Our trip to the 2021 DSM SHOOTOUT

You had trouble coming on boost?

Sadly yes, our previous outing in the late fall of 2020 at island dragway we were able to get 24psi on the line. It took a while(longer than probably what was “safe” ) but we got there. It was a 45degree track night. This outting was nearly 90 and just absolutely gross out. Couldn’t get more than 6psi, we even switched the car to e85 and played with timing and a few other tricks but it just wouldn’t respond. I either killed the converter on our 11 second pass and the previous 12 second passes with the stall up routine or we have a boost leak I just simply couldn’t find or the d/a was just that horrible it wouldn’t work. Regardless of what’s wrong, we know the converter wasn’t right from the start but the car rolled and it’s what we had so we went with it and hoped for the best

Also should add, we had a brake caliper fail during our weekend so that didn’t help the horrible numbers

Guys I know that run toyota 3tcs, hit it with nitrous at least to get the car moving. A 50 to 75 shot might help with that, a nx single fogger is cheap.

@@brokejoebuilds5165 we talked about nitrous for the stall up routine, a 50 shot would absolutely wake it right up but we know a large number of guys that can stall a 62mm without nitrous on these Mitsubishi motors. Gotta pony up the money for a converter. Nitrous is a great way to melt the motor down

Yea that turbo isnt all that big to lag that bad under load. Hmm. A converter will make or break a set up. I estimate I was loosing at least 5mph at the 1/8th for not have a converter built for nitrous. It might be worth you going to the dyno and make sure all the power is there. You went from 11s to 12s etc and kept slowing down correct?
