Re: July 2nd Grudge Nite

If I'm not in SF or watchin' UFC, I'll come out. You thought it wasn't prepped good last time huh?

Thats to be determined. might be a skateboard.
In that case, I'll race. Marc will just end up putting nitrous on his to beat me.

Re: July 2nd Grudge Nite

Well I ordered a new higher volume fuel pump off of our wonderful third gen classifieds. edelbrock brand 255lph tpi pump. This will allow me to run more PSI my gauge was showing 14.5 lbs but an underhood gauge is not 100% accurate, and even at that its only at an idle. And reading more about the TBI engines, it appears that the stock TBI pumps just barely get by feeding a stock TBI engine. So me being upgraded with heads, and a bigger throttle body with higher # injectors equates to recipe for disaster. So I am changing out the pump, see if I can bump up the pressure higher. Therefore having more pressure at higher rpm for more fuel volume and see how it does. If that does not take care of most of it. Then i'll be buying a flash ECM setup from www.dynamicefi.com and learn how to tune myself. so basically if the fuel pump takes care of it mostly then i'll be running it knowing i'll benefit more from a tune and then buy the program when I can really afford it. Wish me luck.

I was almost going to be in Monterey for the Laguna Seca weekend too, but plans got changed to Tahoe instead.

I think Sunday a buddy and I are going to just fart around SF for the day. Drink some awesome coffee, take in some atmosphere and get an epic grub on at Tommy's Joynt. Nothin' fancy.

So, I may come watch you fools for a couple hours on Sat.

An ignorant outsider might say we're all fools for investing $$ in these cars. Little do they know the awesomeness.

Re: July 2nd Grudge Nite

deffinately. I bumped up the fuel pressure more it feels better but with my scan tool showing way to many knocks under WOT. It isnt worth it to keep beating on it the way it is. Im saving up for the EBL flash and will be able to go in there and manually adjust things.

Tim and I will probably show up around 4-4:30 Mr Joey J.

Re: July 2nd Grudge Nite
