I was going to have my car dyno'd and up there to make some runs but due to a national back order I do not have a tranny that could handle the power and or shift at 9500+ rpm.

So unless a lot of things change, have a safe and fun weekend guys and I hope to catch the next big thing with my never ending project.

You can still come and hang out!

My car is ready I guess, didn't make any more power really, same identical graph/curve as last year. It was hot as hell in the dyno room but Shane's dyno compensates for that so that may not have been a factor.

I upgraded the intercooler and ran a ported exhaust manny and the car still responds exactly the same. Switched to speed density too and that didn't help for power.

443hp/407tq at DB at a couple more pounds of boost. I guess I'm happy to know that after another year, 15,000 more miles and after doing my first Evo timing belt and replacing valve springs, everything is the same. :)

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

And more dyno money spent, to get the same results as the last 30 times you strapped down ;)

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

LOL, something like that. Last year April it made 432hp, then right before MAP proving grounds in June last year it made 421hp, this time it made 443hp. I'm going to guess next time it makes 430. :D

Tonight I needed Shane to get the speed density setup correctly and running right, it does have better driveability then ever before so that's a bonus.


I bet it will run 11.2 at 125 at BIR.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Nope jim your runnin a 10.9 this year!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Redline I have wanted to see your car i have heard it is very clean.

John that sucks, I didn't know the status of your car but we are all waiting to see it.

Jim, you better run better than 11.2@125, thats some good power.

T-dog, your car still running good?

Great news guys, Brainerd just informed us that there will be a price adjustment for this weekends drag racing. The price change will be $25 for the weekend for the drag racing. They want everyone to get their money worth. So even if we see a couple of sprinkles on Saturday, everyone will still be able to get out and make up for it on Sunday!

Also, the AutoX, Drifting, and the Road Course will all be run rain or shine! So everyone get out there early and let's make this a great time!!!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Wahoo! See you there!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Nice. I might have to race at that price,

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

So sat. Looks like a total of 1/2 on off rain. Just gotta decide which day to go up?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Sundays looking better weather wise, but even if it rains on Saturday all events besides drag racing will still be a go from what I understand :)

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Anyone else doing autoX saturday morning? If it's raining come see me drift beaterX! Should look similar to the drift competition, but that's not till the afternoon, LOL!

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Evo X + super jackass mode = win

AYC is the best thing that ever happened to that car.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

Ooh, I'd really love to drift my car on a rainy autox course.

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
 

FYI, the Sunoco station that sells race gas is about 1/4 mile from the front gates on the opposite side of the road, it is 111 octane leaded and costs $7.17 per gallon. Checked it out last night while I was in Brainerd. Have fun guys!
