Congrats on the fastest e55!

I'm already figuring out ideas on keeping her cool. I'm going to take the seats out and see where I can cut weight and try some cooling ideas. Hopefully we will get some Cooler weather and I can do some test runs at my local 1/8 mile track.

I wonder how effective spraying nitrous directly on the h/e, during your run would be.

Hmmmmmm

Can't nitrous be pumped through pipes or something to cool intake temperatures? Maybe like a top mount intercooler with pipes which nitrous goes through. I know this might sounds like rubbish and not make sense but just throwing an idea.

It wouldnt help my setup. I go straight from the trunk tank to the intercooler then to the heat exchanger and back to the tank. If I didn't have a trunk tank full of ice it would help.

Where are your jets? Pre SC, post SC, or after intercooler? I would think that you wouldnt get much cooling benefit pre SC so im guessing you have it after it.

The 1 nitrous jet is pre S/C in the y-pipe.

That doesn't work. Except for the bit of nitrous that would get into your intake lol. Air to air cars do it because you are actually cooling the charge air. Spraying on the heat exchanger for water to air setup does very little for IAT's.
You do get cooling if you spray through the charger. It actually amplifies the power gain

Gotcha, I knew it worked well on the cobra's given their blower design, didn't think it would work the same for us. Good to know since that makes the install easier.

Thought about stepping up to a full slick instead of drag radial or can the tranny not handle it?

e55amgrocket

I will switch to slicks if i have trouble getting traction with the drag radials. I haven't even played with tire pressure or anything else yet. When i say 10.51 and just getting started its the truth. I planned everything i wanted to do in December. We started actually working on the car the first week of February. Put it together and dyno'd the day before the track rental and ran a 10.76 at 4455lbs and the car wouldn't shift right. Jerry put another tune in it,shifting is fixed and changed the front tires and put a 17lb braile battery in. Its got a lot more left in it.

Steve has barely done any weight reduction and he already has the record.. Thats how you know the car is a beast..

phampau

Nice! I can't imagine your times once you get it dialed in. The only reason i was mentioning it was that I had read you were spinning down the track and figured you had played with the tire pressure. Anyhow, congrats again! I know you have much better times ahead. Paul

We will know the answer to that question this week. See my sig pic, that is a nitrous ring on my HE. I also have a 195mm like Steve, so we are going to finish tuning the car with no ice and spray, then spray the HE and see what the IATS look like.

I will have data for you guys soon.

Congrats to all involved with making this E55 the fastest in the world.

Congratulations on the record!!!

only gains your gonna see homie is from the nos hitting the intake

I did extensive testing with my c32 with that setup...
