we took the Capri out again to Friday night, same tune as last time and on the E85 bowser fuel. we didn't get a chance to do the new tune on the good stuff.

it was a nice night for racing. however, we only got 3 passes, there was alot of cleanups. the funny cars, Top Fuellers etc slowed things down a but. we think we have found the limit of the pump E85 on 30psi, we were going to put another 3psi in but we didn't get another run. we are extrmemely happy with the little girl, alot of people criticise turbo's for not being consistent all 3 passes were within 5/100ths of a second, the first pass being the slowest as it was about 10 degrees warmer. ran a 8.42@164, then a 8.378@164 and a 8.370@164. we had alot of people coming up asking about the car, most called it the sleeper of the night, noone assumed it would run anywhere near what it does. which is what we like we got a few shakes of the head with people wondering how it all fit under the bonnet

we were hoping to go a smidge faster, but the 60's just weren't there, i put the boost up for the launches about 2psi, but, the fuel lacks the punch of the Race E85 we used to use and because of the lower torque output we can't get the 60's which is critical for the car as it doesn't have the top end charge like the big HP turbo cars. last Full Throttle Friday we were 60'in 1.36, we did a little better today with a 1.35 and 2 x 1.34's.

we seem to have got the tune for getting the car on boost pretty good. we had slight issues getting the car on the 2-step before, we leave on 5500rpm and 16psi. it's a big ask for a little 4L to get 124mm's of turbo spooling. but, we have it pretty much spot on now which is a big weight off the shoulders. no point having a race car if u can't cut a good light.
