Wait.... Am I crazy? I swear I saw a dyno chart somewhere his first post....
We just had Jacob's 588 awhp beast fed by EPP fuel system running E/85 take a swipe at the record...11.55 just minutes ago...back seats are coming out I hear.
Not to derail your thread Mike...love you buddy, it's just getting exciting around here.

This is from the drag times thread he posted.
See I'm not crazy, my mom had me tested.

Late to the party, but I'm confused.....
Why was Jacob only able to run an 11.55 on 588awhp, but yet my car achieved an 11.54 on 63awhp less?
Strange to me.
And Rich, although my trans is fine now, ain't no running that other file until I get the trans beefed up.
Dan and I spoke at length about it, and both agreed it'd be more cost efficient to disconnect a (or my) current functioning Trans for upgrading, rather than a Trans that's been grenaded......
But with Christmas fast approaching, and 3 teen daughters in tow, ain't nothing getting done on that front, until at the very least, March of 2016.
$hit's expensive either way my friend.
BTW, I just clipped past 72k on the odometer today, and am still on the original trans & ptu..... Given all the @sshoIe driving I do, as well as tracking, that's pretty impressive in my book.

Mike got him by .05 in the 60' which would be at least .10 at the other end.
I wonder if Dan piloting Mikes SHO made the difference.

Probably, those AZ tracks are at 1500-2000' elevation, compared to 500' in Michigan.
DA is weird...once it gets so high it hurts quite a bit, but when the DA values aren't that far off it comes down to driver being able to take advantage of the conditions.
I ran 12.40 in 2300 DA....came back and ran a best of 12.41 in negative DA...weird
Difference could be the suspension, which would be a good help in the 60'.

Jacob was at around 3500ft DA which is a HUGE impact to ET here in AZ. If BPD brought his car here he's lose at least .2 and more like .3
I've seen it over and over in the past 25+ years of racing regular street cars. My old Impala SS ran mid to high 13's here, guys at Atco were running high 12's. When we met at nationals in Dallas with temps in the 100's I beat them all by .2 BUT the record stood by the timeslip not by corrected times.
EDIT - I did some research on the weather that night, looks like we were having amazing weather at 1500' DA, still around .1 to .2 difference.
Outside temps were 61, if Mike's run was colder then that impacts the IAT at the top of the run, reducing power.
If both cars were in the same location I would bet that it would be a driver's race, my money would be on Jacob's car, probably winning by .2 or so.
Remember that dynos are only really comparable when it's the same dyno and same weather.
Only way to REALLY figure out what's going on between two cars is to meet the same day at the same track and race

BTW, the fact that we have multiple mid 11 second SHO is AMAZING, two different paths but both getting there and getting it done.
Jacob is still on his stock 2014 engine and trans, just upgraded turbos, fuel system, IC, downpipes and my cutout setup which is pretty cool.
Your build is awesome as well to see the stock fuel system on meth and I'm going to assume race gas at the track making 500+WHP is awesome as well.
Until somebody builds a big single though I don't think we'll see any 10's at this power level but I could be wrong.
