Thanks man,

Everytime I see your car I look at it like its the first time seeing it, it looks great and done just right. Too bad its not on the street but soon it will be.

Thank You. I appreciate that very much.
I was not sure about the all black look either but when its done right it does look good, and I'm glad I did it.

You got to do the headlights, I get complements on those everywhere. Carbon fiber lip is sure nice too and changes up the front end a bit.

Car has been gone over a bit and feels way stronger now, was running a bit fat. I will be going to track in the next few days and have an update on how it did this time around. Hopefully Monday

Boost Leak with a boost leak and running really rich I guess my 11.5 pass was not that bad.

I will be back at the track shortly. Kind of got busy with all the wedding stuff I have going on.

After some time car finally went on the dyno today. We had a few hick ups with loosing boost but it was just a little leak and now car seems strong.

Car at Speedriven :) More mods for the season-img_2855_zps51390426.jpg

The number are from a Mustang Dyno, which is a low reading dyno. A lot of guys have dyno numbers off a dynojet which is about 10% higher than the Mustang. Car was with 100 oct and 2 runs were done with meth and 2 without.

1st run was with windshield solvent spraying (in case you did not know the windshield solvent does have methanol) this run was done in 3rd gear.

625RWTQ
533RWHP

2nd run was with the meth system turned off this was done also in 3rd gear

641RWTQ
528RWHP

3rd run was done in 4th gear with the meth system turned on

756RWTQ
527RWHP

Car was getting Hot after the runs I think a little bit more of tweaking needs to be done and a dyno tune to come shortly and this car will make some serious power just the way it sits. I'm happy how the numbers are now since they are on a low reading dyno and TQ in 4th gear pull is very amazing on a dyno jet it would be around 830RWTQ range.

Here are the pics of the graphs for you guys to look over

Kamil,

Great to see the car coming along! A couple of question to you re your meth setup:

- Do you advance the timing or is meth purely a cooling agent?

- What meth system do you use?

Thanks.

Where did you get the seat brackets/sliders and do they make them for the SL?

Meth is purely used as a cooling agent

I have the Speedriven Meth Kit dual nozzles spraying into both intakes

The custom brackets are made by Speedriven and yes they can make them for the SL since they do have SLs in the shop that they can fit them to.

Glad to see the problem was found, now lets see those numbers hit the ground at the track. Looking at your torque curve you should see why launching close to 2500 RPMs will get your 60 ft down. Good luck and enjoy!!!

Weak springs on wastegates didn't hold boost

If you are only spraying Meth for cooling, why not just spray water? On my 996 turbo, I sprayed 100% Meth for cooling AND octane and picked up almost 80whp.

I would have to tune for meth if I did 100% meth. Im running windshield washer solvent for now. Somehow I made less power with it spraying so looks like dyno tuning will have to be set up.

Gotcha..and yes, definitely need some tuning with meth...I seem to recall 100% meth adds about a point of A/F ( to the rich side). Worth the retune, if you have that luxury...

If your going for records thn u gotta tune I just got to get busy Speedriven guys to apend some time on dyno getting this thing dialed in. I'm happy with numbers already but I bet she has more in there to give. Next stop 1/4 mile

10 MPH increase in trap speed with an ECU tune is wicked!
