James and Matt, you two mother ******* need to set each others posts so you can't see them. This **** is annoying for real. I can't even enjoy Stamina's thread.

I actually do! Took a quick Spring Break trip down to the Mexican proving grounds to collect some data.
Had a weird run-in with a sportbike with four headlights last night. I was merging onto the Mexican highway, saw him cruising along a bit behind me on the highway and I just hit it. I got a head start, he saw me and hit it, and quickly caught up to me... and then it's like the bike hit a brick wall, like we both ended up hitting the governors or something because we were at a stalemate after that. We ended up pretty much neck and neck, with his front wheel at the front of my passenger door. Maybe he was just messing with me once he caught up. lol No idea what kind of bike has four headlights. After we let off, he wouldn't let me catch back up to him to give him the thumbs up, like he was pissed off or something. lol
I've noticed something similar with other run-ins with bikes. They'll tear you up with their power to weight advantage until you get up there in speed and then the car seems to have the advantage.
Got a Mach 1 kill tonight in Mexico. Got a vid of that.
Before we left Mexico and crossed back over the border, we also did an overall acceleration test. It didn't feel as quick with an added person in there, but we got that on vid too.
In other news:
No oil consumption or coolant levels changing.
Catch can should be going on tomorrow.
I'm still battling the dang Evap system. It does this rich spike and then when correcting for it swings so lean that it goes to like 17 or even 18AFR. It randomly does this when just cruising in vacuum and it did this on the last engine too. I've gone through like 5 evap solenoids and 2 vent solenoids over the years troubleshooting it. My only other guess is that somewhere in the system there's a leak or something. I'd think that it would set a code though since it does a sensitive test of the system and gas tank though. Maybe it's the recent change in the weather, with things heating up and possibly causing more vapors in the tank. It could also be due to it sloshing around in there with my recent road tests and not having an opportunity to purge due to not being in vacuum as much recently. No idea.

Cap the purge solenoid off and just let the tank vent to atmosphere (put a breather filter on the vent line if you want). Just leave the solenoid plugged in. If the issue has anything to do with the purge system, which I think it does based off what you said, it will solve the issue once and for all.

yeah in the midst of it all i did
i may try this after some more troubleshooting with my issue on tuesday when the clutch goes in. i have had similar issues with fuel trims and can't seem to get it locked down. i did get a code for intake sensor 1 sensor 2 correlation so i replaced the maf and that f'd everything up so im hoping it was just a bad maf. we r retuning it now for the new maf so hopefully that cures everything....that or there is a leak i can't find or it's this evap thing. i have a buddy who has a buddy who works at a shop and is gonna bring his smoke tester to help diagnose a boost leak tuesday so hopefully we get it sorted out. stamina let us know if this evap fix works for you

You didn't? On page 8, you said, "and that josh smith doesn't have Ure clutch. But imagine that zzp dmfails to send the correct part." then when I quoted you and said thanks for admitting that, you didn't respond to correct me. Man, it's tough to understand what you are saying if that didn't mean that he didn't have our clutch.

Yeah it works great but will not pass emissions if you have testing. No emissions in florida. I ran with mine unhooked for 20K miles no issues and if anything car ran a lot smoother overall.
