Default Re: What do you think of this engine performance upgrade?

Really just straight methanol race fuel. You can get custom formulated fuel if you want to pay. I really plan on not running that high of octane I hope just inj. straight methanol or water/methanol mix which ever works better in high daytime temps. The purpose is to cool everything down as much as possible so you do not detonate. 87 octane has more power in it than 100 something octane does. 87 is more volatile than 93 or higher. If all was perfect You would want to run 87 and try to tame it with right inj. mix, timing and just allot of other variables then as much boost as you can. It will just depend on when we start cranking it up a notch at a time during the year playing with the tune and asking Allen for help if we are able to get it ready to go. Plus getting Allen to make small enough pulley to get to boost I want.

If we can make it to the run Allen offered to go along which I will most gladly accept if it is possible. Just hoping to get it to 18 or 20 lbs. of boost for runs. What we set up at home will be base to have to take to run and build on due to temps., altitude, humidity and what ever other variables when you get there. It is a 2 or 3 day deal so you get tuning time and test runs. Same as pro drag racers they tune at ever track starting with a base model that maybe even stored from year before on that track and adjust it. So they show up as much as possible before the races to change tunes.
That is why i hope Allen will get to go and help me since he is use to tuning in the Texas heat. We will even have an old fashion ice bucket with coiled fuel line inside to add dry ice or what ever we feel we may need to cool fuel down even more. Water/meth inj. is choice to help cool air down so you hope you figure it out. Huge balancing act and could blow it up the first test day but, do not plan to push it that hard first year there so i can learn.

Since there is no class for an SUV unless they decide to do it we will run in open class which we have no chance of running 261 mph in a 1 mile trap I think a Toyota Celica set it in 05 maybe a Nissan. Yet as i was told by organizers i would be setting a speed that may draw others to come and try and beat our SUV which could lead to a class. We have a couple of magazines interested in meeting us there so who knows may start a new class the next year. It is still bragging rights to be the fastest 8000lb. SUV speed and time holder at The Texas Mile sanctioned by the same body that does Bonneville salt flat runs and there is another in North Carolina I think. Gives somebody else that wants to bring a full stock interior etc. vehicle with same weight, something to take a shot at and if i get to bring it back the next year hope somebody shows up to compete against. Really to costly of amount of fun but, what else would you want to do leave to the kids?

We are aloud to have pit crews and they do not allow pit passes so maybe some will get to come and help out or hang out as pit crew. I hope it all works out I have been thinking about this and planning it for a year now to do it this fall since we cannot make the early spring runs. Phone calls that kind of stuff trying to figure from them what they want to do with us.

The rest of the time it will be tuned with 10 lbs. and inj. mix and co2 spray set for WOT only just incase some fun shows up.

Dragon every so often has a car club or sometime just local gearheads do some driving on the strip and then go park in a big lot and let people stop and look as most of the rigs are ones that MSA is sponsoring so they show up to support the shop. So we have Dragon's Celica Gt & the H2 there. Then we have sponsors to take H2 to show for so it has to be many things.

Oh if anyone is interested in buying the hotest Celica GT You have ever seen with turbo the works Dragon is thinking of selling it and building something new. This car has so many trophies and just so much WOW it is a 3 head jerk when you walk by it at shows. We have seen people do it. You know the retake looks. I suggest if You would like a tuner in the family also, check this car out as it has been sponsored heavily. I think has been used in web shots and mags more stuff on it than i have ever seen and is classy hi tech no cheese look here. PM Dragon for pics. He completely redid the ride in 06 paint i think. It has no rear seat as it has huge 14" subs built in with more in rear trunk with all the amps, caps and carbon fiber hand laid everywhere. Wish I had more money I want it. Lambo doors and turbo I think I said already. Blue

Hope to add some spice to life and anyone else interested in seeing what an H2 can do! We know they are great off roaders, just a new type of challenge for H2. Thanks to all of those who PM me with support as well as those who do in forum also. I know I'm running on the other edge of what H2 was built for but, it just seems to draw me to see what it could do.

I forgot Dragon had a BUSA he sponsored that ran something over 220hp at the rear wheels and when I stopped keeping up he was just getting started maybe adding nitrous etc. so i do not know where he went with it.
