9's what!
Well, after a long season last year and a difficult but long season this year, the car has finally agreed to start behaving,
. Early this year as many of you know we switched my car to an auto trans. The manual transmission worked great until I started reaching power levels where I just couldn't ask anymore of the trans. For those of you who don't know the car now sports a ZZP modified GM racing 4t65 auto. We are using a PCS transmission controller that Matt M had to operate the transmission. Yea, another bad ass part Matt just happened to have laying around, We also use this to control boost, fan settings, and see actual rpm past 8192. We also monitor all the obvious functions of the trans. There is a lot more you can use the controller for, which we will be digging into over the winter.
Here is a quick mod update:
ZZP forged 2.1L short block
ZZP stage II cyl. head
ZZP stage III turbo cams (reverse split)
ZZP LSJ turbo swap kit
upgrades include:
Bullseye Power Batmo Billet S366 with a T3 .70 a/r exhaust
ZZP race intercooler core
3.5" down pipe
190lb injectors
Trans:
ZZP modified GM racing 4t65 (with trans brake)
Power Control Solutions transmission controler
Fuel:
E90
ZZP dual in-tank fuel pump system
The day started out great! The weather was good and I made it to the track early (which is good for a day in the life of me, lol). The first pass of the day the car was breaking up and not running quite right, so I stopped the pass about 700ft out. I threw a new set of plugs in the car and went out for the second pass. The second pass of the day was basically a test run (which is what the 1st pass was supposed to be). We looked at the logs and pulled some fuel out of the car and added some timing. The third pass delivered this!

The fourth pass we turned the boost up about 1lb and made a few small fuel and timing changes. The fourth pass didn't disappoint.

I couldn't have asked for a better way to end the season. Got to say thanks to Matt M for all the help. This wouldn't have been possible without him. For many racing seems easy at face value but I can tell you it is anything but. Matt and I have spent some long hours at the shop after working our regular 9-5 to try and make this car perform. This is not just for our own benefit but to help bring knowledge and quality products to the community. I would also like to thank Zoom for trusting us to get it done even when the fail's rank pretty high at times. I can't forget the rest of the ZZP crew, thank you. Also my wife for putting up with my work/car addiction, lol.
