Made to the tract last night.

After several months of playing with this thing I took it to the track last night.

Keep in mind its been 4 years or so since I have been to a track so I was bad rusty.

My car hooks good on the street so my first pass I didn't really get the tires hot. The lights drop, I dump the clutch and hit the rev limiter before I move 5 feet. Got out of it then back on and off she goes.

Next pass I burn 'em good. No tire spin, 1.82 60 ft, 5.30 330 ft then I miss 3rd gear.

Next 4 passes filled with driver error, out of the grove(hear we go with tire spin again) missing 3rd, and the best one, I didn't release the line lock and slid the front tires about 6 feet.

The last pass was somewhat better , good burnout, .8 reaction on the pro tree, 6.895 ET.

Every pass the engine ran 13.6/13.9 afr on the LC-1 with the Moates O-meter
My laptop took a bump a couple weeks ago so I wasn't able to datalog or do any tuning at the track.

My tune is great for everday driving with 22+ mpg on the hiway, now I need to figure out where to add fuel to richen it up for the track and still keep my 22 mpg for the street.

With a little practice on my driving to get the rust off and some tuning I may have a nice little street car in the end.

Re: Made to the tract last night.

based on that combo you should be running high 11's or low 12's. That driver mod is the hardest one to get down.

Re: Made to the tract last night.

If you're leaning out up top, you're likely running into the bpw limitation (or you will be running into it soon enough with more PE tuning).

This topic hasn't been covered much with respect to MAF cars, but it still presents a fueling problem just like it does for SD, once you try and fuel a thirsty engine.

This is very true, with the time I have been away from the track and the fact that setup is new to me the driverr mod needs tuning.

I'll have to read up on that. As of now I haven't done any wot tuning, only part throttle for everyday driving.

Thanks for posting the link, maybe thats just what I need.

Later,
