Thats why I went with the Paxton setup. My wife drives the car as much as me so I feel a lot safer with her driving because she floors it a lot less than me.

I also agree though that I often start thinking to myself is something wrong with the car? Is it down on power? It doesnt help I had massive boost leak for a while..

Working on sorting my Paxton's setup. Made couple passes but yet to get a clean one. Initially I was running 10.90s but data logs showed false knocks and pulling a lot of timing, 9 degrees. Ran 100 in 8th and 133 in quarter

Worked on tune got the knock sorted but then kept blowing off a boost tube.
Ran 10.82, 104 in 8th but only 122 trapping because of boost tube issue..

Trying to get that 9

I went 10.2 with my Paxton setup on e85. Would have went fast if I had my suspension and etc etc. The car only 60ft a 1.61 on that pass.

Well I had to put the 7psi spring back in the wastegate before knock blows my engine up. So I took the plunge and bought the JPC E85 fuel system. Once that’s here and installed, it’s time for the corn...

What do you guys estimate an auto mustang with a 3.6 pulley and boost a pump running in the quarter mile? I don’t have a torque converter and have stock suspension and 19 inch nittos so I will probably only cut a 1.9 60ft

Gruca, where did you buy the JPC E85 system and are you installing yourself?

tgranber, I have the 3.8 pulley and boost a pump and am running 125.6 MPH best with some issues still. Should be a 128 MPH in there on a cold day at least.

The install finished last month, been testing ever since. Car went 10.2 @134 with the 3.80 pulley. Still dialing in the tune though, been having issues with the shift points. Plan on switching to 3.60 pulley, Boss manifold, Fuel system for E85. See what happens in the spring.

I got it from JPC Racing. It was $150 off, so I figured I’d go for it. Probably installing it with my fiance’s father. Heated garage with heated floors sounds better than my frozen garage floor...and he’s a machanic with the most uncanny attention to detail I’ve ever seen. It’ll get done right.

Nice! The cars are fast, but the lack of torque makes you question if it really is or not lol. I had to go to the track to make sure.

I just got the tuning on my torque booster setup finished. Now I need to get back to the track and see what happens. I tried with the 7psi spring and the car was a lot slower. Now that the 10psi is back in, I'm excited to see what happens.

Car just about dialed in, will have to wait until March for more testing.
