Tracktime....Rnd #5

If things go right i'll be headed to make the 50th pass on the coupe in the last 7 weeks. Also this will make over 70 passes total for me so I'm getting the hang of it.

I'm not sure what the deal is.
I still have the TC intercooler, I'm at 14* base, and 18 psi. I'm a little amazed. I'm running 93 octane w/ knock disconnected. Fuel pressure at idle with the vacuum connected sits at about 35 psi and the A/F never goes into the green. I've tried to keep it 2 bars in the green so I'll probably turn the base pressure back up tomorrow. (yeah stinger I know but the wideband isn't in the budget just yet)

I've driven 120 miles now and haven't heard the first sign of detontation. Is that normal? lol
I might switch back to the volvo cooler tonight and try it again tomorrow.

What is considered the correct procedure to setting the kirban AFPR? with the vacuum unhooked or hooked up?

I'll bring what spare stuff I can. I'm looking for it to go 10's since thats what I was running when it was struggling. Is that the earliest you can get there?

I'll try to get there as soon as I can. I'll shoot for 5:30, and hopefully if tyler gets over here in time, we can leave as soon as we swap those tires. (he still has a mini spare on there from that blow out a couple weeks ago!) But I dunno...it's REALLY slow with just 6 PSI. Like n/a 2.3 slow, lol. Hopefully you can figure out what it's doing.

Get there before I get aggrevated......5:01PM lol so we can see what the deal is with it. you might change the spare too. I know the tech guy but I doubt they will like that much.

Base fuel pressure is ~38 with the vac line removed. That is how you set/check it...vac removed.

So at 35PSI w/ vac I'm over that base pressure by a fair amount. Seems to run fine there.. The A/F gets all stupid and lights up like 5 bars. I know still, we've gone over that already but I'm just saying I thought it was a little weird.

I think I'm going to just post all of my times...I had a fairly good night...finally
I stayed with the stock TC intercooler. 14*, 17PSI, 93 octane, knock disconnected. It was 30% humid and about 86*F.

Right off the trailor on a 225/60/16 street tire just like a drove it the last 2 days:

that run was against the SRT 4 he had less than 1 MPH more trap and I had more trap than that on the next run

Final runs iced hard and went up to 18 PSI and I ran back to back 4 minutes apart no cool down:

That guy in the orange hatch parked next to us was the one that ran his mouth to me...By the end of the night he wouldn't even tell me what the car was running.

Well I just kicked my own ass when I realized I accidently video taped over the SRT vs. 2.3T in car cam race. That looked awesome too! Oh well, we can always do it again...

But I did get a couple of your runs, they came out pretty good. Give me some time to edit it and I should have it uploaded tonight.

You guys were heading out about the same time I ran the 8.9 Did you at least get to see it? i think tyler did. When I went back for the last run I heard him laughing the same as me so I figured he caught it.

notched86 said:

Oh I didn't realize your trap speed was as that high, I was thinkin back to last week when you were in the 60's.

Click to expand...

66.65 last week and almost 76 this week.

What was wierd then though....Last week I coud run it hard and then half throttle in 3rd and it would still run about 65-66 MPH.

Amanda did a great job taping this tape. She was sitting next to Jason and Chris (orange Mustang) when I ran the Neon. They were cheering for me.

hey man you messed up 8.9 may never come again.


It worked for me not to mention condensing makes it look much faster.

Oh yeah the SS is stupid fast. he had a .58 to my .80 Light I didn't even want to take off I was busy watching him do a good job.

EDIT: Where did the link go?

notched86 said:

probably would have done high 12's.

LAST time I just sit and watch. Next time I'm deffinately running something.

Click to expand...

nope about 12 flat




You can always run your...................

I think I've watched my video about 100 times now. I think it may go a little faster with a better cool down. After taking the advice of a good friend I've decided to have a good time and the best time I'm shooting for is 8.966 again.
