July 9th RF?

We tried to get Mara's Talon going for RF, but it was maxing out the hacked 1G MAS on the dyno the night before and going lean, so we gave up.

well for me it really sucked ass. i ran a best of 16.106, i was only runing 14 psi. i was a little scared to run 16 or 17. i bent 2 sets of valves. hopefully on the 29th i can get back to the 15.5 that i ran before.

Car ran like shit. I dont think they used any VHT except once right before the eliminations.

First run was a shitty 11.19 @ 128. I ran one other pass that the car worked "right" which means nothing fell off it. My ignition still breaks up really bad between shifts. Im working on fixing that now. Funny thing is the boost was at ~30psi on these runs and it was at 25.5-26.5 when I last ran the car @ 11.10 @129. That tells how bad the ignition is breaking up. Two other runs I made had first the exhaust falling off, then the lower ic pipe blew off. Oh well :)

I also did run the car in the eliminations at wastegate pressure, missed 2nd gear and shifted slow... ran a 12.2 @ 118 I think. That was the only fun part of the day :)

I would rather run a 2G MAS or a speed density chip than a VPC. The VPC does too much ECU fooling.

Hey tim, I'd make that 2nd cylinder wire a bit longer, and also ground that coil setup better for next time. And, I'll be there again, so you may use my spark plug gapper ;)

It wasnt that, everything he had was working just fine... Clutch wire + AEM = no more spark break up. :)

Yes I believe I fixed the ignition problems finally. First the Evo coils couldnt take it. Then it would break up the first half of each gear. I believe it was an EMS issue which I hope is now fixed... car hits each gear and pulls hard now.

Last two things to fix is the lower IC pipe so it quits blowing off and get the EMS or something to control the boost.

I think Trina will run the car a few times next time out. Need to get her into the mid 11s at least :)

yea, get what I am running. It's a gm boost control solenoid. Plugs into the stock harness (atleast on a 1g) with a little rewiring, but it is basically a cheap electronic boost controller. Then, through AEM, you can control boost per gear, per mph, or whatever.

Yeah the GM boost control would be really cool, its just getting it setup that is the problem. There is like 8 tables that you have to calibrate to get it to work. Jet and I set one up awhile back and it took hours just to get it to hold boost and not overshoot the target boost, but then it wasn't climbing very fast. It was a pain in the ass. I am sure there is an easier way to do it now, but my guess it would take a lot of playing with it to get it right.

The nice thing about it would be that you can run different boost at different RPMs as well as a few other things.
