No drag strip data yet. I'm in the process of selling my weld drag pack. I can't get traction with these 17s. going to covert to a 15 in the rear. also did some more research and saw Cunningham motorsports did a 477 solid roller build with high compression. they ran e85 and had a 114 octane tune they picked up 18 rwhp and 9 rwtq over e85 with the 114. so next fall I plan to get a 2nd tune for 114 octane american racing headers and a electric water pump. planning for 615 rwhp if my ricer calculations are right. other than that I'm very pleased with the way the car is now.

When you go EWP, make sure you drill a 1/8" hole in the thermostat that it comes with. You will never purge the air without it, I know.
I read the CMS build too. Awesome that he made more power with higher octane than E85. I just bought MS109 and feel like I should have gone with a more aggressive fuel. Meh, there's always next year.

Thanks for the heads up on the water pump. I figured I would give the fuel a shot see what it makes but that's down the road. I was surprised they picked up 18 rwhp over e85. I called ignite races fuels and they said that's the gains they are seeing. Do you know what dyno Cunningham has?

CMS has a mustang dyno that is pretty stingey from what I gather. That's the name of the fuel, ignite Racing fuels, I couldn't remember. Did you get a cost quoted to you? MS109 was $82 for each 5 gallon can. I bought three.

When I called him it was actually the owner that I talked to. He said that he does not sell it himself as sending 1 or 2 out is more of a pain for him. He gave me the number to the place that distributes it for him. He was not 100% sure but he thought they sold 55 gallons for $485. I noticed on the fb page they have they want $420 on sale plus shipping whatever that maybe not cheap I'm sure. I have a trucker friend that said if he is by the plant that sells it he could pick it up but not how sure that would work out for him with hazmat.
Dang, that's pretty inexpensive!!! We need a moonshiner to run us some barrels of that stuff! I'm seriously considering it. That's about the same cost as E98, with BETTER hp. Thanks for sharing bro!

No problem. If you decide to get a 5 gallon pail let me know on results. Wish I saw these results before my car was done I would have tuned for it.
Dude, thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it. CMS made great gains, I remember reading that from their FB page.
Racefueldepot.com sells Ignite 114 for a reasonable cost and they are the closest distributor to me. I'll probably pick up 20 gallons or so, $8/gal is far cheaper than I just paid for MS109 which was more like $17/gal.
got my rear 15s ordered today. went with the weld rts71 with a beadlock. now I have to buy the rest of the stuff to convert over to 15 inch wheels. then I want find the stickiest slick I can find.
Had a little chat with my tuner yesterday and talked about our future mods. I asked him where I sit on his dyno compared to other NA LS powered cars. As you can tell I am currently at the top. I'm pretty happy about that. Plan on breaking 600next year which is insane for his dyno especially considering my numbers are thru a power robbing auto conversion and a 4K stall!!
Your car is just awesome man. That's great you are on top of the NA list at your dyno. My local dyno is Huck's Automotive in Foley, AL. Here is a picture of their current top 10 cars.
I'm the only NA car on there! The 585rwhp car is my buddy with a cammed C5Z with a Vortech. I was proud to make more than him, more torque too. NA for life.
That's very impressive josh. Pretty sure you will be moving up a few spots with tonys package. Ive read so many threads on here in the last month with people wanting to make the most power NA. I cant help but recommend Tony every time i actually just pm'd a guy today informing him to contact tony. I'm not the first package that he has broke records with on the dyno and I know I wont be the last.
