Love it !!!New shoes!
Took a little work to get the 15" rears to work with the 12" brakes, but they fit!
Probably. It's all new territory for me. I'm going to need a little seat time. Also, this car has been tuned on Torco + 93 Octane to 880 rwhp without enough spring in the wastegate to keep it closed. I was hoping for 4 digits when I pieced everything together, and the turbo should be good for more than the one in the blue car, which made 954. I'll take a trip out to Sacremento after I get the new ARB in. The old one broke because I was driving it on the street. I'm replacing it with a bolt-in style ARB so that if it happens again, I can do it without any welding.Finally you can get some traction... with the 13psi or so your making the car should be down into the 9's by now right??
No. I had just pulled it off of the trailer. It might find its way to an occasional street race on them, but for normal driving it gets the 17" wheels and tires in post 102. Racemaster 325/45/17 & 245/45/17 Michelin PSS tires up front.Slicks on the street ?
If thats the case you should add Wmethonal spray a mix of 50% denatured alcohol 50% distilled water.. two 14GPH nozzles in the charge tube before the throttle blade. No more torco needed on 93. and you can add 4-6* advance first run on the dyno.
Have you played with a knock sensor and set of headphones?? its easy cheap and gets the job done
Yeah, you're not kidding. I like driving with the ARB attached even though they say not to. It is pretty harsh, as you say. However, I don't have a spool. The Strange S-trac seems to work pretty nicely, although it has felt squirrelly a couple of times after gassing out of a turn.A.R.B. (and spool) is really nice when dropping the hammer,on the street.
A little harsh the rest of the time.
Not bad at all! I bet you enjoyed that pretty of a cruise up the coast.
The furthest ove driven my car is maybe 10 miles round trip. I've got to step my game up. I'm being a lil' chickn' sh!t
22MPG is not bad!! what cam, target AFR and timing??? cam has alot to do with MPG as some require a much higher cruise RPM
Love hearing stuff like this . My car runs down to like 1300 as well in overdrive if you are going slow enough . I did like 300 plus miles in less than 24 hours last time I had it out . It’s what they are for to enjoyYep, and I found a new route that doesn't beat the car as badly as the 101. It was utterly beautiful and HWY 85 keeps me closer to the coast, which acts like A/C.
Hey, I understand. Get some seat time, first. Gotta have the confidence you won't get caught out in traffic.
Actually, I shut it off and made my buddy push most of the way ;-)
I didn't even pull up the tune, because it's been running so nicely. I do run a Racepak dash on this car, however. And, I watched the AFRs stay between 14.8 and mid 15s with the occasional bounce to the max gauge reading of 15.8. It never sputtered, though. I only glanced at timing once and it was at 32-33 ish. I did the street tune over a year ago, now.
The Blue car drives nicely, but this one is an absolute sweetheart on the streets, and it's really got me considering getting Ed to do another cam. The difference in static compression ratio doesn't account for the difference in the tune. (9.3 vs. 8.5). I can drop this car in 6th gear at just over 50 mph and it just purrs at 1300+ RPM. The blue car, which if I'm not mistaken was originally a Jay Allen blower cam with a nice healthy split and just doesn't like it below 1800 or so. 6th gear is only good an 80+ mph cruise. This car is a 600 lift, small duration, reverse split cam with no overlap. (LINK)
