Well I'm gonna have to rip my car apart when I get home now. Yesterday night I started getting a nice clunking noise any time I'd hit a bump. It's pretty bad and really annoying to drive with so that now takes priority. Hopefully I can get it fixed and back together before its time to take off.

I just use my keys. Chris has a tire pressure gauge and they have free air to fill tires back up with.

Yeah but for some reason he had to fill up and was running down the track with 3/4 of a tank of gas. I think he can 14.8.

congrats derek, u were kicking ass where all of us were doing ass.

update on my car status:

I think I may have a boost leak. Im basing this on the low trap times, and the lack of power in the top end. I will be checking all my vacuum tubing and re-tightening everything. I think the primary culprit may be the BOP. Im going to tighten that thing down tigher than a nun's ***** and get everything installed this weekend. Map-clamp, and wideband are going in NO EXCUSES. I am still soo pissed at the cars performance that Im going to make sure everything is perfect and I dont have any issues for the next time.

Im also going to aggressively tune the map clamp so I can run ~18 psi.

count me in for two weeks friday. I should have my TCS up and running by then, and Im not going back till I have everything perfect.

Run a dedicated line from the manifold straight to the BOV so you eliminate the other PCM controlled solenoid.

I'm not doing rolls until I at least get my exhaust work done.

Wednesday night is a work night. Kinda lame to drive 50 mins back and forth on a week night just to be rushed home because of work the next week. Once Shredd and Regan cruise nights start up, I'll be there every Wednesday night.
