went to the track last night, i guess overall, not a bad outing. been tuning on the 2.7 the last couple days, had some misfires in 3rd. was going to regap the plugs when i got to the track. made a couple passes, one of which was my best for the night (10.65@100, 8.34@86.6 1/8) and was wondering "WTF is up with the 1000 trap?" should have easily been 102-103. AH HA! forgot to regap the plugs. find a gapper, and a torx bit for the cover, one ******* cover bolt is rounding out so i cant get it. fml. that ended up being the best e/t (only a 1.99 even).

biggest news of the night was that my wheel hop is RIDICULOUS again. i guess the cab's and mounts are getting worn because this **** is scary. i cant even explain how ******* bad it was.

some funny **** later on though. a local guy with a new si with typical bolt ons and a cobb tuner was with us. he has claimed its a "highway monster" and he outruns new camaro ss's. well.... i was 4 deep, he was gutted from the front seats back lol. we went from about 55-60. he got a big hit and i was pulled even by 70ish lol. proceeded to put him a little ways behind my rear bumper by the end of third. he wasnt too happy afterwards.

him: "stu, what is that thing pushing?"
me: "uh, what do you mean?"
him: "how much horsepower?"
me: "oh, i dont know man, i just race it at the track, hasnt been on the dyno in forever."
him: "man, its gotta be over 300"
me: "not a chance"
him: "dude it has to be, you have 4 people and just started walking me"
me: "idk man!"

rest of the conversation was full of much confusion on his part, and me making subtle jokes at his failure and complete lack of understanding in what a powerband is.

 

video stu???

 

actually have videos of all of the runs. the civic one isnt very clear as to whats going on though. camera guy didnt start til right as i hit it.

 

that sucks man, didnt you change over to E85

 

hell no

 

haha damn my bad, i though you did time to drop down to a man pulley

 

2.7 is fine for now

 

We would have a great 1/8th race. My PB on the 1/8 is 8.3 @ 90

Hopefully my tweeks will change that soon.

 

Why would you post your 1000 ft time, I thought people went by 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile times these days?

 

yea ive never had very good short time ets at this track. down at ennis it went 8.14

because its a 1000 foot track?

 

That makes sense, LOL. Thanks

 

time for some rotated mounts maybe?

 

if i had the cash, yes sir. that and cabs

 

niceee times

 

I'm still up in the air on the cabs. I do need some stronger axles though. don't want to pay for the stage two axles, but I'll go for the ottp ones.

Hey stu, clear out ur damn box!

 

how u liking the 2.7 stu?

 

i havent decided yet. i was usually trapping 100-101 on the 2.85. occasionally 102. i was running 100 all night on the 2.7. however, i was experiencing some misfire pretty often on my 3rd gear tuning pulls. HOPEFULLY this means i was getting spark blowout at the track. we will see this weekend with new plugs and a smaller gap

 

sweet lmk cuz ill be adding a 2.7 soon . and what are u gapping the plugs at?

 

i was gapping at .34 on the 2.85, gapped them down to .31 on the new ones

 

alright thx i need to re gap mines and all for the 80lbs and 2.7 when i get it

 

lol wtf you getting 80's? e85?

 

si señor, injectors come thurs. getting hpt from my friend tomorrow

 

you freaking texans and your abundant fuel

 

sorry. e85 3 mins down the road from me lol 2 exits down from my exit gotta find someone to tune me on e85 tho lol. getting a base map for 80s and 93 octane for now no fun

 

youre still gonna be slow rico!
