Great weekend for rain. Both the sat and sun events got rained out but I did manage to get a few runs in before the rain started. I did another tuning session this week and tried a few tweaks which seem to have worked. Dropped my best et by .14 and mph increased almost 2 mph. Best time is now 12.346 @ 112.99 mph.

Haven't had much of a chance lately to do much tweaking but I did manage to find some time last week and also installed a new set of slicks as well. There may be a bit more there, I am going to put some more time into it in the fall when the racing is done. Planning on hitting it up with at least a 200 shot as well. Its probably time for a fresh engine after 2 years of hard racing on this one, so I will probably do that in the spring. The auto trans is still working great so it will stay unless the nitrous takes it out.

 

Holy **** Batman, I'll wait for these nitrous passes with me eye's glue to the screen

well guys this fall we'll have a new fastest maxmia and it will not have a turbo or a clutch

 

Yeah - look out, Jime is back........ Jime, whatcha doing for slicks???

 

wow, thats impressive! was hoping you would crack the 11's but i'm sure you will sooner or later.

i'm planning on going to the strip this wends for the first time so i'm very excited to see what i'll run

 

dddaaang!!!

that's very freakin impressive!! have any video of it?? forgive me...but this has the variable valve timing correct?

i can't wait to see what 200 shot will do

 

thats really impresive

 

Free fix...



Congrats Jime.

 

quickest and fastest, I think he'll have the lowest et and highest trap

when I spray a 100shot I gained about 10mph and he's going to do a 200shot

 

 

Nice! Way to keep putting up killer numbers jim.

 

M&H 23x7.5-15's

Yes VVT and its being controlled by V-Manage.

Not sure about the highest trap, nitrous doesn't seem to increase my traps as much as lower the ET's. Turbos are best for high traps. I do think it will probably hit 120.

I don't have any video of this run but I will definitely have some when I run the 200 shot. Plus I will run my lightweight tires, remove rear seats, lightweight battery and have a crap before the run etc.

Every time I race this car love the VQ more, its unbelievable in performance and consistency. Last weekend I ran 4 consecutive runs within 4/1000's, but that is due mainly to the UTEC.

 

Awesome times as usual

 

Very very nice times Sir.

 

Funny you never showed me this slip when you stopped in. I just saw that "other" slip.

 

Jim - one expression -

 

Impressing us all as usual, Jim. Can't wait for the nitrous time slips

 

congratz jime! you always impress me!

 

jime very impressive!!

i was looking through some of your old threads....but i was wondering are there aftermarket cams in this motor or do you have a link i can see what you've done with mods and such?? you should be making pretty darn close to 300 whp right? have you ever dynoed it?

 

very nice run, NA vq's are great

 

Never a dull moment , congrats Jime your are the MAN !

 

Congrats on the awesome times! Really show what NA VQ's can do!! Cant wait to see what you can pull with a 200 shot!!! Best of luck Jim!

 

Check my homepage for current mods. I dynoed a couple of years ago with the A32 ECU and E-Manage, it was around 260 HP then. I know its higher now but not sure what it is. I am not much of a believer in the dyno for tuning I prefer to do it on the road. Real world performance is much different than dyno numbers. The main reason I went was to compare Sunoco 94 and 116 unleaded. I didn't make anymore HP with the race gas and advanced timing so I just use the 94. When I juice it i will use a blend of 94 and 110 unleaded.

 

Any pics of Motordyne 5/16" spacer and MREV2 manifold installed ?

 

 

Not really i don't think the 200 shot will make him that much faster. When you run these times its much harder to knock time off, then it is from lets say 15s to 14s... I think he would run 11.7 with 200shot.

Nice times keep it up.

 

Truly amazing man, like everyone else, cant wait to see that 200shot. Most amazing part is how the auto is taking it.

 

You guys still get 94 up there? You suck Our Sunocos here got rid of it so we're back to only having 93.

While your statement is true, you're not being very realistic. Yes, the faster you go the harder it is to go even faster but this is a 200 (WHP, not BHP) increase we're talking about here, with typically an equal bump in torque. That is nothing to scoff at. It's a 200 shot, not a 50 shot. He's also not exactly shooting for single digit times.

 

believe me a 200shot will knock off more than a 5-6tenths, I know it gets harder the faster you are but like stated above this is a 200shot and jime. I am basing this off something I read online or heard thru the grapewine, I have a 12sec truck with a 150shot

 

Crap forgot your a32 without DBW

 

He has DBW.

 

That is not an a32 just the cover from one.

 

wow nice numbers

 

great times as usual! How much does your car weigh these days?

 

Hmm i c. That makes a lot of sense.. I wonder how that auto tranny will like an extra 200Whp... weil just have to see. It would be cool if it ran like an 11 flat.

 

oh sh!!t ... I thought it was a DE-K...

 

The auto should hold up to the punishment for what he's using it for. He's also very careful in how he uses it. It should do fine

 

You just couldn't let it be. I wasn't going to show that one until I was ready to hit it with the 200 shot. This run is with a 50 shot untuned with stock gapped plugs. I ran this fri night and just tried it once because of the tune.

I think the 200 will be a bit quicker than 11.7.

2750 last weekend.

PS Jim Jr. was back in the hospital last thur for another bout of surgery on his leg from the bike accident almost 3 years ago. Infection again so he is on a PIC line again for another 6 weeks.

 

OH ****! Your holding back on us Jime? 11.8 sprayed 3.5 auto makes me cry!!

 

 

Jime are you running a cutout?
