Took the TVS Redline to the track - 13.11@110

first track night of the season and they shut us down at 930pm due to moisture on the track and the Outlaws skating all over the place.

I am currently running the 3.1 pulley on a 'safe' tune, meaning that I am opening the boost bypass at ~220kpa (17-18psi boost) to keep the 60lb injectors happy at ~76%-~78% duty cycle.

run1: 13.267@108.85, 2.0
run2: 13.215@109.78, 2.0
run3: 13.286@109.17, 1.9
run4: 13.116@110.03, 2.0
run5: 13.353@109.78, 1.9

still running the stock clutch and axles,
so not too bad for the first night out in 6 months, yeah I definitely felt a bit rusty, but still managed a hair better than my best time with the M62 w/2.7 (13.146@105)

I like how the trap speed is noticeably higher with the slicks on, that's almost a 5mph improvement right there as compared to my best slick trap with the M62 (105.8).
Even exceeds my best street tire trap with the M62 (107.74).

I also liked the consistency of the runs, it kinda felt like this setup with the TVS was sorta helping me out a bit, because even though I felt like I botched up a couple of the launches and shifts, the run still went well.

oh, and I also want to mention for comparison purposes that the 3.1 TVS runs were using my street tune with pump gas and the meth injection.

Whereas, the ol 2.7 M62 runs were using a tricked out track-only tune, race gas, and meth injection.

Other than the injectors, what modifications to the fuel system are you running?

Ok, I admit that I had to google the conversion because I wasn't sure I had it right.

Are you pushing over 30psi?

haha! hell no!
try 17-18psi of boost.

(subtract 100kpa from the map reading, then do your conversion)

I've taken the map up to 260kpa during my tests with the 3.1 pulley, but that put the injectors at 98% duty cycle, made me a bit uncomfortable....

So you ran the same time with better trap? but this time you had on slicks so , do you think the slicks are the cause of the higher trap or is it the tvs

no - I pretty much always use slicks, it's rare that I don't.

comparing slicks-to-slicks:
- same e.t.
- tvs had higher trap

Nice numbers BD, get the rust of those joints and break out of the 13's! We all know it is going to happen.
