on the opposite end of the spectrum, i know someone who is only able to run 9* at peak and 18* at redline with a 2.5L 18g setup running 20psi. with boost at 17psi and timing a couple degrees higher, the power was actually slightly lower, and the car would knock with even the slightest bit of heatsoak so...sometimes cars just don't like timing and sometimes they do. thats the beauty of e85. it allows the tuner to actually hit MBT. its pretty blatant when the car hits it because you go from making like 10ftlbs from every degree to only making like 2ftlbs with every degree.
Its suppose to be 81* F next week for a few days, so I am going to play with a little more timing and see what results I get. I need to break 500whp VD dynojet consistently to be happy with my setup.

I am a fan of the tuning theory that just got thrown around in here, but I need to weigh in on this.

Dyno numbers are arbitrary and obviously weather dependent. Everyone's measuring stick is different, but for goodness sake, shoot for a trap speed or ET in something, be it a 0-60 (I rather have to fight traction issues there, but that is me), this 50-100 time, or get into the 60-130 game.

trust me...juan and i are both VERY on board with the 50-100 time and the trap speed measurements. juan and i have compared numbers enough and talked tuning enough to be able to compare our graphs and things. you are right though, anybody who is looking at dyno numbers should take them with a grain of salt and use them as more of a ballpark figure than an exact number.

Well, if anybody's interested, I looked at my video and my 60-90 was 3 seconds flat. It seems a lot of the videos have an uninterrupted 60-90 section without shifts, if I recall correctly.

mine looks really close...mine looks to be about 2.5-3 sec for me to go approx 60-100mph...really hard to tell on this computer, and my shift to 3rd only dropped me to about 61-63mph so...not exactly starting at 60mph...but close.

i can check on an actual video editing software once i get on my personal computer later tomorrow.

I think the smaller the window you look at, the less useful the metric becomes. It ends up being even more gearing and powerband dependent, it makes it impossible to compare against other cars, etc. I think 60-130 is probably the best benchmark, but 50-100 is decent and easier to obtain in a slow car.

Now we see the 340 vs 500whp difference!

i agree completely. take dave's and my 60-100mph times for example. in 3 seconds, my vehicle covered 10-15mph more (i shift to 4th at about 103-105mph and the shift happens right after the 3sec mark), but what you have to consider is not only am i accelerating that 10-15mph more in the same amount of time, my power is having to overcome alot more gearing than his car is so...with the same gearing, the acceleration gap between our two cars would have been even more highlighted.

And a confirmation of that: checked my 60-100 same video, about 4.3 seconds. So again, the hp ratios match in this situation.

Wow. Looks like about 4.3 seconds. My build is similar, just a much smaller turbo. Can't wait to put on a bigger one -- just have to finish saving for a better tranny. Nice shifting, too.

Why is it so hard to tape a cell phone to the speedo console or steering wheel?

So you when from a VF39 to a HTA86? nice!

i agree...i love making big jumps like that. on my bugeye i went from stage 2 stock 2.0L and transmission to a FPRed E85 built 2.5L with ppg's i was literally scared to go WOT in 1st for a little while

Fuji just wedges his phone behind the steering wheel and then does 9 a second run! His videos are some of the best quality ones that have been posted.

No sir, I went from making big power on the vf39 (for 3 weeks LOL) to a HTA green to this. So it was a pretty steady jump the whole time
I actually just went to make a video again on the way home from the gym that was super steady..but I was a noob and missed 4th

Unless you're using a more precise log with correctly calibrated speed, this list seems a bit silly.

A small error in measurement makes a big difference when you're talking about only 4 or 5 seconds.

A 50-100mph run in 5 seconds could very easily have been be a 52.5-105mph run if you're speed is 5% off. So an actual 50-100 would have been around 4.75 seconds.

Combine that error with a small error measuring the time and you're 5 second time could be a lot closer to 4.5 seconds......or 5.5 seconds if you error in the other direction.

Hey, I'm the math teacher here. But you get an "A" for the day.

(But a good case in point. The error would be even greater 60-130mph. That's why I'm still a fan of a single-gear pull in a smaller range, say 60-90).

No, a longer pull would be better. The measurement error should be fixed (ie. +/-0.1seconds). The longer the pull takes, the less significant (percentage wise) the error becomes.

I think we all know this isn't perfect. It's still interesting, IMO. It is easier to get than a1/4 mile time. It is more useful (for comparing speed) than a road dyno (or even a real dyno).

i think that if you try and make this comparison too scientific, you will not only make it completely unable to be performed by the average person, but you will also completely remove most of the fun involved. i am all for making things accurate, but i think we are all fairly aware of inaccuracies in speedometers, human errors in calculating times, etc. i mean, i don't think any of us are arguing our position on the list or going at this with a competitive mindset.

if someone feels that the possibility of inaccuracies pollute the results, they are more than welcome to move on and not participate. for those willing to overlook or accept the possibility for inaccuracies, we will gladly welcome your entry to the list.

You're right, the relative error would be less between cars, especially as the times to reach 130 would have very significant differences, much more so than the possible error. I thought about that after I posted, and wondered if anybody would catch it before I could fix it.

Nobody escapes from their mistakes on NASIOC!

Here's a video I made for fun with my new gears. Thought it might be interesting for some.


In this video I'm only shifting at 6.5k instead of 7k in my other video. In-gear acceleration is just as fast (as expected, nearly identical ratio's), but the extra shift to get to 100mph ends up slowing the time down by about 1/3 of a second.

Yes, but now it's 1/4 mile time!

It is a little cooler here today and I did a couple of runs. I think I beat my best time in both runs . In my second run I started on second but It knocked after shifting (no flat food shifting) it pulled a little bit of timing on third (1.5*). I was also running 11.2-11.4 AFR uptop, it is around 75* F with 60% humidity. On the first run VD says I am making 470whp Dynojet and Airboy says 440whp..
