Ya I haven't even really much for a good comparison to be honest. Doing 3rd gear logs my car just starts spooling at around 75mph. I'd need to do a 2nd-3rd run. But even with spool time my 75-115mph 3rd gear pull is currently faster than my TVS on race gas.

Ya blue you also rev way higher so for us to compare we'd do a 75 to 120ish run. What cams are in that again?

log#3 no pain no gain. i now know what the subbie "sound" sounds like. fortunately no blue and white smoke to go with that subbie sound. thottle body crapped out need a new one. however we did make decent gains and going for more once i get a new thottle body. special message to any lurking lnf's. kevin is even smiling as well as me.


looks like i got a date with a s10

Mark improved from 6.0 sec to 5.7 75-100mph first run slightly uphill. I went from 4.1 to 3.6 first run slightly uphill too but both of our runs were done on the same roads latest were 10mins apart. So both showing gains and Mark has said that it must be magic what Taylor is doing already with the car even after only 2 logs

It was confusing we kept on agreeing that it didn't blow but we were like WTF?? When I first pushed on the TB plate it sounded weird the cleaned up drove for 50ft then limp mode again

well I think we both knew I didn't blow up due to the lack of smoke but the subbie sound was definitely there. i wasn't too worried, i knew we would find the issue eventually.it was very strange for sure. it had 1 hiccup around 6800 then it went down hill fast. i caught a wiff of sweet smell occasionally during the day. im guessing that was my warning. im thinking i wouldn't put too much thought into that last datalog. the trims were most likely skewed due to the malfunction of the TB.

even if i did blow my mind went straight to what kind of pistons am i gonna get hahahahaha

my plan is to quickly check the wreckers for TB on Monday. if there is none i think i might rush one out from zzp. there might be one in airdre but the dealer wants 350+.

I think I also found my winter beater. hahahahahahah your all gonna laugh. I will give only 1 hint on the type of car. it has 13 inch tires. lol
