Ebay GT45 + 5.9 Magnum + E85 blow thru
Apologies for boring you guys with these details, but I got get them down for my personal record before I forget.
So, I only made one pass last night after driving the car to the track in traffic for an hour. Got there, went through inspection, popped the hood to let the engine cool a little and drop the tire pressure on the drag radials when the call went up for the "hot cars" (real cars, not ricers and pick-ups) to go to the staging lanes. They let us old hot rodders cut in line. So, didn't get a chance to really let the engine cool down but it did settle to about 192 before I ran. Overall the run felt good. Decent burnout, launched off the two step with about 4psi of boost, peddled it a little off the line to try and keep it stable and not break the tires loose. Run felt strong. I'm a little leery of my lean AFRs under boost and the water/meth doesn't seem to offer any appreciable decrease in air intake temp. On top of that the engine died at the end of the run and felt like **** on the way back home, like it had a terrible miss or dead cylinder. That's why I didn't make any more passes.
