Went testing (Swifty had nothing to do with this) - new Mitsu gas record!

First pass was a little past the 330' on Q16 fuel:
1.341 60'
3.629 330'
5.631 at 107 1/8th
10.096 at 95.9 1/4

Second pass was a full pass, but breaking up bad up top - too rich and too much plug gap. We dropped tire pressure down a little and it hooked well, but left at a little bit low boost. Running 45-46psi on about a 90/10 mix of Q16/Import:
1.330 60'
3.626 330'
5.491 at 131.97 1/8th
8.5001 at 161.86 1/4

Third and final pass I made sure I had 13-14psi leaving the line, leaned it out a pinch, and dropped the plug gap to ~0.022". Boost fell to 43-44psi on about a 60/40 Q16/Import mix and I lifted just a slight bit early:
1.2978 60'
3.5531 330'
5.4068 at 130.49 1/8th
7.0129 1000'
8.3808 at 167.25mph

I believe this puts us as the quickest mitsubishi on gas that hasn't been converted to RWD.

We had to pack it up and head home since our babysitter had school he next morning. I have no doubt it has more left in it. Its back in the garage now and nothing is hurt, so we'll be heading out again to put the screws to it. I'm sure the turbo has a little bit more left in it and the tune definitely has some headroom as the plugs looked dead clean. Next time out will probably also feature some SparkTech coils, but no major changes planned aside from giving it hell.

Have to thank the guys that have been helping me out:
Forced Performance and their killer cams
Wiseco Pistons - 1400HD's
Precision Industries Billet Torque Converter
Borg Warner/Airwerks 76mm S400SX3 76/83 turbo
Monkeywrench Racing
TRE shot-peened gears

Unfortunately, I don't have video. We'll do our best to get video next time out as we intend to go quicker and faster then.

I figured they'd do it this year! Good job to those guys! Couldn't have been a better group! Discuss.:moon:

Same series of turbos Rau runs too, but in a 80, 84, and his most used, 82mm variant. That's fricken' flying for a FWD, or really..anything!

Re: Went testing-new Mitsu gas record!

wow, thats the second time this summer that he has beat his best time. His previous best was up in brainerd at MAP's shootout day thing.

Re: Went testing-new Mitsu gas record!

Who the eff is 'kevin' I know like ten of them. How about a link to the original post and maybe quote it ;) We know you weren't there man, no need to pretend you were.

This is cool, mid 8's on FWD, what has this world come to! Now kids will continue to keep thinking fwd is ok.

Re: Went testing-new Mitsu gas record!

You know, Kevin, Swifty's good buddy...who probably has never heard of him.

When you make threads like this stop trying to lead people on to believing you were there, had some part of it, etc. I changed your misleading thread title since you had nothing to do with this at all.

Also, what group did this? Seriously man, info info info especially when you're talking about some dude named Kevin on the internet.
