I finally hit 12s in the Bonneville last night at GLD. (I was up there with Panda.) Track prep was pretty good.

I got 8 runs in...6 of which were PBs from my previous (13.260 @ 104.35)

Run 3: 1/8: 8.366 @ 85.06 1/4: 13.003 @ 106.11 with a 1.9 60' :squint:
Run 6: 1/8: 8.364 @ 86.54 1/4: 12.929 @ 107.78 with a 2.0 60' (best MPH)
Run 7: 1/8: 8.316 @ 85.93 1/4: 12.910 @ 107.13 with a 2.0 60'
Run 8: 1/8: 8.179 @ 86.24 1/4: 12.759 @ 107.39 with a 1.8 60' (best 60' & ET)

That puts me squarely at the 4th fastest FWD Bonneville in the country:

I still have some tweaks to the tune. I'd love to take the 3rd spot by season's end.

You shouldn't need a pump, it technically should keep up. As for your trans... with the E85 and 17-18psi it's going to be pretty pissed :rofl:

technically don't mean shit, his pump is crying in a corner right now, definitely not keeping up.

Congrats bigtime Tommy, it's been awhile and I've been out of the loop, care to share some details on the setup?

Sure....VS, GenV, TripleEdgePerformance P&P L32 heads and LIM, Stage II IC, 77mm N*/LQ4, 55# injectors, standard TOGS, 3" custom exhaust, 104s @.54, 4" FWI. The trans is a Dave Norris unit with 3.29s, upgraded TQ w/stock stall and ZZP hardparts.

I ran E85 with 19* of timing and 13-14psi with a 2.8. AFR was 11.8 (gas equivalent). I was getting some slight, steady KR <1* from 4600 - 4900 so I was trying to figure that out. I ran out of time to do any other tweaks. I did remove the spare and 60% full tank (I was afraid to run out of e85 from IL to WI.:hs:)

Unfortunately, the last 3 runs (successively better) were essentially hot laps and then the lanes closed. It was good enough for the night. I hope to hit another PB at the TCG track day.
