MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
We were the quickest pass of the day (with the exception of a rail car) even with all that stiff competition and having to get out of it around the 1000' mark ;) The track was in less than favorable condition as can be seen by our first few runs. Did I mention we drove this car to and from Turbotrix the day before?
60' ~ 1.34 1/8 ~ 5.60 @ 126 1/4 ~ 8.81 @ 138 |

Awesome

Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Lookin' good!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
What kind of 60' was it pulling? Did you run in the Quick 16?
What did Kiggly run? |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
I am pretty sure the 60' was a 1.3x on the 8sec pass.
Kiggly ran an 8.9x. Everyone said the track was complete horse shit and that nothing was hooking worth a damn. |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Good job, but is the car down on power a bit? Even if you let of at the last second I would have thought you would have trapped a bit higher than 138. Looks to me like the 60' had to be in the 1.3/1.4 range. Great job though, the car seemed to hooked and stay straight for most of the run.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
You can lose a lot of mph quick when you let off though. ET might not change much when do let off at the top on the track, but mph can go down a lot.
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Yeah I guess, but when you did it you let off like 3/4 track or sooner, I might be missing something but it looks like he let off like 50ft before the traps. Wait now it looks like he might have hit the breaks a bit too, hard to tell.

60' 1.34
1/8th 5.60 @ 126 We didn't run in the Q16 as we wouldn't have been competitve with reaction time as a factor, as you can see it takes a few seconds to get on the converter. In regards to power we turned it back to 40psi (~850whp) based on the traction issues, but the trap speed in the 1/4 was definitely affected when I got out of it top end. Apparently mph is determined between the 1000' and 1/4 mile markers. I hate to bench race but I think it has a sub 8.50 @ 160ish in it even at it's current power level... |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Do you use a trans brake, or is there anything you could do to "get on the converter" sooner?
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Very impressive! Awesome work guys!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
very nice!!!!!!!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
We use a trans brake and nitrous currently, we do have an option called a VSC or variable stall controller that "loosens" the converter under launch conditions but we have a lot more testing and suspension tuning to do before we start to think about heads up competition.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Cool. Good luck with setting it up.
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Awesome, congrats!!! I assume that means you have a working alternator now? :)
|

nice run, and time.
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
awesome run! scarry though, it seemed like the car was going off a bit towards the 1000 mark. FDSM sounds amazing though :D
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Nice run guys!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
I can't remember, but is this back-halved?
Very good run guys! What's next on this beast? Tell me you want to have the fastest and quickest 4g63 powered vehicle! |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Crazy fastness!!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Nice run guys!! Can't wait to see it at the Cookout on Sunday. Fun, fun!
later, Curt |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Another dumb question, is this still that 2.0 junkyard motor?
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Alternator: Working great :)
Back Halved: Yes indeed. Engine: MAP 2.4L with Stage 5 MAP Cylinder Head We made 923whp before we left at ~44psi, but again we had to back it down to about 40psi in an attempt to preserve traction. Obviously we still failed at that lol. In regards to what's next, let's just say we're going to give everything we have to join a very exclusive group of people that have managed to get a 4g6X into the 7 second territory ;) |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
In car video added :)
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Nice! I didnt know you guys ran a AOD in there.. lol.
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Holy crap the in-car vid is intense!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Edited again with some pre-game video and some of the earlier runs ;) Did we mention this is a street car? lol
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
street car my ass! lol
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Drove to and from Turbotrix over 5 miles and ran an 8 second pass the next day ;)
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
lol, yea yea, "street" car/DD status right there! Congrates though on the pass!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
LOL I wouldn't go so far as to call it a street car... ;)
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Ok ok so its not a daily driver, but honestly if we put some different wheels and tires on there and a full exhaust it would be truly street legal. The three speed auto actually makes it very easy to drive on the street!
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Sounds like you should take it on the fall cruise then :D
|
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Do I see another call-out thread coming perhaps? Haha.
Congrats on the pass. |
Re: MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown!
Wow, that's really movin' for getting out of it that early.

Hopefully we will get back out to the track soon and see what we can do with a full pass :)
