Caged the 94 this week

Pulled out of my 87 after crash, placed the 4 point in spreading rear bars a little farther apart, new kickers down to the Jegster TQ arm bracket and new custom bent door bars that are awesome! Now have to finish paint, replace all interior probably with new carpet I guess.. Had to patch Drivers floor, huge hole rusted in Guess windshield must have leaked on previous owner. Feels real solid now - probably should not have been running bottom 10s on a t56 car with no subframes or bar - hope it helps times actually, my 87 would 60ft better, which I would contribute running bar directly to Jegster mount.

Orr: Well its hard to improve on your times when you are not allowed there.. I really did not want to, but figured I should.. Car is way to flexable, and seeing as how it actually mafe the 87 faster I hope it helps.. Hope by next year I am rocking 28"s on the back and hitting high 9 in her, don't think I will do it on these 26's, but should hit lower 10s, 10.1/10.0ish I am going to shoot for Sat. TnT, will run N/A first, if it runs good I will spray, unless its running 11.00s then I will try for the high 10 na.
So whats he Skinny on yours dude?? Still code 59 issues? Need me to help with anything?

Re: Caged the 94 this week

i can go pretty much WOT although its abit leaner than i want, but i still have some idle issues with code 59. Was doing great for weeks now have an issue and i didnt change anything. Hopefully by end of this week weather permitting, i'll have tune comfortable enough to get to the track. All i know is where the tune is now, the car is impossible to drive on the street at WOT. All it does is spin tire Gotta be near 600 whp

Nope, no SFC either Just a sloppy chassis.


Orr: Glad to hear it man!! I knew that would not be a smooth ride man! I am sure its probably the TQ killing the tires as well as big HP, got to be in excess of 600 I think. Can't wait to see in person! Bring it to track Sat.. Make sure you are not getting an exhaust leak now causing issues with the 02 now that things have moved and need re torqued.. Maybe try locking BLMs to see if that helps idle issue.

Re: Caged the 94 this week

Code59 runs open loop and i may have exhaust leak out the downpipe at WOT, i think its blowing through the seal but hard to say.. didnt see any exhaust carbonation around the flange so it may be sealing good. For some reason the bung cap on the other downpipe for o2 sensor is permanently stuck in the threads... i cant unscrew it...so i cant monitor other bank. goal is to get it to the track asap, but i still need to get my fueling MUCh closer before i attempt a run. I think this setup may be in the mid 500whp range with 7psi but torque has to be over 600+ just by the way it destroys tires now

Good luck with the track tho, hope to see you get that car running as good as that auto did. If i dont get my car done, maybe i'll bring my TA and run it again for fun and video your runs. Ran 13.4's bone stock last time out
