Got back from Houston last night after having silverbullet do my E85 tune. We did all tuning in like 200% humidity 3 people in the car and 103* temps and some tuning when it cooled down to like 98 with about 175% humidity lol.

Well i was solo in the car when i finally got back to Austin with temps at 85* early this morning and decided to give it some gas. Tires absolutely have no chance anywhere in 3rd to about 110mph....

2nd gear actually spins so fast that my tach will show 5900-6100 rpms and its actually already at the rev limiter(7400).


So now the choice is some real tire under the car or just supra roll this ****... choices, choices!

Thanks silverbullet.... tune is spot on and the car drove home like a dream. I even put about 20 cars on a Scion TC with a quick 3rd gear pull. He didnt know what was about to happen.

 

anyways, whats supra roll??

 

He means high mph rolls where Toyota Supras play.


Ford, you running straight E85 with the cams?

 

ohhh ok ok.

 

Heat and humidity suck. Good for traction tho. Lol.

And please, that scion was playing with u.

 

Yes sir. gonna need a 5th injector soon.


Guess not all the younger crowd know what supra rolls are.

 

is your tuners name taylor by any chance?

 

i think what he means by supra rolls is how once they hit boost they are just spinnning and hitting fuel cutoff like a boss... no other car does this as elegantly as a supra

mmmm... supra..

 

Yep.

 

cool.Thats my tuner also

 

Supras are so pretty

 

Was expecting roll races against Supra...

 

Ya me 2 lol

 

get better tires. i hooked 3rd gear just fine at 600hp. hell even with the power now coming in sooner and more aggressively i still hook up.

 

Something like this, I wouldnt give the credit to a supra tho lol.

2009 Cobalt SS Roll on Burnout - YouTube

 

ahhh ok haha. nice lol. i need better tires too, even though im not even close to you guys.

 

those are 235 NT05's as well. Just does not hook. Even on 75-80 degree days like that one.

 

yea but ur pushing some serious power lol. i wouldnt expect too many tires to hook on a 50 roll with your set up

 

He told me he had 255's... time to put some meat on there.

 

whoohoo! i need all season tires now :P those have enough meat?

btw ford post a vid!

vids or the scion actually beat you!

 

Actually i did take a video with the gopro, i havent watched it to see if i caught anything as i was just holding it with one hand. Guy was hauling ass and i turned it off because he was exiting when i caught him then when i got next to him he stayed on a gave it some gas. I waited to hear his car accelerate and then gave it some gas. Hopefully i caught the flyby like 10 seconds later as well.

Yup, i had some traction in houston with extra weight in the car but when it hit cooler air.... Nope.

Still not the same as a manual boost controlled car though. But while i have new tires in a 255 i still need something a bit stickier. I also have the worst springs in the world for weight transfer as the rear is too soft.

 

No problem man, Car ran strong last night. Hope that tranny holds up! lol Too bad your tune wasnt a week later.. Today I discovered how to do adjustable launch control with hptuners on a LNF lol. Im going to post up a video later of it.

 

Lovin that video Cmiller lol.

 

I think swapping these springs out will help a lot. Last night with Daniels fat ass in the back it takes the suspension travel out, but you felt how soft the springs are it is definitely letting too much weight transfer to the back.

 

What tires are you using to hook? I'm up here at ZZP and Tim told me Nitto Invos seem to hook well on the street. Btw I'm still not sure they realize I have your side exit, lol.
