Re: Finally getting stuff done on our cars

Alright jokes over.
Went to the track tonight, only got in 3 runs, as I have a pressure issue in my coolant system, and no its not the heads lifting, already checked that.
14 gallons of gas, 92 octane .
I didn't touch the aem other than to log, and I didn't touch the tires, just slapped in my side bars, and hooked-up my kill switch.
1st pass, I wasn't allowed to launch.
60' 2.292
330' 5.882 (to say it bogged hard is an understatment)
1/8 8.558
1/8mph 92.40mph
1000 10.796
1/4 12.624
1/4mph 125.01

2nd pass...launched
60' 1.779
GRIND I coudln't get into 2nd, so I aborted the run, went 14.98 @ 90.58mph.

3rd and last pass
60' 1.919 ( turned up the rear suspension, bad idea I guess)
330' 5.070
1/8 7.681
mph 94.97
1000 11.657
mph 127.08

That run I had to grind and wait for 2nd and 3rd gear took 75-100' to get in.
Clutch engagement issues FTL!
Now my 2nd gear syncro is shot, woohoo . I guess I knew it was coming, 114k on a stock transmission.

Still, for the 1st time out to the track with this setup, I am not to dissapointed.
Now if I can get the gears to work, the coolant thing figured out, and the 60's down .
