I lost to a 2.85 and 42# balt with h/e and hiflo cat and modded stock exhaust 3 times in a row by the same amount.

I'm 2.8 60#s catless, gmpp sport, dualpass, h/e

my afr was lean at 12.1 which i know is bad and if i had heat soak or was super lean how much would that effect the pull? we went from a 40 and he pulled before we shifted to 3rd so pls dont make driver error comments

FML

 

to my knowledge running that lean will lead to a blown motor over time or on the nex wot. you want to keep your afrs in the 11's.

 

ino that.......thats why im asking. i wont be doing any pulls or anything til its changed but thanks cpt obvious

 

Meh 12.1 wont hurt anything on that setup. The car would probably like to be a little richer but as long as you arent knocking it would just be considered a little bit on the "aggressive" side.

 

instead of acting like a smart ass just get your car fixed then. your the one asking a question you already kno......and ppl wonder why they dont get any responses in their threads.

 

Exactly ^^^

OP,
Throw a 3gph water/meth nozzle pre blower w/ a 50/50 mix, should richen you to roughly 11.6-11.7 and crank the timing.

These cars don't make much power from fuel... its all in the boost (efficiency) and timing.

 

His tune>your tune.

 

That's what I was wondering. And 12.xx is a bit sketch to me. Maybe 11.8. Is your IC pump good? What are your IAT's? If you know him and can I'd log both cars and compare.

 

yeah 12s arent bad as long as its not 12.5+ with no meth or e.

 

12.1 isn't dangerous. just aggressive as long as it's not knocking

 

that tiny exhaust is probably holding you back, do you know your IAT2s? Timing? any knock?

 

wanna run me..? good luck man.

 

Those cars should be hella close together.. lol.. Maybe you just had more stuff in your trunk? :P

 

WOW that first part is my setup, the 2.85 and the 42s... He must be cutting it close on his injectors like I am. I have plans this summer hopefully to upgrade to 60s. I want to do an exhaust and injector upgrade, that way I only have to pay for tuning once. I dont have the HE or any exhaust mods though.

 

im told its my slammed car angle angle = tons of DT loss
