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

that's why we are getting some ethanol for tomorrow's racing until there's a class where you have to have full interior overdrive and ac to be in that class this thing will never be able to compete in a class because it's just taking all the hard ways that nobody else will put in the effort to do so mitchell you care to explain what just happened oh we just ran out of gas but it's fine because we wanted to run out of gas so we could get the gas out and put ethanol in so that's what we're gonna do now all right let's fill this thing up this is the first time it's ever run out run out like completely out usually when i start to hear do the garble um that's time to fill up and it usually even gets filled up before that but when you're carrying stuff with you you just doesn't matter you just go until it doesn't anymore all right we got boost control on but we have no duty up top so we're just going to try to launch harder [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right best sticks whatever calling it well my phone's gone it flew away somewhere we'll find out how much boost it made up top and then i can confirm or deny that the same boost duty number uh will make the same amount of boosts as the old setup then i can 100 reference the old logs thank you 979 and 138. a one five oh sixty foot six twenty six in the eighth i think the best eighth time was six ten before that but that was with like a one seven sixty foot and just throwing you know a lot more power at it but damn i'm not bad about this at all this is good we're gonna make some power today check it out
