That clip was a split second foot brake attempt after half a dozen others lol. Is what it is though, the poor car 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was after more than half a dozen launch to 100 attempts so everything had warmed up a lot. I'll have to do a bunch of proper logging and tuning as I haven't done any, other than to ascertain the cams are moving as they should be and to quickly add some timing to suit E85 and more boost. I've noticed yesterday that it seemed it was running out of pump up top but it could also be a blocked fuel filter. The instant fuel seemed to have an issue today too for some reason. The wife and I checked the afr last night and it was fine then, but I wasn't watching today. Something to check tomorrow. I also had only tuned the trans for the 98 tune so it more than likely needs more shift pressure. Flamin non stop stuff to do when you change stuff all the time Edited 06/07/20 09:14 AM by Puffwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest has been warming it up by driving around town. It felt quicker yesterday but you know how you get used to the power pretty quickly. I think it's likely no different. The instant fuel has got me wondering cos it's usually 99.9 but wasn't today. I dunno if it was yesterday or not but I'm definately going to have a look at it. Fine on the wb gauge last night but sh*t can go pear shaped quickly with fuel issues, leaks or blockages etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give it till the end of july. Home tuning with little knowledge is VERY dangerous. Poor man pays twice. three times , 10 times, They never really, never really learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey something must be done correct. Blow ups are a combination of poor parts and poor tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did his car get impounded? I heard through the grapevine someone got hoonlawed in it😲 How much boost currently on E85 and what fuel pump or pump setup do you have? I sometimes wish I had that much traction, other times I enjoy the territory banging the limited in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
