. I'm running the 91 tune so I don't have any issues. I plan on getting long tubes and a professional tune soon, and then I will make myself get the 93
For this upcoming friday, I'll get 93 and use the diablo 93 tune and report back in this thread with my new times. Perhaps with that and lowering tire pressure I can shave a bit of time down. I really want my 60' to be under 2.00
I am running Firestone Firehawks in the stock size, non run flat. My first pass of the day was my fastest, and the one posted. I got zero spin on that initial launch at 32psi. I credit that to the track temperature at that time. My later runs were after cloud cover rolled in and things cooled down, and I experienced mild spin on the rest of my runs, resulting in my slowest run of 12.51 @ 114.8.
I suspect your Michelins are much stickier than my firestones, although I do recommend airing down to 28psi. Again, I will post my new times at 28psi after Friday.
It was my last run of the night when it cooled down to about 75*. I got a tank of 93 and uploaded the diablo 93 tune. TC/AH completely disabled. Tires at 26psi. Glad to see my first sub 2sec 60ft.
My Texas Speed headers and Xpipe arrive on Wednesday!
Wheel spin with a 1000 rpm launch? maybe on ice....:total:
Really???
Not sure what you are driving but with CAI , headers ,high flow cats, NPP's open and a Tune with TC on and brand new pilot super sports I can break them loose just punching it to the floor and the shift into second is violent. ...
With TC off I can blow the tires off the car ........that is why I am asking at what rpm he was launching at......
I think I misunderstood. I need drag racing edumacation....lol. So, you are holding rpms steady at 1000rpms and then punching it to the floor? Sorry....long day. I get wheel spin from idle and up....wasnt thinking pal...

Tell me more about it. How do you qualify and how long did it take to get up to the starting line. I just may meet you out there next time.
Yes, I get wheel spin launching from 1000rpm in my car on street tires. Have you ever driven an A6 LS3? It's fun
No qualifying is necessary, it's just a grudge racing night. You pay the entrance fee, get your car tech inspected, and then you run heads up against whatever car you happen to be next to. What do you drive? If it's faster than 12.5, you need a SNELL approved helmet. There's never a whole lot of waiting, and enough time to let the car cool down between runs. It's a ton of fun to use your car the way it was intended to be used! If you are local to Maple Grove, it is a great way to spend a friday evening. hope to see you there!
Also, every trip to the track I realize more and more that I NEED a higher stall torque converter. I am leaving so much on the table with the stock converter. Really considering a 3200 FTI or Circle D triple disc converter in the very near future.
First trip to Maple Grove
