Travis, how do you need a new ECM? There has to be a 100 of them sitting in the wrecking yard. If you tow your car to the GRUDGEFEST, & I'll put my ECM in your car so you can run.
I'm looking at buying a new trans & re-gearing my rear diff by the Grudge Match. Maybe thats the diff between Men & boys!!!

Marc, I had my car all wired up ready for the accel gen 6 like Benny has, but mine has been stolen. A factory ecm isnt gonna cut it, either I need another gen 6 or a megasquirt system.

By having Bennie come work for us, I have already won!
Rocklin Automotive is proud to have Bennie and his family join our family. I look forward to expanding our services. Bennie is a huge asset, anyone that has worked with him or has had work done by him, knows he's a wealth of automotive knowledge and skill.
Beware of any Rocklin Automotive tuned car on April 26th!

Fun times tonight. someone owes somebody some oil ;)
Steve- Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi to you or the wife. I was real tired and sunburnt from relaxing in the pool all day.
My doctor is going to kick my *** tomorrow.

webeeZ28 04-27-2008 01:21 AM

Re: April 28 Grudge Fest at SacRaceway
 
A total of 3 runs tonight. What's with my tires smoking down the track :huh: I think my car's too fast for my tires. Pulled a time of 15.225 @ 92 mph on third try. Good to see the guys that were there. A shout-out to Vinny for kicking my a$$. I know mine can do better...next time.

3rdBird 04-27-2008 01:57 AM

Re: April 28 Grudge Fest at SacRaceway
 
Well hers the scoop on my 3 runs
1st Round
Bennie -vs- Marc (3rdBird) Win goes to 3rdBird.
1.78 60 ft. 13.374 @ 101.2 mph
75 shot Nitrous
2nd Round
3rdBird -vs- Turbo Dodge Neon, Win to 3rdBird Neon Redlight
1.87 60 ft. 13.318 @ 103.2 mph.
100 shot Nitrous
3rd Round
3rdBird -vs- OUTATIMEGTA (DEL) Win goes to 3rdBird, GTA Redlite
1.805 60 ft. 13.129 @ 103.44 mph
125 shot Nitrous

So I won a case of oil & Valencia won a case of oil for beating Bennie in Bennie's 2nd round.

I had a blast, Thanks to Bennie for setting up my gears, & working on my car. I cant wait to see what the TH400 & stall will do. It was a good TGO turnout. IMO.
Let do it again soon. BTW when it the video gonna post of my spanking Bennie???:lol::burnout:

87tpi 04-27-2008 02:10 AM

Re: April 28 Grudge Fest at SacRaceway
 
Haha, I will post pics and vids tomorrow when I get up. It's 12:05 and I just got home so I'm beat.

Webee, I got that on video, they were smoking to about 1/8th mile, Looked like a sweet burnout. :nod:

Travis, no problem, We just hung out on the bleachers and watched Marc kick Bennie's *** Marc:idiot:Bennie

Vin, sorry I didn;t get to say hi. I thought that was your car but wasn't sure then Marc told me it was you but I was on my way out.

Next time I will take the Tahoe down the track, it's a screamer, I'm puting in 4.56 gears/cold air intake/tune this week so it's will be even better.

Re: April 28 Grudge Fest at SacRaceway
 
Looked like you would've had him but I noticed it shifted early or something.

James, I think a lot of it has to do with your tire size and type, but hell I have wider than stock and z-rated and I still blew through mine...:driving: I don't think the C6 gear lube helped much either.

I think you did awesome for the first time out :thumbsup:

Yeah Steve, I heard you were there but up in the bleachers with the little one so I missed you, no worries as I was pretty much landlocked in the staging lanes the whole time anyways. Hope you guys had a blast.

Let's see the vids!

OUTATIME GTA 04-27-2008 05:42 PM

Re: April 28 Grudge Fest at SacRaceway
 
Good to see everyone last night, I think I saw everyone that came out.

Had fun racing Joey (Ramair21) 2x times and thanks for the water!

I should've made a much closer race out of it with Marc (3rdBird), but it was fun.
Think I staged too deep for that one to get the redlight.

Only got 4 runs in, but got a new best of 13.004@107.XX - 1.9X 60'.

I can smell those 12.90's.

Bring on the vids/pics Steve! Thanks for shooting them.

Ramair21 04-27-2008 06:43 PM

Re: April 28 Grudge Fest at SacRaceway
 
It was great seeing all you guys out there.

Del, we have to race again. Im going to buy some slicks soon. I did the math just like you said and i should be 13sec flat. To much HP for those tires i guess:lol:

Great runs to all you guys that raced. We have to do this again soon! Maybe this time have a camaro night (if that is possible):thumbsup:

The 1st run, shifted trans in 2nd but felt like it went into OD and locked up. Before the second run, I disconnected the 4 prong connector that goes to the transmission(lock up solenoid). It shifted fine all 1-2-3 gears but shifting at 5300 rpm. Motor did not wanna go beyond 5400. On top of that the base map was to rich. I need to lean it out a little and check the valve clearance. I never adjusted them since motor was built but I checked way back in my Fair Oaks shop and they were fine then. I finally have a good data log so it's a good start. O2 sensor reading was at .782-.800.... throughout the 2nd run .....FAT.
