race day :D

leaving in 10 mins for the f-body nats
i believe i finally got the tune nailed down so should be a really good day as long as the air and weather stays good.and the car will be on slicks for the first time with the new setup so i will be able to launch under full boost


stay tuned for vids

Re: race day :D

sorry guys the event got rained out next track date will be next weekend.
and btw driving back 100 whatever miles in a down pour with no wipers sucks,

but the good news is we didnt have a single problem with the car this time out, i was kind of woried about that long of a drive on a brand new motor,thats had a few cooling system issues already,but all went smooth,and the car never went up over 165*.i was also able to get a few good data logs on the drive up and it apears the tune is deff just about on,i have a few spots in the ve map that are slightly rich,but nothing to major
