Not to get off track but Weistec Blower plus nitrous 155mph? slap some nitrous on the 65 Grip and see what happens at the half mile 
I bet you would be at 160mph+ sitting the way you are on the trigger.

Read post #211 below. This is where he mentions hitting 155mph on Sunday (direct quote below).

why does he mention the 5k + DA as a handicap or at all? When using nitrous it totally negates DA hence his excellent low iat's he posted.. Though the DA certainly effected everyone else who didn't use Nitrous..

This is his direct post on how he further cooled his rig off w/bags of ice etc etc.. You didn't even use a fan right? Then in his Nitrous run note how his iat's barely go 20-27 deg above ambient at the end of his run.. Your IAT's at end of your run hit 187 right? IE DA in a bottle..
I know exactly how my intake temps are in certain situations bro. . Ambient this past Friday was 90*.
Now at the track, I iced that car down with three bags on my one run, and got the temps to 70*. Ambient that day was again 90* and humid. At the end of the 1/2 mile run I was at 118* with iced water and meth.
This is the best right here lol, I sat in line for 1 full hour stop and go. This time I was heating up my bottle the entire time to get it to 1000psi. I started that run at 110*, and at the end of the 1/2 mile, I ended at 117* lol. That is with a 30\16 jet combination and it felt amazing above 6000rpms.

So he's saying 152 w/out Nitrous? & then sprays a 50 shot which from reading other more knowledgeable nitrous athorities info in e55 section they state a 50 shot is = to 75 whp, yet he only gains 3 mph why does he mention the 5k + DA as a handicap or at all? When using nitrous it totally negates DA hence his excellent low iat's he posted.. Though the DA certainly effected everyone else who didn't use Nitrous..
Lastly that still shot/pic of you 2 racing showed you in the lead for most if not the entire race the winner of launch wouldn't ruin the e55's chance thru entire 1/2 mi run, ie point of a longer 1/2 mi vs reg 1/4 mi race. The e55 simply needs much more tuning/tweaking as even your 65 should've run a bit faster

My IAT's on the run against Craig hit 165F I believe. I'm sure Craig will get his setup fine-tuned for the Ocala event and hit 165+, especially since it's at sea level and the air will be cool and dense.
As for DA in a bottle, from my personal experience with nitrous it honestly just isn't the case. At least it wasn't the case with the small shots I was running (125 and under).
From what I've seen, lets say a 75 shot is good for 5 tenths. That 1/2 second will be trimmed off your current ET in current conditions (illustrated below).
Run at sea level DA:
- non nitrous run: 11.7
- 75 shot of nitrous: 11.2
Run at 5K level DA with the exact same mods as the sea level DA run above:
- non nitrous run: 12.7
- 75 shot of nitrous: 12.2 (not a 11.2 since the DA is still 5K feet)
If I decide to run next year, hopefully a tune for VP 109 along with downpipes and hyper inflated front tires will get me a 155.
And I just want to add, I went to have a good time with family and friends and that's exactly what I accomplished. I'm not looking to set any records other than improving each year. My first year at Clayton I ran 135mph. The second year was 144mph. This year 150mph. Next year I'd like to run 155mph, but a safe 151 without hurting the car, myself, or anyone else will be a success as well.

kool info on nitrous results thnx for clarifying.. Tho its def da in a bottle it dramatically reduces iat's and adds ability for much more timing when properly optimized etc etc vs No sauce..

The data log is unclear, but the IAT actually peaked at 163F.
By the way, if memory serves, I believe my IAT's on the Crossfire actually increased when I used nitrous. I know that sounds crazy, but I'll try to dig up some data logs tonight to show it. I know my boost increased on it. Also, typically you have to retard the timing whenever you run more than a 50 shot.

Lol shows how much I know about nitrous.. Just equals a huge perf increase while using it, I'll leave it at that..
Edit: I was going by Craiges info of using ONLY a 50 shot..

I think I recall reading where he said it lowers his IAT's also, but I generally just let things like that go unless it comes up in a coversation I'm having. I think most people just expect the temps to drop, which makes perfect sense to me. I'm at a loss as to why the temps increased, but that's what the logs showed for me. Maybe it differs for other setups.
It was also interesting that my boost pressure measured at the plenums would increase a little when running it, but that can be explained away.

haters crazy
Keep in mind that Craig wasn't running the smaller pulley I sent him. He was running the one that comes with the kit and he was making about 13PSI only. Maybe I will run my car in a half mile event if one ever comes around here. I'm pretty confident it would be at least in the 160's. Car trapped 138.7 prior to the build in the 1/4 (no nitrous)

Here's two more videos of my races a friend (John) took at the event. The first one is me running the Mustang Cobra and the other is of Craig and I launching (more like spinning). On that run I had to stay toward the center of the runway to keep from hitting a bad dip.

That's pretty impressive to see your car out perform many of the cars listed with more power. It makes you wonder how many just guestimate and provide BS numbers. I think the main thing is most other platforms have more of a peak power and torque that is not maintained throughout the rpm band like our cars. As always, the total power is what is under the curve that is not shown in a peak number. Also, I'd bet our cars are making more torque than some of the cars listed with more horsepower which certainly helps. Anyway you cut it, your car out performed many of the so called "fast cars." Nice!

Damn... What's really impressive on that list is what appears to be (2) v8 BITURBO E63's (most likely tune ONLY on 2014 they listed 600 whp) ran BEST of nearly 150 mph & 154.53 mph on 2012 possibly? Added cooling/ down pipes/no cats? race gas tune etc? Those cars w/latest Turbo upgrades will prolly trap 160+ mph in the 1/2 mile

My other fav's 2013 F458 runs Best 146.00 mph w/giaint boat 2014 Mercedes S63 Biturbo hot on it's heals barely 1.31 mph behind at 144.69 mph... Sorry if I had the F458 & saw that I'd want my $$ back (I don't care how purdy it is lol)
The guy w/supposed 1200 whp Viper needs his $$ back big time, he trapped from 123-138 mph! Ouch..

There were a few cars that made us all scratch our heads due to their lackluster performance.
On both my runs I was so focused on out ET'ing my opponent (being first across the line) that I left traction control on and feathered the throttle to prevent spin. Just now it hit me how dumb that was. If I'd used dyno mode with traction control off, flooring it off the line, I would have spun the tires forever. That would have increased my trap speed by a few MPH. Next year I'll be spinning halfway down the track FTW!
One thing that also surprised me was that they listed my car as 610 WHP. I'm wondering if WannaGoFast or myself made a typo on my car's stats, since at the time I sent in my specs I was at 509 WHP. FWIW, my last dyno before the event was 558 WHP.

funnier still, they listed a few e55's that day, Chris Copelands 2006 e55 w/700 WHP.. That only trapped 152? That's not Craiges e55 right? Damn... Your traps wouda easily been 2-3 mph faster that day argh!

No, Craig's car was 93 on the list (car number 160) and Jason Cummings (owner of BIP) was listed as the driver. That other E55 that's 127 on the list (car number 166) was the other Weistec car I believe. It hit 151 MPH.

http://blog.caranddriver.com/commenc...uote:Chevrolet claims the Z06 sprinted through the benchmark 0-to-60-mph measure in just 2.95 seconds and that it annihilated the quarter-mile in an equally impressive 10.95 at 127 mph. The best numbers were obtained using Z06 coupes equipped with the new eight-speed automatic transmission and the Z07 performance package, which adds Brembo carbon-ceramic brake rotors,*Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and the most spoilertastic and downforce-enabling aero bits available on the Z06.
