I tried to watch the vids on nyce1 website but I guess you gotta be a member cause I kept going around in circles(should have signed up).

I hope its not a blown engine but if it is cant wait to see the next one...

I have nothing to complain about. I think the motor was tired being in there since July with 40+lbs of boost goin through it. That will take its toll on any motor. So off to the mad scientist so he can put me back togeather again. Won't be long.

Here's the timeslip - 114 MPH on the 1/8 mile! That mph is good for a mid sec pass.

2.298 60'

5.634 330'

7.932 1/8

114.230 MPH

9.884 1000'

11.511 1/4

132.62 MPH

BTW, bet you can't guess where I got the slip results lol.

Anthony

congrats on great numbers.

I have question about straight water injection compare to methanol+water. Do you think car needs to be tuned if you are going from methanol+water(50/50mix) to straight water injection? I am thinking about going with straight water injection and wanted to ask. Should I just inject more water?

Your tune will be way off. It will run pig rich. You will need to re-tune the car.

If your tuned for 50/50, you'll be running leaner with all water. My mistake, either way you'll need to re-tune.
