New best Sunday thanks to the MP!

[Dr. Matt]

Finally got out to the track for the first time this year. Temps were in the 50's and this was the first runs since switching from shorty headers to long tubes and a ported Eaton with stock upper to the MP with a 2.7. Tweaked the tune each pass and got better every time. Started at 11.82 and ended at.....you'll have to watch the video below.

There's more in it I'm sure since my IAT2's hit 158 on the shift into 3rd so it was pulling timing before it was out of second gear. As you can see from the timeslip below it ran 7.33 @ 95 in the 1/8th and only picked up 19 MPH on the big end. Not too bad of a 60' either but I think the Lakewoods and stock shocks have 1.5x's in them yet.

So what's the plan for the iat2s to drop? Do you have an ice box / was it iced?

 

[Dr. Matt]

No ice box yet. Always did fine with just the AFCO & fans before. Time to do some research on aftermarket resiviors.

What was the previous times and power too?

 

[TXSVT1]

nice times bud. Is that on a stock block? converter?

 

[Dr. Matt]

Previous best was an 11.98 on an Eaton but tune was forcing it to shift at 4900 so I'm sure it had at least an 11.8 in it then.

Built motor stage 3 heads, stage 2 cams, LFP 2400 RPM converter.

I think 11.3's are possible with nothing more than shorter tires and keeping IAT2's down. I think I can shave off more too since this was a really conservative tune as far as timing. May just have to see if I can push it into the 10's on the little MP.

And this is a full weigh truck other than the spare tire and I pulled the tailgate for the 11.52 pass. I still have my hitch and trailer brake controller since I still haul and tow with this truck.

Man I love these Lightnings.

Impressive to say the least! Keep us posted when you run again!

The MP can get you to the 10s. It takes a lot of work, but I have done it, Fast Gator has too, and The Fridge as well.

[NoAllies]

Congrats, Matt! I wish I could have been in town to come out there and watch it! I think I finally make it back into town next week. I'll try to hit you up then.

 

[Zak Attack]

Congrats on the good time....must be getting some good air up there.

 

[LTNBOLT]

Congrats!

What size lower pulley are you running with that setup and how much boost is it making?

 

[INFAMOU$]

I want an MP... so when you decide to go Whipple.. let me know

 

[wigginwilly00]

Hell yeah.. Congrats on a great time...:beer:

 

[Dr. Matt]

Congrats!

10# lower and at one point I saw 19#'s but I think my gauge is off a bit because with the engine off it sits at 4" of vacume. I'd say more likely 21+ puonds of boost.:thumbsup:

 

[spyder1337]

Any meth or anything or just straight 21psi?

 

[chesster51]

Are those rears 30's?

 

[kidlightning5]

Nice times dude

 

[Dr. Matt]

Any meth or anything or just straight 21psi?

No meth but running VP109 in the tank.

Are those rears 30's?

Yes 30" M&H Racemasters. They are really too big since I'm only trapping 113-115 mph, but I love how they look. I'll see how it does on 28's next time at the track.
