I'm heading down one last time to get some passes in before the track closes for the year. The air will be great and hoping to better my 12.2 from my previous trip. Anyone else planning to go?

Haha.. Obviously that is the goal but if I come up short it's understandable. I know of only one guy that hit 11.9x without the aid of meth or upgraded turbos.

Do you have race gas available at the park?  Maybe that and/or E will do it ;)

Very true.

11's have proven quite elusive for the platform, since SHO's were re-introduced back in 2010.

In fact with that recent edition to the 11's club, only 6 known to date that have crossed over into that realm.

A small group for sure. Maybe you can be the 7th.

May the wind be at your back, and the track well prepped!

I think within a years time the Ecoboost platform has certainly evolved into an Ecobeast with overall better tuning capabilities in supporting E85 and racegas has proven to be sufficient in overall gains without the need for meth injection which can be some what costly,sorry for being a bit off topic.

I'll be running my e30 mix along with a can of Torco to a half tank of fuel. I plan to log this combination for Torrie before making my way to the track

I sure hope so as I said above but if it doesn't happen tonight maybe sometime next season. I'm worried about traction being an issue with the cooler temps. Hopefully with it being the last test and tune the track prep is decent

Oh I agree completely! I was strongly considering meth until all the recent problems    I began hearing about. The e30 mix has been pretty good on my car so I'll stick to it for now

Recent problems with Meth?

Hmmmm.... other than the developments with Snow Performance and their craptastic product line(s) & lack of warranty/customer support, post sale.....

What else has (allegedly) come up?

Yeah, snow performance reputation has been pretty poor lately which steered me away at the time. Also most meth kits share the same pump as snow so it's not just their company but they seem to be shady with warranty work

My car could go 11's if I start taking stuff out... I don't really consider that a daily driver once you start taking extra stuff like seats out to accomplish an 11 second pass.. I should have went to the track last night.. da was -800 with high 40's temps..
