I live in Texas and 150 degrees means I have been idling for a long time in 100+ heat or something is wrong. I see mid to low 140s after the 1/8th mile and then on decel a sharp drop.

 

1/8th being in the 100+ day as well.

 

the experts tend to say seeing anything above 140 like during a pull is bad

not sure at what point the ecu starts pulling timing though (if at all idfk)

one time on a 50-150 pull my iat2 got up to 189 that was in the middle of winter but with no cooling mods

 

I don't think my car has even seen UNDER 140* on a 2nd-3rd gear pull, and certainly not through 4th. Back on stock blower, TVS, 2 different IC pumps, swapped wiring, any of the cooling mod combos I mentioned earlier. I just accepted it as it was The ECU will pull timing at whatever temp you have it commanded to pull timing, by however many degrees you want. Mine is usually setup to pull 1* at 158* IAT2 and 3 or 4* at 176* IIRC.

Just recently when I got the 07 running I went and started tuning it, and on the first full 3rd gear pull into a little of 4th it just felt so disappointing...then I looked at the log and saw 223* IAT2's with tons of timing pulled...the relay for the IC pump was bad lol fixed it and its all good.

 

jesus! pump dead?

 

The relay was bad haha

 

i hit around ~210 IAT2 on during my dyno session over a month ago. pump died going up on the dyno ironically... not posting those numbers

I usually am around 130-150 after a hard pull through 4th on hotter days.

absolutely loving the cold weather. last night i did 40-135ish pull (hit 7k in 4th) and i was just above 100 iat2 lol

forgot to mention this is with basically all cooling mods aside from meth on a 2.8 pulley

 

100s a nice number to see.

Well the cars going into storage this week guys.

I spent all of yesterday detailing it. Ofcourse before that i took her out for a nice spirited drive to enjoy the current setup one more time. Got her up to 120 a few times, what a riot this car is already.

Im gonna miss her all winter

On a good note i just paid lsjion most of the amount for the headporting!

Ahh, the smell of **** getting real...

 

pulling through 4th on the street is not that bright

 

Hey i'll admit to that.

 

Storage unit?

 

Buddys gf has a big garage that hes renting for our projects

We got a lot on our plate this winter.

88 trans am is getting its built n/a 427 replaced by a dart nitrous small block gonna be a 400 shot and expected to go under 10s

Other buddys cj5 jeep is.gettingits 4.0 inline replaced by an amc v8 forget the size, gonna be a cammed monster by spring/summer hopefully

Chevelle ss that runs low 11s is getting a nitrous dart big block

Repainting friends gfs trans am...

Nother buddy just got a 95 5.0 stang were gonna fix up a bit...

Im in the wrong crowd

 

Nice! I'm thinking about buying a carport.

 

Lucky! i have a small single stall garage to work with. In the process of insulating it my work bench collapsed so I need to build one before i get ***** deep in tearing the engine down.

 

Oh yeah youre gonna be having.some fun then huh lol

Oh and also the shop i work at has a life so we can drop the cradle there; should we decide to do such a thing

Im very fortunate for the opportunities i have here, and dont wanna let them go to waste.

 

We have a garage, but as of now I can't store the car in there unfortunately.

 

Rice, stop worrying about cooling mods, and start your build

 

I was going to say that but not as nice lol

 

Figures

 

i'm not even worried! well kk only other thing i'm worried about is the i.c. pump but my buddy and i are thinking of using a better water pump that flows 2x more, have it remote mounted

other than that i'm just worried about everything else now!

 

Stock pump is perfect. No need to upgrade it.

Change it out for a new one if it has a lot of miles.

 

rice the pump is already remote mounted from the factory just replace it there is nothing wrong with it

 

fiiine. i figured the stock pump would wind up with issues trying to push so much coolant around

all of my cool ideas get shot down

 

Keep it simple, keep it efficient.

 

keep it gangster

so when should i start my official build thread? its not so potential anymore. think i'll do it when the valve cover comes off
