Rock Falls October 15&16

[EclipseGST]

Shit... For that many runs $69 doesnt sound bad at all! Plus with the cool weather this could turn out a good weekend!

Well i'm scheduled to go on Saturday. I took the entire day off tommorow(Friday) to install my PLX wideband and make everything is a go. Hopefully I can break into the 10's. J/kidding :) Nah! Hopefully low to mid 12's will make me happy for my first time ever out with the AWD.

I know of a certain 2G that might put down some good numbers if he can drive and get some traction tomorrow. I heard the guy that built his engine is a real lazy bastard that will be working on his own POS tomorrow.

I'm all packed up and ready to go for tommorow to test/tune day. I just got my wideband o2 up and running today. This will be my first time to the track with my GSX. My best time on the old GST was a 14.05. I hope to skip a whole second and then some at some point tommorow.

Well i went to test/tune day at the Rock. No DSM's other than mine. :-( This is my first time out with the GSX to the track. This is actually my first time out with an AWD. The lauching took some getting used to that's for sure. I'll just spit out my best run of the day. All were 12 second runs. I have a very good boost leak some where that seemed to be progressive. After each run I would have to crank up the boost just to run the same amount of boost as the previous run. I probably turned in the MBC at least 4 turns which is ALOT!!! I never could boost past 19 lbs. I might have hit 19.5# a couple times but that was it. Pissed me off and i didn't feel like digging for it. Too hard to find without actually doing a real test. Idle rpms kept going down so i know it was definately leaking.

I used NLTS and Antilag all day. I used antilag at the line and during shifts. It's noisy but it works! By the end of the day I had my studderbox set at 6500. It was pulling the motor down too much with anything less.

My personal Best <<-- EVER -->>

60' 1.795
330 5.197
1/8 8.024
MPH 89.53
1000 10.42
1/4 12.441
MPH 112.16

Once i get that dam boost leak fixed so i can boost around 26-27#, there is easily 11's in the car. Plus I gotta work on that lousy 60'. 1.795 could be greatly improved upon.

Overall i was extemely impressed. I went from a best of 14.05 in the old GST to a 12.44. My goal is 11.99.

I might take it to Fun Day next weekend if i find the leak. Should be an extremely easy leak to find.

Lousy 60'? I went 10.4 with a 1.79 60' :) Congrats on the time, you should be in the 11s in no time.

[Onefast99gsx]

Thanks Shane. I really appreciate your help throughout the summer, Seriously!!! You've helped me alot. I guess i didn't really know what a good 60' was because i didn't goto Rock today knowing what a good one was. 1.795 is pretty good now that i looked at some peoples timeslips. I was cutting high 1.8's most of the day but then i upped the lauch RPM so it wouldn't pull the motor down. That helped considerably.

I got the Wideband o2 in last night. Now you don't have to keep telling me to get a wideband :-) Stupid me, i didn't know what to shoot for on the wideband so i was playing it safe today and running it at 11.9:1 a/f ratio. What do you shoot for on 114 octane fuel??? For some reason I thought i could go around 12.3:1 a/f but wasn't gonna do it without knowing for sure.

BTW- you're 10.42 will be a very long time before anybody touches that. There was a Viper there today. NICE!! Saw him run a 10.99 but he was spraying the NOS.

Thanks again! I couldn't be more proud of myself after today.

[SlowWhite]

Very nice times especially on 19lbs. was this pump gas?

There was a ford lightening running 10.7's today... He was running 125zex shot ontop of bigger supercharger.

[Onefast99gsx]

Thanks Brian. I appreciate the compliment. Nah- it was on 114 octane. I just couldn't get it to boost more than 19psi. Either bad boost leak, bad MBC or malfuncting internal wastegate actuator. At only 19# I could have run on pump 93 gas and my Meth Injection but I turned that off and just ran the straight race gas. I'm happy though. Can't expect to run goals the first time out otherwise it would get boring. Now if i was running 26psi and went 12.441 then i would be a bit disgusted.

BTW- I made 8 passes today. I'm beat. Lots of people there. Probably 4+ breakdowns or oil downs which sucked cuz then then staging lanes would pile up and you'd have to sit forever. After 8 runs i was sick of it for the day.

[awd-drifter]

damn, thats alot of runs. Whats the fastest car recorded at RF anyways?
