Final Fueling and Last Race Run with Boost Controller
At 5:23 in
Twin Turbo 427 Escalade Going For 9 Second Pass On LOW BOOST! (LSXcalade Sick Week Days 4-5)
What happens here
The driver decides to fill the tank completely with E85 fuel to achieve the correct ethanol percentage for optimal performance. The video then shows the car running out of gas while driving, confirming the tank is empty. This allows for a full E85 fill-up. After this, a final race run is performed with the boost controller fully engaged. The run results in a 9.791-second quarter-mile at 138.53 MPH, with a 60-foot time of 1.502 seconds and an eighth-mile time of 6.269 seconds. The driver notes that his phone flew away during this run due to the acceleration, and he emphasizes that this setup is still performing exceptionally well, even without previous high-power settings.
Goal: Optimize fuel, execute a final race run, and achieve a personal best
