He's smoking crack if he believes that. His GT500 with a TT setup, built motor is easy 140-150K, a coyote would be half that. I'm honestly surprised he is still battling that car and can't run faster then high 9's, he could of went faster with a stock blower.
I think he had it turned way down and was trying to get the launch control to be happy with something they were testing. That car made 1400 he said and is capable of 1800. Thats what he said.
I'm sure the car is capable of that power on the dyno, but the fact is can't squeeze more out of it, even in the back end is kind of odd. He's been stuck at that number for some times now.
Yeah, midnight cars work really well, but most don't weigh anything lol. DCT GT500's are going 8's, which is why i don't understand Ken seems to be having such trouble to knock the time down. I do agree with throwing a TH400 in it, would be nasty.
We havent changed anything with the knock sensors. But picking up knock and the car pulling timing is what its supposed to do. As I said, the car picks up knock even with the OEM tune and 93. Thats insane but true. Thats why I wanted to run something easily sustainable like e20 to increase octane without anything like Meth or having to add $20 a gallon MS109 and so on.
He would also have to push the car super hard to come anywhere near 3° of kr on e85 though l, like add 200whp to what he has now and would still be super safe on e85, I’ve never pushed a set up hard enough to actually see knock on e85
Almost every time I've seen it happen there's been destruction along with it. This is where mbt and watching where it stops making jumps in power really come into play and why I don't like bouncing off the sensors even with pump fuel. Even though on gas there's a fair bit more warning before glitter.
E85 won't knock, just looses power when your over advanced, but that is with a good ethanol percentage. If you are picking up knock on E85, it is very likely false, but it can also be due to piston scuffing/rattle as it is a very dry fuel and does wonders to oil (not in a good way) that are not E85 stable, will wash them off the wall. I always add in top end lube specific for E85 on my car, but it is also being pushed extremely hard.
Either way, full E85 on these cars is a pipe dream for all but full on racecars. You'll end up being $10k into fuel system to do it right. And port injection is a BITCH to tune from what Im hearing.
