Re: Going Back to Moroso running Race Gas

Ya I saw that MR2 it was Tony something racing. I only saw it run 10.11@118mph I don't think he is sub 10second legal he backed out of it really early.

I had problems all day. I was still only running 25psi. But got there early so I could get as many runs in as possible for tuning.

But since I was the 2nd person down the track, the track hadn't warmed up so I just light up first gear went

1st run 12.5@116mph - 2.0 60'
2nd run same deal - 12.4@116mph 2.1-60'
3rd run turned down the launch rpm from 6250 to 6000rpms - but by that time a few of the slicks cars had gone down and so now the track was heated up. Bogged really bad Went 12.1@116mph - 1.98 - 60'
4th and final run - Noticed my exhaust was turning white so I upped the boost or at least I thought I was - ended up running 13.2@107 on 20psi, and once again the same damn turbo bolts came loose, blowing my exhuast manifold to turbo gasket which ended my day. I just finished swapping it, I still could get another 2hrs of racing in but I've spent enough time monkeying around today. So I've called it quits time to hang out with the family.

And I don't know where these Moroso techs are getting there info but I got this same nuckle head again.

As of Jan 1st he says any Import running faster then 11.99 has to have:
-Engine Diaper
-20lb Radiator Cap
-Sealed overflow tank
-Has to have at least 6pnt harness bar
-at least 5pnt harness
-Racing Jacket

But the domestic vehicles don't need an engine diaper till 9.99 What the hell is up with that?

I have all my runs on tape if anyone is interested. I'll have to down load them later.

I didn't get anyone else's because I lost the battery to my camcorder so I have to using it through my inverter.
