Matts94Z28 03-17-2012 05:45 PM

I will be there.

NesbittRacing1 03-17-2012 08:17 PM

I'll be there

TurboWS6 03-17-2012 08:43 PM

Ill be there, data logging and upping the boost / finishing the tune. Got street drivability down and low boost already.

Harry 03-17-2012 08:50 PM

Nope. Flying out Sunday.

Unless you got new tires it seems pointless to increase the boost. If that was you I saw a few weeks ago at the track all you were doing is spinning.

LadyInRed 03-17-2012 10:09 PM

Probably will be.

Jimmyz18 03-18-2012 08:35 AM

I'll be there

Yes 7 psi a month ago was way to much for the street tires (275/40 r17), I came out because some friends of mine were out, and I didn't have the MT ET Streets on the car. It ran a shitty 7.90 at 97mph spinning its ass off and me pedeling it. My ET streets will be on from now on, and its back to 6K clutch dumps.

Hopefully she will hook with the ET's back on again, I don't think I will be able to run the class tonight though as my tires are 325/50s, I am more coming out to tune early on and enjoy the show. I installed some 3 way adj's on the rear this week, and I put some 80# injectors on her too a few weeks back.

Suspension is stock style, with hotchkis LCA's and relocation brackets/ Panhard Bar, SLP adj torque arm, UMI tunnel mount/ safety loop, Eibach springs. and now the strange 3 ways.

Still want to pick up a drag bar, 90/10s for the front, and maybe some 275# or 300# springs for the front,

You know how it goes these things are never finished there is always something that will make them faster.

If you go with that 6000 rpm cluch dump it will still be a spin fest. Just sayin.
