Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
We had a great time and not much breakage. The Evo's best was 10@151 and got kicked out. It makes crazy power, but we need to do a lot of work to get it to go down the track. The ETs should eventually be more like mid/low 9s and the mph should be upper 150s. After Ron got kicked out, he gave us his drag radial to use, which helped a lot, but we were having to run some crazy RPMs with how small they were and it was still spinning bad. Car needs more fuel pump, full cage/parachute, slicks, smaller front brakes, bigger intercooler, weight reduction, etc. Somehow it didn't break. I thought the motor might blow up from the excessive RPMs or the stock tranny/t-case might explode with the car launching at 9000RPMs.
Nate ran a bunch of 10s, I think his best MPH 147. He lost to a Civic from IL in the Outlaw Street finals. We were having some misfire problems in 4th gear late Sat and most of the day Sunday, which possibly got fix when Nate went into town and got more E85. Might have been starving it for fuel once it reached full boost in 4th gear.
Steve's white Civic went 9.9@149 in the Outlaw Street eliminations and got kicked out. He drove the car 3 times over the weekend and went 10.2, 10.1, and 9.9.
The all-motor Sentra that was stuck running 12.0 all day Saturday went 11.9 his first pass on Sunday and then ran a couple 11.8s. He lost to the RDR CRX in the finals, I think both cars went 11.8.
Kevin's Evo went 10.8 after changing 1 value in his tune after running mid 11s on Sat. He eventually went 10.6 and got kicked out.
A lot of DSM and Evo clutches were destroyed or were giving people problems.
I had planned on running my wife's SC300 in the bracket class and winning it with consistant 16.0 times, but I spent most of my time fiddling with tunes in cars. I can remember at least 8 cars that I was changed something on.
